I been together with my now fiancé for over 3 years, going on 4, long story short i'm looking to file for K-1 Visa in order to bring her for marriage. Now my problem is i've been disabled since birth (unable to work) i'm scared that I will be automatically denied for that, is there something I can do, what should I expect? Should I even file? What do you guys recommend here? Do I have to find a co-sponsor because of my disabilities? Thanks in advance

There are 2 issues with this consulate. 1. They do not usually accept co sponsors in these circumstances 2. Needs to demonstrate it is a not a care giver being brought in.

You won't get an answer to the question of will they accept your joint sponsor at the Manila Embassy. Embassies are not required to accept co-sponsors on K-1 visas. It is totally within their discreti

With all due respect how would you support a wife if you are only earing 700 dollars a month disability income? You are aware that if you brought her in on a fiance visa she would not be allowed to w

You disability won't be an issue. It won't show up in your application at all (unless you can see it in the pictures that you might be sending in). But since you don't have an income, you will need a cosponsor to fill in the affidavit of support for your fiance.

Thank you, how did you find the process? Was it easy? did you find help through a agency or did you do it solo and help of the forums?

Disability is not a problem.

Failing to meet the financial requirements of the Affidavit of Support will be a problem. You need a Joint Sponsor who does meet the financial requirements.

Read the Instructions for Forms I-134 and I-864. The I-864 is not part of the K-1 process but you will need to meet it to get a green card for your wife after marriage on the K-1.

Co-sponsor it is, thanks guys, any advice for me when filing? Any guidelines that I can follow? I'm just a bit nervous doing this whole thing and I won't and don't want to mess it up.

Thank you, how did you find the process? Was it easy? did you find help through a agency or did you do it solo and help of the forums?

We did it solo. Our case is super straightforward. Having been approved, the process was straightforward and easy. But of course, the waiting causes a lot of anxiety.

We used the forums A LOT. Just read read read all the guides, absorb all the language, and read all the questions on this forum. It's really not that hard, it's just collecting documents here and there. Your case sounds very straightforward as well, you just need to find a cosponsor by the time your fiance has their interview.

I feel confident about being able to put it all together, thank you very much for the vote of confidence, i'll keep everyone updated and will be back if I have any more concerns or just feel the need to vent :)

I wouldn't be concerned about being disabled or receiving disability payments. Honestly that shouldn't even come up in the process. My husband was receiving disability for 2 years because of his dialysis. They cut him off because of a successful kidney transplant. We had started the process 2 months before his disability was discontinued and it caused no issues with us. We didn't have to report anything about it.

Welcome to VJ and good luck with your journey!
