case complete, but income does not meet poverty line

[peteranna 0]

So I was very happy yesterday because I called the NVC and they had told me case complete. I just now get an email that in fact it's complete but that the petitioner does not appear to meet the minimum poverty (which we know because he is self-employed declared 13000 current annual income, 29000 last year) They say that I could go with a co-sponsor, we don't have one. However, we have shown 157,000 US dollars in cash between my husband and I in a US bank account!!!!! which is more than enough!!!! I am panicking please help!!! They say the consular officer will make a decision at the time of the interview....this is the letter:

The NVC has received the information you have submitted in reference to

the Affidavit of Support. Please be advised that the Affidavit of Support

information you have provided does not appear to meet the minimum

income requirement according to the current poverty guidelines to sponsor

the intending immigrant(s) for this petition. The consular officer will make

a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. In

order to avoid delays, you may wish to submit an additional Affidavit of

Support (Form I-864) for a/another Joint Sponsor to the National Visa

Center to assist in sponsoring the intending immigrants,

So has anyone ever received this letter with lacking income but using assets to qualify????

any thoughts would be appreciated- worried sick!
