Probability of Getting a Co - Sponsor???

[quetz21 1]

I know it's the same old question again. I've read a lot of forums about getting a co sponsor but I still have doubts. Well I am the beneficiary who lives in Dubai. My USC fiance lives here before since 2010 and he just came back to US May 2012. He started working in a bank July 2012. Now the problem is, when we got his 2012 - W2 the salary stated only $16,000 since he started work half of the year. But the actual total salary he receives for a year is about $24,000. We don't think we need a co sponsor for this. We just plan to bring his bank statements and pay stubs to prove that he receives that actual amount of money. I know the embassy wants to see the amount in W2 to be above poverty line but will it be possible if we will just support it with employee letter, bank statements and pay stubs?. Our interview is coming soon and I don't want to encounter any problem when that time comes due to lack of supporting documents of I134. Will we be safer if we just get a co sponsor for this? I'd be so grateful for the help!

I don't think you'll have any problem sponsoring on your own, and USEM rarely accepts co-sponsors for the K1 anyways.

If you are worried, and have a well-qualified co-sponsor lined up, you could always bring their papers, but not hand them in unless the CO says something.

You should be fine because the consular officer looks at current sustained income. In your case, it's a very good idea to submit current paycheck stubs, an employer's letter, and current bank statements to prove your fiance's current sustained income.

However, if I were in your shoes, I would also have your joint sponsor's documents available to submit...just in case.

Also, I recommend that your fiancé attend your interview with you.
