[HELP] Question about Sponsors

[ItsBobby 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm from Europe, my fiancee is from US and we want to live together so she wants to start the application process.

 

1. But what do we do about sponsorship and that affidavit of support? Neither of us are employed, we just finished college and want to start the life & work together in US.
2. My uncle is able to sponsor me but both me and my uncle are from Europe, not US. Is there any way I can apply for K1 visa without having USA-based sponsor and how much salary does my uncle need to have since all poverty guidelines I found are directed towards US citizens.
3. Also, since we're both unemployed do we need double sponsor or something?

 

 

Thank you in advance! Appreciate it!

One US based sponsor is required, no exception.

[Allaboutwaiting 2,503]

Any sponsor and joint sponsor must:

• Be U.S. citizen or national or a permanent resident
• Be at least 18 years of age
• Be domiciled (live) in the United States
• Meet all of the financial requirements of a sponsor pursuant to INA 213A.

If she has just finished collage, she could always get a job and sponsor you with the assistance of her parents... the petitioner has to sponsor you, if they don’t earn enough then a second US person can act as dual sponsor

Where are you living now? The K1 process will take at least 6 months to do. Are you going to stay unemployed for the entire time?

Well its gonna be hard to match poverty guidelines with European salary where I'm from, best salaries are like 1500$ monthly. But yeah it SUCKS that I actually need sponsor from US even though I have European relatives who can sponsor me :((((((((((((((

You still haven't stated where you are from... How much you make is irrelevant to the immigration process. I brought it up because getting a K1 visa will take a while PLUS when you actually enter on it, it will be another 6 months before you can work. So I am wondering what your plan is in the short term or were you expecting to be able to go to the US right away? If you were to file tomorrow the earliest you would be able to work  in the US would probably be Aug 2020!

Think about it. Why would the US accept a foreign sponsor... it makes no sense as they have no ability to enforce anything in another country

yeah that's not a problem really, I have savings with which I can live until I get Authorization for work, so I'm very well aware that I might need to wait some time before getting there and before working. I'm just disappointed about sponsor stuff, because my family has money but if US sponsor is required then it doesn't really mean much :(((

That's not how this works......I suggest you and your US fiance study the process.......guides are available on this very web site.....good luck.

I guess it makes sense... Lets say she finds a job, how long does it take until she can get proof of income in order to sponsor? As soon as she lands job?

I dont mean to be rude but $1500 a month is barely over the minimum wage in the US. You should really do some research on the cost of living in the US to make sure that you could actually afford the time you are not going to be working in the US.

I didnt say I was making 1500 only, I said that's what salaries are in my country, I have savings for life in US.
Please read my question above, thanks a lot!!!!

The CO wants to see stability in the income. As she most likely won't have filed tax returns indicating any income as she was a student your best bet is going to be a co sponsor. Just because she lands a job making the required amount doesn't mean that the CO will find her qualified to be a sponsor

 

Have you asked if her parents would co-sponsor?
