I am a full time student with a non-paying internship right now. I am about to file
my 129-F soon with my I-134 and I'm wondering how this will effect my chances of
having my Petition approved. I obviously have no income at the current time, but I
have numerous people that are willing to co-sponsor me that have excellent income
and assets.

Any thoughts/suggestions/advice?

Thank you in advance

Jason

Use a co-sponsor, and if this is your only problem you'll be fine.

As long as you have a co-sponsor, you should be ok. Alvena

Thoughts? It will not affect your chances, as long as you have a qualified
joint-sponsor who meets the income requirements. (They must meet the qualifications
for their family members PLUS the immigrating fiancé. So a family of 4 would need to
meet 125% above poverty level requirements for 5 people.) Without a joint sponsor,
you will NOT get the visa. Period.

Advice? Make sure that your joint sponsors know they are on the hook 3 years for the
I-134 and for the I-864 until one of the following happens: the immigrant can be
credited with 40 quarters of work as reported to IRS/SSA, or they die, or they become
a US citizen. Divorce does not negate the agreement. That said, make sure that they
know that they are only going to be held accountable for CERTAIN TYPES of government
aid that the immigrant may take. If they agree not to ever take any public aid that
qualifies, then there is nothing whatsoever for the joint sponsor to worry about.
(Besides the fact that most types of aid are acceptable and they most likely won't
qualify for the types that are unsuccessful. Especially if male)

Suggestions? Get a joint sponsor and make sure they know about the responsibilities
they have so they don't get scared away later, leaving you in a lurch.
