Will we get denied, please help

[meggy91224 1]

My fiance and I are in a bind. Our financial situation is not good. I am a college student about to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in May and finding a full time job will be very hard to do. I could work a few years in fast food and hope I am good enough to get a manager position at full time but I really don't want to wait so long for us to be together. Everything else in our application looks great. My dad refuses to sign the affadavit of support as a cosponsor. My uncle might sign and I have a friend who will sign for sure. But I don't think that a friend looks that great?

So here is my problem. If I cannot find a full time job, I will be enrolled in a Master's program where I can take out loans for living expenses, as my tuition will be free because I did well in my undergraduate studies. With these loans I will have more than enough money to support my fiance and I but it just doesnt show that on paper, as I will not have a full time job to show for. I will only have a cosponsor as a friend. My fiance is in Egypt by the way.

What are the chances for our denial and what can I do? I don't want to wait my life away getting a master, finding a job and after 10 years finally being with my husband.

Your income needs to meet the established poverty guidelines. If it does not, then you will need a co-sponsor who agrees to sign and accept financial responsibility.

Whether its a friend or a member of family - doesn't matter. Only requirement it's either citizen or resident and enough income.

Can they deny if I meet this requirement and everything else in our application is okay?

The embassy can deny for any reason they see fit.

If you have a co-sponsor, and if that embassy accepts co-sponsors, and everything else goes well in the interview, there *should* be no denial.

What I would worry about is the long AP times in Egypt. That's the more likely scenario that's going to delay the visa.

OP, I noticed in your post, you say fiance & husband. Which is it?

You can't qualify on loans. Loans are not income. If you have a friend that will sign by all means go for it. It's a I-134 and not binding anyway. It's when you file your AOS (Adjustment of Status) after you marry you will need someone to meet the guidelines and they will be committed for 10 years, or 40 quarters of work or until they become a citizen.

Cant he self sponsor?

Not many embassies allow self sponsoring as far as I know.

Even if Egypt did, there's no indication in his post what his fiancee does for work or if she'd meet the requirements.
