I'm asking this for someone else,, i know it's here somewhere.

1. Can I file K1 without a job or income? Will this be a huge problem? Parents are willing to sign affidavit of support. Thank you everyone..

~~Moved to the Philippines forum, from K1 P&P - As the Philippines has a different view on cosponsors.~~

Manila seems supportive of parental cosponsors when it appears a young person has been a student and is headed in the direction of a career that should have rising income.

K-1 fiancee visa - The embassy might accept a qualified co-sponsor, no guarantees. You have a 50/50 chance of the co-sponsor being accepted. (parents as co-sponsor improve the odds)

IR/CR-1 spousal visa - The embassy has to accept a qualified co-sponsor.

I have dual citizenship (US and Philippines). Born here in philippines and naturalized as US citizen.

Even after naturalization I studied and even worked in philippines(haven't worked in US) so my income is not enough here to support my fiancee to live in US but my brother living in US said he's willing to be co-sponsor.

after reading a lot of about USEM manila not accepting co-sponsors I was concerned that they won't accept my brother as co-sponsor but I still collected all the required papers for my brothers i-134

on the day of our interview they didn't even look at our i-134 and the CO said we passed and just wait for my fiancee's passport and visa to be delivered.

I suggest go file your K1 you have your parents as co-sponsors anyway "IF" you need one

That is very true. Embassy, quite often, is not asking for the I-134 and support evidence. Still some get asked, so like said - be prepared.

You are all awesome, thanks for all the replys. Will update everyone or maybe get my brother to create his own profile here so you all can see his timeline.

The U.S. Embassy Manila surprisingly has not been asking K-1ers for their I-134. However, they can still do so. Be prepared to submit the cosponsor's documents. I would suggest that the cosponsor use an I-864 rather than an I-134.
