Co-sponsor required?

[BrittSlav 7]

So my fiance makes just over the 125% for 2 people for the financial support requirements. Its like $20k and he made $21 last year. 

I have a couple of questions about this as we are in the process of putting all the paperwork together.

1. He lives at home with his parents but isn't financially responsible for anyone in the house but himself and myself when I finally get to go there, so does he have to meet the requirements for 2 or 4 people?
2. If he only has to meet the requirements for 2 people, his mother is willing to put herself down as a co-sponsor but is it needed? Or would we be smarter not including her or do we include her and then consider the requirement we must meet to be 4 people (him, her, his dad and myself). She doubles the requirement for 4 people on her own income so that isn't an issue, I am just wondering if we need to use her at all.

If you use her and they don't need it they'll just disregard it. It can't really hurt things, so if you can use a cosponsor by all means do it. 

 

It's only people he's supporting he doesn't support his parents so they don't count. Just 2 people.
