Hello everyone! I am preparing to begin filing for a K-1 visa for my fiance in the UK. I am currently able to meet the financial requirements for this visa but have a recent period of unemployment. To be on the safe side I want to have a co-sponsor (joint sponsor?) because of this time period of unemployment. I have a friend who is a potential co-sponsor and I want to discuss this with him more thoroughly. From my understanding he would fill out a I-134, supply supporting evidence, and provide a letter from his employer about his salary. What exactly would his responsibility be? Thanks for your time.

Read the I-134 and the instructions for it, they detail what the responsibilities are for the person who signs it. It's a short-term commitment.

If you are still unemployed after you marry and are filing adjustment of status, you'll also need a joint-sponsor for the i-864. This is a much more serious commitment (longer term - again, read the small print on the form).

* I-130/CR-1 visa by Direct Consular Filing in London
3rd May 2013 - Married in London
7th May 2013 - I-130 filed
4th June 2013 - NOA2 (approved)
16th July 2013 - Interview (approved)
30th July 2013 - POE San Francisco
29th August 2013 - 2 year green card arrived

 

* How? Read my DCF London I-130 for CR1/IR1 Spouse Guide

* Removal of Conditions (RoC) via California Service Centre
1st May 2015 - 90 day RoC window opened
6th May 2015 - I-751 filed (delivered 8th May, cheque cashed 18th May)
7th August 2015 - Approved / GC production
27th August 2015 - 10 year green card arrived

* Naturalisation (Citizenship) via Phoenix Lockbox

* San Francisco Field Office:
1st May 2016 - N-400 window opened
20th August 2016 - N-400 filed
26th August 2016 - NOA1
13th September 2016 - Biometrics

Thank you for your suggestion. Would the I-134 form completed by our cosponsor basically expire after 90 days along with the fiance visa?
