Hello to everyone! My fiancé is currently a student right now. He resigned from his work to be a full time student. They are in California and he received minimum wage. His dad is willing to co-sponsor. I have came across some forums on the internet that says US Embassy Manila is not accepting joint sponsor. I hope you could enlighten us on this matter. Thank you! Godspeed.

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

NOT ACCEPTING is incorrect. USEM is not required to accept a qualified co-sponsor with the K-1 (unlike with the immigrant visa) so it is a bit of a gamble, but I do know of many that have done just that with the K-1 visa. Using a parent improves the odds of being accepted, I would also suggest writing a letter explaining you are a full time student.
