AOS

[mrs.jayb 0]

We are about to start the Affidavit of Support paperwork. But I wanted to know, will the NVC let me know if my income alone is not enough?

We are a household of 3 and I make more then the %125 poverty guideline. However, I have only had this income for 6 months. Before I was living with my husband abroad and I was a student. But I can't seem to find anyone to be a joint sponsor. I make over $35,000 a year (gross) and I can prove it with a letter from employer and pay stubs. Someone suggested a copy of my diploma from my university. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

The odds are good with a strong letter, but I don't know your consulate, and sometimes a consulate might require a joint sponsor when you have been employed a short time, even with a good salary and a strong letter.

If the NVC approves the Sponsor, the AOS could still be turned down by consulate?

If I get a joint sponsor will they be held to the same standards as the primary sponsor?

Earning $35K annually ought to be fine. Six months is a reasonable length of time.

NVC doesn't approve anything--they just make a preliminary review and all final reviews are done at the consulate, and yes, a joint sponsor is held to the same standards.
