no co-sponsor, no employment, but enough savings and assets?

[Ja&Jo 1]

We just got our NOA2 and I'm starting to gather the documents for the interview.

I'm concerned about the I-134 affidavit of support form. We do not have anyone to be a co-sponsor.

For the past two years my fiance's income has been under the poverty level. This year he has been unemployed, but caretaking his mother who has cancer. She has been giving him monetary gifts throughout 2013 with value of $40,000.

He has ~$322,000 in retirement funds (10% penalty when taken out before 60yrs of age)

~ $ 213,000 in non-retirement

~ $ 50, 000 in regular saving account

I'm wondering if this will be sufficient for the interview, as he is not currently employed and will not be employed at the time of the interview (december).

Also, not sure how to fill out the form with all of separate savings and the monetary gifts from his mom.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, as i'm wondering if we did the right thing in applying for a K1.

Thanks

Hi, we aren't in the exact same situation but I can say that we were just approved for a K1 visa and the I-134 that I submitted included only assets and savings (no co-sponsor) as I am currently unemployed and living with my fiancé in Argentina. I think as long as your fiancé can prove support and has enough funds that you will be just fine!!

Good luck,

Perri

I should also add that I'm only 25 and was concerned that my age would make my means of support seem suspicious or something (since it comes from an inheritance and not my working in the past)... But it turns out I had nothing to worry about! Given that your fiancé has funds from retirement, I don't think you will have any problrms.

Thanks Perri! Did they ask you a reason for unemployment?
