QUESTION
I live alone on a monthly stipend received from the Medical Institution I attend. The stipen is above poverty line. Is that enough for a K1 visa?

More details to this question:
I applied for a K1 visa for my fiance, but I'm in grad school living off a monthly stipend. Would I be denied without a permanent job? Would the stipend suffice the requirement? The stipend is above the poverty line.

OK So if the stipend is required to be paid back then it is not really income but it is debt, and therefore there would be problems with showing that that would likely to be a recurring stable source of income in the future. Thus, it would most likely be that USCIS would require a joint sponsor.
