Can't find a co-sponsor, what now?

[David & Diana R 1,005]

You have to provide it because the form asks.

But the determination of whether an affidavit is sufficient does not depend on those tax returns. It depends only on current income, which is a separate question on the form. If you read the instructions, you prove current income by pay stubs and/or employer letter.

If you didn't work in the past and now have enough income, then you qualify. Conversely, if you had tons of income in the past, but stopped working recently, you have no income and do not qualify.

Thanks, you learn something new every day. Sure seems like they make us jump through many hoops even when it is not necessary and yet we have millions of illegals here that are to be given amnesty?? It really stinks sometimes. I am just so grateful that I got my wife here when I did because it appears it is taking longer and longer. Thanks for the info.

Same problem with spouse visa. You have to prove that you can support her or have a co-sponsor. As far as I know there is no way around that. But then again would it be wise to bring him/her here if you cannot afford to eat and have a roof over your heads? They will most likely ask for a co-sponsor. If you cannot provide that the case will just be denied and/or closed. I suppose when they ask for a sponsor you should then inform them that you do not have one. Good luck.

Well the topic title says it all.

We can't find a co-sponsor.

What are our options now?

You are so lucky that you have been requested a new sponsor..

Some country won't even allow co-sponsor for k1.

Find best friends, uncle, grandma, find a way....

Hi.

2 ideas.. First of all, how much time do you have to find a cosponsor?

Can't your husband just desperately look for a job now? If he finds one and can provide his first pay stub (and possibly a letter from a boss), that might be sufficient (Not sure if it will be, but it might, I would check with more experienced members here on the forums as to if that would be sufficient or not). He could take any job that's good enough.

Secondly, you said:

Then we did find someone, all was set but last minute he decided not to do it.

Perhaps this is still your best shot.. How about getting your fiance to call this person and saying "They've told my fiance that she cannot move here if we can't find a co-sponsor... we will not be able to get married Please reconsider your decision not to be a cosponsor... I'll make you the best man in our wedding!" Maybe when he realizes what is on the line, and your fiance begs him, he will have a change of heart and decide to go for it afterall!

If he doesnt.. Maybe ask your fiance's mom to ask her friends.. She can tell them "My boy's fiance has gotten everything done, but the government wants a cosponsor.. she will not be able to move here and get married to my son unless we have one".. And maybe one of her friends will step up!

Don't lose hope! I hope this works out for you. Praying for a miraculous Co-sponsor to appear!

Remember the I 134 is not enforceable, it is the I 864 which is.

Getting a job may be the simplest solution.

On October 24th they told me that we need another sponsor.

They said we have until November 24th for that.

Actually only until November 21st, because they are only open on Thursdays.

So yea, little under a month time..

And then the guy that was going to sponsor & now doesn't want to anymore, well he kept us hanging from October 25th until yesterday. So we already lost about a week.

But my fiance has a job. He works for radio since 2006, and has never steady hours. Sometimes he needs to be there an extra day, sometimes a show get cancelled and he loses a few hours, etc.

He has been checking for a second job, but it is hard because of no steady hours with the current one.

This is try for all embassies or all CO's. many have been denied for having current income above but previous below. Remember you are showing an employment earning history and if it looks shaky they can and will deny.

OP I would do as suggested tell husband to get employment letter together and also write letter of explanation of why he didn't earn what he usually does. If he is still at job the earning is there and he has a good verified reason.

Try getting that to the embassy CO and see if maybe they will reconsider you.

Also check around your forum about your embassy and how they weight on K1's and past and current income. Get a better feel how things are for your country.

Good luck.

Even if you do not have enough income at the interview, they will give you time to find a sponsor or prove higher income, so you do have a chance to either get records of current income/second job or find a sponsor.

I am self-employed, so they wanted us to get a co-sponsor and we turned in the papers a few weeks after the interview and we got the visa no problems.

Personally I would call and ask if you could supply the embassy with 2013 tax returns.. since I know the back story.. because we have talked.. ask for some time to gather that.. you said that it was a one time loss in 2012.. so if you can show current income that is more... then you should be able to come. Just a suggestion.. instead of some random Millionaire...

Hey again!

Hmm I could ask my mother in law to gather that. Not sure if she already has it done since she's been working an awefull lot lately.

But there's an update! John asked a co-worker, on Friday; if he could sponsor. He said he'd check the paperwork and will let John know when he comes into work for their show together on Monday evening. So it's been a loooong weekend, I hope to get a positive reply though since this guy is really the LAST hope.

I'll update you about this when I know more.
