ITALY (NAPLES)-- Co-Sponsor for K1

[lilit829 368]

Hello everyone, 

I was wondering if anyone had any recent experiences using co-sponsors in the Naples Consulate. From post I've read here, the CO denied visas because of income requirements even though they had co-sponsors that qualified. I'm particularly worried because I'm a senior in college who will graduate this June but will have to wait 6 months before starting school again for my master's, that's another year before I have a (guaranteed) job. My parents (whom we will be living with) will co-sponsor and they make way over the required income for a 5 person household. However, I am deathly scared after reading these threads from people in similar positions but since they are so old I wonder if the experience/tendency has changed. Thank you for any information!

I recently went to Naples for the interview and I used the co-sponsor with no problem. My case is different because my fiancee have a job but the income wasn't enough and the tax return was really low in 2016 so they actually asked me if I had a joint sponsor and luckily I had his father that he help us with this problem. I don't know where you read that Naples denied co-sponsor but I had no problem at all. I guess it depends, every case is different. You can try to send an e mail to the embassy, when I had some issue they answered me pretty quickly.
