Visa Interview Disaster!

[amazngrace 3]

when time for our AOS came I made eneough current income but was lacking in past so to be safe we chose to have a co-sponsor. He is my father and works for the union so is laid off in off seasons when weather dosent permit his work and earns unemployement and such. Everything went through and AOS was processed. Dosen't that mean that our AOS was good and approved? If not would we have been notified if otherwise long before the visa interview? I ask this because one of the many issues the officer had at our visa interview was the fact that our co-sponsor cant rely on unemployement so much through the year? Is this just something else to tear us down? maybe she is having a bad day?

Just because your AOS went through NVC without a problem doesn't mean that it will be ok at interview. The NVC basically just processes the paperwork and makes sure everything is there. It is ultimately up to the CO if income is sufficient.

Similar thing happened to another VJ member I know - all AOS paperwork went through the NVC with no problems, but the CO at interview told them that their income was insufficient and they needed a co-sponsor.

Hope you can get everything sorted out.

So after they are finished reviewing our case will they tell us the errors they found one at a time or will they somehow gives us a list of things to correct?

NVC will reject an affidavit of support that is clearly insufficient but it is the Consular Officer who makes the ultimate decision on the public charge concern.

I would think so. In the case I was referring to I believe their income was around $500 short of the requirements for their household.

OP - so what happened at the interview?

You say that the CO was not happy about your co-sponsor's reliance on unemployment - but did they deny you based on that?

no we are not denied were are in AP, you can find all the details in my previous post. she gave hm many reason she wasnt satisfied with our case to give us an immediate approval, also she believes are marriage is a fraud

I don't think she was having a bad day, she was doing her job. I also believe she was not satified with your case. Perhaps you should try to rectify the many reasons she gave him.

I Hope things work out for you soon....

This thread makes me concerned.

I graduated in 2009 from College, then got a job in October of 2010 - My question is, if my tax records before I got my job showed that I made VERY little money, if any (even though I now make more than 48k) will this come up in an interview as me not making sufficient money to support my wife?

This is almost never a problem when one has evidence they have made well over the minimum requirement for at least a few months. Current income is the most important.

Thanks for the reassurance Pushbrk.
