cosponsor in vietnam?

[jessicatran05 5]

Hello, I hope someone can answer my questions. I have been with my fiancee for 4 years now, long distance relationship, we talk everyday and I have 2 years of phone record (i use phone cards the couple years before and then switch to Rebtel calling services). I am in a same sex relationship and DOMA has been struck down recently (June 26th). So I have the right to file petition for my fiancee. Ok a little background about DOMA is that it define a marriage between a man and a woman but it has been voted by supreme court as unconstitutional.

I am master student in the research field (researching diabetes) and my fiancee is a national Sivananda yoga certified teacher (Sivananda located in California). She has been teaching yoga and owning small business for over 7 years now. I have very little income (not enough to meet the requirement), but I do have over 60K in saving (I work before and saved my money). I have a cosponsor (he is a friend) and he makes very good income. He makes over the requirement.

Ok finally my question, would Vietnam view my cosponsor negatively? Would they accept cosponsor? Would they take inconsideration my degree and her degree? We won't have trouble finding jobs and I do intend to go for pHD degree. Also we have a lot of evidence, so they can be sure that it is not fraud!

I appreciate your feedback please.

Vietnam is one of the countries that dos not normally accept co-sponsors for the K1. The fact that you have god employment prospects may help, and as same sex couples (presumably?) cannot marry in Vietnam that may make them see things differently too, but in general, if there is a way you can get married and petition for a CR-1 spousal visa you would have a much easier time with a co-sponsor.

Where did you read that about Vietnam? I only read that Manila don't accept cosponsor. I have read mixed review regarding cosponsor acceptance in Vietnam. Some say they accept and some say they don't.

You can try to email the embassy for the answer, to be sure.

I asked the same thing on here and someone said that my country allows co-sponsor for CR1 but not for K1. So my fiancé emailed the embassy to ask directly and they answered it on the same day with a YES as the answer.
