No way around it. Find another co-sponsor. ANY US citizen or Resident can be a co-sponsor.

Are there any friends of yours or other family members that could help you? An aunt? An uncle? A cousin? ... Anybody in your family? Friends of your parents?

Technically, the consulate may look forward to the 864 requirements which require 125% poverty. You would be filing this in the USA after marriage in order to adjust status to resident. Need to find another co-sponsor which meets 125% poverty.

It doesn't matter if you employer withheld taxes on the money. It matters if the income was declared and included in the total income on line 22 of your tax return.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

How could a Church be a Co-Sponsor? It needs to be a US Citizen or LPR, a Church is neither.


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US

Here is a link regarding support: http://www.visajourney.com/content/support, but it says what the others have been saying.. you need co-sponsors or you need to increase your salary in some way to meet the poverty guidelines.

What is the official annual income requirement to be above the poverty line? I have no idea.

When my husband and I were married he was on a very high income working at NASA then he retired from his job and we are now living on his military retirement. We live comfortably but officially have no idea of what the poverty line is.

I concur with others in this thread. A friend of mine came from Australia and married someone who lives below the poverty line and she had to get a US citizen friend to sponsor her. The system worked and she is living happily married here in the US now.

Good luck! I hope everything works out for you.
