hi, im new to this so bare with me, i have just filed a k1 visa for my fiance in the philippines, first of all when i hired my attorney he told me that manila would accept a co-sponor for a k1, and that he has done it in the past! But the thing is i make enough money for the poverty guidelines, but!!!!! in 2004, i made $36,000, but in 2005 i was hurt and did not work, in 2006, i applied for chapter 31 , its a program for veterans with a disability, i have %30 from the military. I'm a full time student studying radiology, and when i finish school in the next couple of years i will be making big money! but as from feb o6, i receive $400 for disability a month plus, im a contract worker at the veterans hospital(as long as im in school) it pays me $750 a month for the next three years, plus i recieve a allowance for living which is $850 a month for the next three year. i have documents and letter from the veteran dept. to prove this, but!! all this money is tax free! so i didnt have to file for 2006, all together i made $20,000 dollars which i can prove from my direct deposits in my bank account, im wondering from the people out there who know manila's habits if they would count this income, my attorney thinks they will, and plus i have a co - sponsor from my boss , and sister , please help me if you can!!!!! ps all this income is part of the chapter 31 program , and its for three years left, my disability check is from fighting for my country and being wounded in action, and i will recieve this for life!

You have to prove that you make 125% of poverty level, Click Here to See the 2007 Health and Human Services Poverty Level, if you don't meet that requirement then you would either have to have enough in the bank already to support your fiancee while she is in the USA or have a co-sponsor. (I know absolutely nothing about co-sponsors)

A guy I know here in Illinois was barely making the required income and his parents didn't want to be responsible for sponsoring his fiancee in an ongoing manner so here is what they did for him .. right or wrong, you be the judge .. whether it is what did the trick or not I haven't a clue.

One of the options that you have for proving support is a statement from an officer at the bank where you have accounts. They simply write a statement on letter head of how long you have an account at the bank, how much you have deposited into that account in the past 12 months, and your current balance in that account. The petitioners parents called the bank and had $20,000 transferred out of their savings into his account in the morning. In the afternoon he went to the bank and got the letter written up like it was supposed to be according to the instructions on for I-134. He went home and called the bank to have the money transferred back into his parents account.

Keep in mind that you do not need this information until interview time and you don't want this information more than a couple of months old I have been told.

The following statement is only my opinion; I believe that if someone wants to bring a fiancee to the USA then they should have to be able to support them on their own, however, after considering your extenuating circumstances I thought I would share this story with you.
