I know I will be reading some replies about the Manila Embassy is not accepting co-sponsorship.. but I've read so much and I have verified that they do not disallow it.

Well, we really haven't gotten our NOA2 yet, but I am curious to know if my stepfather could be a co-sponsor, because I need one. Last year, I only made $9,500. My mom makes just the right amount for the 125% Poverty Guideline, how ever she is a couple of hundred dollars under, but my stepfather makes more than. So would it mother if it's my mom or stepdad that co-sponsor's us?

Thanks!!!

On October 2013, our I-129F Refused under 221(g)

So our son and I went back home to the PHL..

Just know your embassy is very picky on the K1 co-sponsor thing. But at least its a relative so should be okay.

I'm not really fresh out of the college. I was in college in the Philippines, two years ago but I got pregnant and my boyfriend's parents and my parents just kinda agreed on me coming back here so that my boyfriend would be the only one that we need to file papers for. Would that be okay -- like per se? My boyfriend just graduated from college, and I'm the only one providing for my son. Hope that's pretty valid/convincing.

Aha!!! Thank you! yes.gif

So I heard.. also my mom was a co-sponsor for my uncle, but they don't live here.. they're in California, I guess they just needed a back up. That's why I wanted to know if my stepdad could be a sponsor instead of my mom.

As stated USEM is not known for accepting co-sponsors with the K-1, and when they do accept a co-sponsor they want it to be a family member not a friend. If you can document you step-fathers relationship (copy of your mom and step-father's marriage license may do the trick) then USEM may be more likely to accept as a co-sponsor. Even then there are no guarantees.

I also suggest you complete the I-864 along with the I-134 for both you and the co-sponsor.

Ah, thank you! Seems pretty easy enough, they have everything, because it's my stepfather who petitioned my brothers and I when we were still kids.

So the co-sponsor has fill out a i-864, as well as i-134?

I suggest YOU and the co-sponsor complete the I-134 and I-864 with supporting documents.
