Holding a joint sponsor for interview

[kg8183 1]

Hello

it appears that one can hold on to an AOS package from a joint sponsor and present it to a CO during the interview if required. However, could doing this potentially:

1) Delay the process of issuing a visa (i.e. case going into AP, more time needed to review the additional AOS package, etc.)?

2) Be frowned upon by the CO (i.e hiding things, etc.)?

My husband prefers that my parents do not sponsor (with me of course) his immigration, but is willing show the joint sponsorship during the interview if required. However, if we believe that the 2 raised points (or others) may become an issue during the process, we will send the second AOS package (joint sponsor's) together with mine to the NVC.

thank you beforehand.

Bump! Sorry but need to decide ASAP.

Hi,

From what I have seen and talked to people you have valid 2 points. First of all, most likely the CO will need additional time to review the newly admitted AOS. It will not be ground for denial in itself, however they will take additional time to review it since they need to verify the info you put into AOS. In Armenia that additional time might take weeks, even more than month. If you search the forum, there was a couple who simply needed to update the sponsor's address and Armenian consulate took almost a month to issue the visa since they were checking things up. One thing for sure, you will lose some valuable time.

I would just send the AOS from joint sponsor to NVC. Remember, your husband will be able ton apply for citizenship in 3 years after he gets his GC, so your parents will not be liable for a long time, but you will be safer for the embassy.

Hope this helps,

Good luck
