Default DO we even need a CO-sponsor?

My fiancee (US) is still in college and we would like to get married and
then apply through DCF for a visa, the problem is sponsorship. She technicly
still lives with her parents (eventhough she has a dormroom where she spents
most of the time). The problem is that she does not make 125% of poverty, he
parents do though. DO we need to let them fill out a co-sponsor ship form or
can we just use their income as household income for my fiancee (on her
affadivit of support)?

Regards,
Roy

I was told you dont need a co-sponsor since you are doing the DCF

DCF or not, you still have to meet the sponsor requirements, or get a
cosponsor.

You will need a sponsor even though you are doing DCF. Her parents would be ideal if they are willing. I too am in the process of DCF and have had to get sponsorship from my father-in-law even though I will technically have a job on arrival.

Bottom line is the W2- if the income was in her name fine, if it's in her parents name then it's their income that's required, therefore their co-sponsorship is needed. You can't just state an amount without a paper trail showing whose income it is.
Good Luck

Yes, they would be co-sponsors and have to fill out the I-864A which is
their declaration that your sponsor (your fiancee) can use their income as
part of the total household income on her I-864. What you would not need is
a joint sponsor who is someone who fills out an I-864.

I know we need a co-sponsor, but the issue is can my fiancee use their
income as being (part of the household) or do they need to be totally
different co-sponsors.

Roy

Not unless she has a W2 to show that she is employed by her parents. There has to be a paper trail to show the source of HER income.
