More details to this question:
K1 Fiancé Visa Hello, I have a question. I petitioned for my fiancé from Ethiopia with the USCIS about 2 months ago and the USCIS approved our case and they have forwarded our case to the NVC. Now I believe that everything will be ok and approved except the income part, I am and have been a student since Nov of 2013 and have only been working part-time since. My income will not meet the "Poverty Guideline Requirements", however I have found a friend of mine who has a bit of high income and willing to become a sponsor for us. What are the problems/issues we might run into during the NVC process?

The NVC does not process K-1 fiancé visas. The processing is in the province of the American consulate or embassy in the home country that handles immigrant visa processing. Your fiancé will be given a checklist by the consulate or embassy stating what documents are required of which financial support is one. The main issue with most fiancé petition cases is establishing to the American consulate or embassy the bona fides of the relationship. So I would suggest that your fiancée bring as much proof as possible to interview of the constant communications between both of you including photos, emails, letters and other types of correspondence, telephone bills, etc. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
