co-sponsor questionssss

[spiderbonge 0]

i have been working for a year now.. the beginning of the year i was a part time employee then became a full time employee.. so my 2006 income tax return was an annual income of $14,000 something which is not enough based on the 2007 poverty guidelines...

1. from what i understand.. when filing for the K-1 visa, i would need to use the form I-134???? the form I-864 is for later for the adjustment of status???

2. the 2007 poverty guidelines says that its the basis for minimum income requirement for use in completing Form I-864, i can also use it as a basis for the I-134 right??

3. for my co-sponsor, do i need to show proof of relationship??? or it doensnt matter as long as the co-sponsor is a USC, resides in the US and is willing to take the responsibility of all his dependents?? can the co-sponsor be a friend??

4. if my co-sponsor is married and filed their taxes together (not separately), do i add up their annual income together and use that as the basis if they can support us?? or whoever signs signs the I-134's annual income only?? --- but how much would the consulate know how much my co-sponsor alone is making if they filed theyre taxes together??

5. my co-sponsors wife is pregnant... would the unborn baby be already counted as a dependent??

6. the same co-sponsor, well his wife petitioned her mother and her father from the philippines, would that matter??? or it wouldnt as long as they have enough money to support the co-sponsor himself + wife + unborn baby + wifes mother + wifes father + me and my fiance???

:help:

1. Generally, unless told otherwise by the embassy or consulate.

2. Yes but it is also up to the CO to make that determination. If your right on the border as far as support but live in a high cost of living area, the CO may decide that your fiancee is likely to become a public charge. While the I-864 has a hard requirement, the I-134 is up to the CO's discretion, but generally follows the poverty guidelines.

3. It doesn't matter who your co-sponsor is. Some embassies and consulates may not accept a co-sponsor for a visa application.

4. If your co-sponsor is married, you can use the combined income in the in the sponsor determination. But a married couple already counts as a household of 2.

5. Only after her child is born, but to be safe I would consider her child as a dependent as far as the I-134 is concerned.

6. If her parents are dependent they need to be included, but you don't need to be included.
