Hey!

We are preparing for k1 visa documents. and we want to make sure all are correct and less mistake. We want to ask if the US Bangkok embassy can allow me to use joint sponsor( his stepdad) because my fiance is currently studying as a university student.

Thanks in advance!

I have heard many times bkk does not allow joint sponsors...

They accepted it in my case but it was mainly because I was living overseas for a few years and they needed someone actually living in the USA to be a sponsor.

Thanks for your reply! That's my case I'm living overseas. I'm from Philippines but I'm working in Thailand for almost 3 years.
