I am a us citizen that just graduated from medical school. I want to bring my fiance from nepal over here. Currently I have no just because I just graduated. My dads a doctor at cleveland clinic and my moms a lead software programmer so money is not a problem. My mom or my dad has agreed to sponsor my fiance with the I-134 form. Is that OK? or it must be ONLY me who is providing the affidavit for my fiance? I have no income so putting my name on the affidavit is point less my mom/dad was just going to sponsor her as a daughter in law. Any problems?
The possible challenge, if any, will be whether your fianc is likely to become a public charge. In addition, there will be other financial requirements upon marriage and filing for adjustment of status that may complicate matters. I recommend an appointment with our office. I have handled marriage visa cases for 18 years. However, I also appreciate that some prefer to overlook the complications built into the fianc and marriage visa petition process.
In order to bring your fiance to the U.S., you must first file and obtain approval of a I-129f visa petition from USCIS. If that is approved, the Department of State will require an Affidavit of Support from you. You can have your parents sign another Affidavit of Support as a co-sponsor.
For consular processing of a fiancé (K-1 visa), you can have someone help you sponsor your fiancé. It is not the same as with the I-864 Affidavit of Support where is a process of having joint sponsors but you can have your parents file an I-134 in addition to yours. It is discretionary so the Consulate doesn't have to approve it but generally being a medical school graduate appears you have earning potential that will keep your fiancé from being a public charge.
