if his daughter turns 19, and she has a mental handicap from herself, and has epilepsy i know she can never live on her own, drive a car, work or it has to be at a social workplace, and can not do what others her age do, will that mean she will get her own ssdi? or will she get a ssi? And does that mean it will always be taken out of his income? Say he needs to pay a couple of years more then the 19 years, will his payments stop? And that she will get her own money? I know that when she turns 19 hat we can count our household as 2 instead of 3

Waiting for the child to turn 19 may not be a factor here at all!!

It shouldn't matter if she gets SSDI or SSI. My daughter is disabled and since she's under 18, she gets SSI. On the SSI paperwork, it says the SSI is awared due to DISABILITY. She still receives child support from her father and the social security office has record of the child support that is paid every month.

His daughter SHOULD be on SSI now if her disability is so severe. The income his daughter gets is due to her disability and is completely seperate from her father paying support for a child he created.

With that said, if he ALWAYS has to pay child support, it's because it's expected that she will ALWAYS be disabled and may not be able to live on her own, in which both parents will still have to support her. The government will still give SSDI as long as she applys for it, it will take in any other financial support into consideration when calculating how much she gets, but the government will not refuse her SSDI because she gets support from else where. It's not a case of "Child support" or "SSDI" take your pick.

I do believe someone earlier said that in most cases the government does NOT want to pay SSDI, but again, SSDI is based on how much the person gets income wise. As someone that's disabled, her only technical income will be so low that she will most likely still easily qualify for SSDI.

Either way, her getting SSDI in the future isn't really either of your fiances or your concerns as it should have absolutely no affect on your fiances financial status. Again, she most likely recieves SSI anyways already.

And honestly, I don't know how disabled he is, but he knows his financial situation the best and if this is something he wants to do, then he should be looking this up too.

Also, the I-134 is used for K1 visas. While on paper it says they consider 100% the poverty line, MOST consulates look at 125% of the poverty line because it's a Nonimmigrant visa with INTENT to immigrate. They know you'll have to meet the 125% at the next step in your immigration process.

The I-864 is used after you get married and file for adjustment of status, this is the one that gets you your green card and work permit.

Like I said before, if you go the K1 route, you have to prove to someone TWICE that he can support you. Once at the K1 interview, and again at the AOS interview.

Again, just to reiterate, I believe that you need to get your fiance to read up on all of this and understand all of this. It's him that will file to get you to come here, it's him that has to provide financial info.

You're banking on the idea that you can save up 30,000$ to show them savings and just hoping they'll take it into consideration and they very well could not.

I think your fiance needs to be involved in all of this. You're trying to scrape up any bit of possible money you possibly can and seem to have a hard time understanding all of the info being thrown at you. Your fiance knows his financial situation, he needs to see what is all involved in this.

With all of that said, you at least need to find out how long your fiance has to support his disabled daughter based on the laws of his state. Then, you need to wait a couple of years and see what your financial state is then and if this is even doable.

My uncle died and he left me money. And also you do not know how long i have been without work. Or what kind of lifestyle i have.

He didn't mean it in a evil way so don't get angry. This is a very expensive process so he is just concerned of how you guys will afford this.

After marriage you will have to AOS which is a $1,070 maybe more depending if you need new medical and stuff. You can't work so for a while so you don't have an income. and there will be ROC also after 2 years and so on

Hi Everybody,

Who can help me. I have been reading for over a year, tried to find solutions for me and my american fiancee to be together. And we can't. I need as much help as i can. This is my question:

I am from Holland and my fiancee is american. He has a ssdi income, he is disabled, and he does not meet the minimum financial requirement to get me to America. He makes around 14,000$ per year on income. We do not have anybody who can sponsor us. Or they do not want to, and the ones who want to do not have enough income or got laid off. What else can we do? We also have no assets or anything we can turn into money. I am looking for a solution, i want to marry my fiancee and stay with him forever. My brain is getting empty by all the dissapointment. Who can and wants to help me? And another question, what is the difference between a co-sponsor and a joint sponsor?

You really need to get your story straight!

A CO cannot waive the income requirements and any attempts to engage in 'creative bookkeeping' will fail...the rules for meeting the requirements are printed just about everywhere...there are no exceptions to the requirements...

changing stories every day won't help either...first you have no money, then you suddenly have some unknown sum that 'might' be enough...but understand that sum needs to be about 5 times what's lacking....at least....and a CO's job is to protect the economic interests of American taxpayers first....if the CO believes that the finances are thin at best, they can and will require a co-sponsor, no matter what you think they 'should do.'

If he needs to show, say $25,000 and is receiving barely $20,000, somebody needs to have at least $25,000 on hand in a liquid or near liquid form...not promises.

One of the questions a good CO will be asking him or herself is who will pay for your care should you get ill or injured while in the US? $25,000 would disappear in seconds if something serious were to happen to you (illness or injury) - which is why a co-sponsor is often required.....because it is that person who will get the bill....and few people will sign off on such an agreement casually. Would you?

Sounds like moving to the Netherlands is a better option.

If you read my story well

tonyb919 and Transborderwife then i never said that i didn't have money! I said we did not have the money to get that 30,000 (that was if they wanted 5 times, and if it is 3 it is 17,000+) ro use to qualify. I never said i did no have money or savings, but not that amount as it is if we have to show 3 times. Nothing wrong with my story, you can read it all back.


I have calculated what i need in exspenses and i calculated it more then what i need, just to have a buffer. Thank you Georgia
