K1 visa interview RFEs (Referral for Evidence) (merged)

[sunshinelove 52]

A family friend was my co/joint sponsor for both the K1 and AOS process and I had no troubles at all. All that was asked was how I knew them. I also didn't make over $10,000 when my (now) wife came over and I'll admit it wasn't easy but we got through it and now have great jobs and are in a much better place. While being financially well off is a wonderful thing, don't let not being rich keep you from being with the one you love. Going through the financial hardship together was way better than being apart. That's just my personal experience though. Good luck!

Don't understand why some people are being judgmental. A person may not earn enough simply because he/she is just out of college, or it may be hard for him/her to find a job. Maybe the fiance is still in college and just working part-time? Everyone's situation is different.

 

Yes, it's fine if your friend is a co-sponsor ☺️

 

 

Because not making enough money or having a qualified joint sponsor can have a visa denied due to possible public charge. 

 

Generally speaking even in Oklahoma where minimum wage is the same as federal wage, he should be earning just over $15k per year working full time.  (It's current income, not w2 amounts that count most in countries like the UK.) 

In Oklahoma you can make a living wage by earning about $10.25 per hour, which is about 125% of the poverty guidelines.

Yes his friend can be joint sponsor, friend of mine did it and his fiancé got approved 

Does the foreign fiancee have to have met the fined co-sponsor? I have never met the man that my fiancee told me about having as our co-sponsor.

No you don’t need to know him.. your fiancé knows him that’s enough 

but at least just his name and what kinda job he does in case but you dont need to meet him

Does the co-sponsor have to be able to support the U.S. Citizen as a dependant too? 

Do I have to support evidence of why my fiancee hasn't filed taxes or are they just interested in what the co-sponsor can offer?

Are they going to have a predjudice against us because we met on a dating website?

Did you have to provide evidence of why you used a joint sponsor and why you didn't meet the income requirement? Did you have to provide your tax returns anyway?

 I didn't meet the requirements because I was in school full time and only had a part time job. They didn't ask about it to my knowledge, but I did include my transcripts to show full time enrollment. I also had all tax returns and other financial proof.
