Question Regarding I-134

[K1Questioneer 0]

Hello, 

 

I am at the stage in the K1 visa process where I just received an email from the Nation Visa Center with my appointment location. Prior to filling out the DS-160 I need to complete form I-134, but that  is where I have a few questions.

 

I just recently graduated from college, so I don't have a job at the moment. I am currently living with my parents in a household that has a total of 6 people. I have some work experience + my tax returns from the last few years, but each of them are less than the amount needed to support me and my fiancée. I can get a job relatively quickly and borrow some money for an apartment so that when it comes time to fill out the I-134 form, I fall under the $22,000 minimum requirement to support me and my fiancée. My question is, is that the best way to go about it? Can I work at job and still fall under the $22,000 minimum requirement since I will be responsible for myself and my fiancée or will my parents have to co-sponsor since I am living with them? 

 

Thank you for taking the time to read/help!

You will need a qualified co sponsor.  Doesn't have to be your parents but certainly could be.

Will getting a co-sponsor be the better option given my situation? Thank you for taking the time to answer!
