False.

You can have a cosponsor.

No, you can have co-sponsors.

Hmm - it depends on the Embassy. Some embassies allow it, some do not. Some allow it in certain cases, and don't allow it in certain cases.

Keep in mind that the I-134, the affadavit of support required for a K-1 visa is NOT legally binding.

Read up on "9 FAM 40.41 N4.6-3 Use of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support Under INA 213A".

The simple submission of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, however, is

not sufficient to establish that the beneficiary is not likely to become a

public charge. Although the income requirements of Form I-864, Affidavit

of Support Under Section 213A of the Act, do not apply in such cases

(i.e., the 125 percent minimum income, the need for three years income

tax returns), you must make a thorough evaluation of other factors, such

as:

(1) The sponsor's motives in submitting the affidavit;

(2) The sponsor's relationship to the applicant, (e.g., relative by blood

or marriage, former employer or employee, schoolmates, or

business associates);

(3) The length of time the sponsor and applicant have known each

other;

(4) The sponsor's financial resources; and

(5) Other responsibilities of the sponsor.
