Are we too poor so we need co-sponsor?

[desert 0]

I have a question. My Fiancé (USC) just arrived in US from my home country and now he has part time permanent job (about $900 per months) plus another job where he works as a substitute employee via Temp Agency (between $1200 and $1700 per months). He has all these type of jobs while he is applying for normal permanent job as a teacher. So it means he has about $28000 per year, but as he works for Temp Agency, this Agency can give him a letter saying that they can confirm employment of him, but can’t confirm his salary as he does temp job what means he can work for 4 weeks per month, and next month he can have no job. That’ s why we are thinking to get his mother as a co-sponsor. But may be he can be sponsor by him self even working for temp agency and having permanent part time job. What do you think?

Hmm, I don't know. Knowledgeable VJers would help you on this. But I think this might help ?

If it's not too much of a pain in the butt, I would ask his mom to co-sponsor. It's not that your fiance doesn't make enough money, it's just that the embassy will be concerned that it's not permanent employment. I recently asked a similar type of question about taking a contract-to-hire job: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;#entry836944

Good luck with everything!

I agree .. your fiancee seems to be willing to work to support you, as long as that is the case I would seek out a co-sponsor.

Good Luck
