Haha,no worries!

Ae you the only sponsor or do you have a co?

If you are the only one and you qualify I don't think you need to confuss the Embassy with a new 864. We all know how easily confused these people are,haha!

That's what Mr. Sachinky did. He crosses the threshold easily with two jobs and so he sent me a new I-864 with all the supporting documentation. I submitted that to VFS last week. Hoping that the joint sponsor becomes irrelevant in light of this new information.

exactly!! But.. I havent mailed him anything, because I am flying there to attend the interview.. atleast be the nonverbal cheerleader behind the bleachers :thumbs:

The first I-864 that I sent in had 2 sponsors... At that time I was only a mere $1,000 over to qualify by myself, so I got my father to sponsor him also so that there wouldnt be any gliches.... But now... this second job I took on puts me about $17,000 over... so I dont think I would need a cosponsor... Lets see... I am planning on having it all ready and collecting paychecks up until I depart to make it as current as possible.. Amit will submit it at the time of interview if they will allow, or if the first AOS wont go through for some odd reason..

I was reading in another thread... and something just crossed my mind that I hadnt even thought of...

What are you planning on wearing at the interview? Do you think it matters? My hubby has 2 looks... jean and t-shirt <ya know, the kind with logo> or typical indian wear....

You think he should wear american dress causual.. I think I could have a panick attack... He is going to hate this.. but..

maybe he could get away with wearing Khaki pants, polo shirt and some loafers... <sigh>

Yeh, no tie necessary, just a nice pair of slacks and a button front shirt. Dockers and a button up shortsleeve maybe?? I'd say definitely no jeans or t-shirts.
