My mother would like to be the co sponsor for the affidavit of support, but she didn't make enough last year due to the fact she was unemployed for six months last year. This year she has a permanent position and makes enough to be the co sponsor, claiming only two dependents, plus my fiance. Will they accept this or is it too risky to have her as a co sponsor? Are there any stories out there with a similar situation: co sponsor didn't make enough last year but made enough the following year and still got the visa?

Thanks!

Current income is key, as long as she can demonstrate her current earnings as the correct amount you should be fine.

as long as she is making enough money now, she should be fine as cosponsor, make sure she gets an employment letter stating how much money she makes now.

Is this 100% certain? I'm bumping the topic to see if others were approved under similar circumstances.

Yes it is. If your mother's current income is sufficient, it will be accepted. I have been through the consulate in Colombia before (previous K-1), and had no issue.

Ok, thank you. So, I should send in her 1040 from last year even if it shows insufficient income?

It would be best to get a letter from her current employer, for an example see the example forms section in the guides.

Current income is key.
