221G White slip

[raj127 22]

Hi,

At the time of interview I have submitted I-864 form filled by my wife to the CO,however I recieved a 221g letter,asking for my marriage certificate,So I recently sent the original marriage certificate and my passport to the mumbai consulate and again I have recieved a 221g white slip asking for PCC ,Medical and A JOINT SPONSER..

Earlier I submitted I-864 form without tax returns (submitted,pay stubs,employment letter and explanation letter why she dint file taxes)

I got the PCC and Medical.

I-864 form signed by my wife along with the 2012 tax returns and W2 .

Her income is well above the 125% of poverty guidelines.

Do I still need a joint sponser?

Please suggest me what should I do.

Thank you.

HELLO RAJU,

if ur wife is NOT CURRENTLY employed while filing the AOS then u will have to get a joint sponser NOMATTR EVN IF SHE IS WELL ABOVE POVERTY LINE BY LAST YRS TAX INFO.

i have ma intrvw coming up next week..and even i have been asked to carry i-864 to the intrvw as there wr some incomplete infos and docs.

We had to get a joint sponser cos ma husband wasnt employed while we were filing the AOS at NVC but right now he is.

i have kept all the docs ready for the intrvw...as i do not know wat they might ask me.

WHAT ALL DOCS DO U THINK I SHLD CARRY?AM pretty nervous now aftr reading urs.

y is dat they asked u to submit PCC and medical & marr certif? didnt u submit PCC at the NVC or take it to the intrvw? and didnt u take medical report with u?

doesnt the APPOINTMENT LETTR(email) frm NVC SAYS ABT THE DOCS U R SUPPOSED TO CARRY to the intrvw?

[raj127 22]

my wife is still employed and earning enough money to full fill the I-864 form requirements.

My Visa application is 2 years old,PCC (valid for 12 months from the date of issue) and Medical (valid for 6 months)

As both got expired they asked me to resubmit the docs ,

Earlier when I was interviewed ,my wife started working for the first time so she could not submit the tax papers,however we submitted the (submitted,pay stubs,employment letter and explanation letter why she dint file taxes)

My question is as she is working for the past 18 months to till date ,she has all the papers required including the tax returns ,will the consulate accept I-864 from my wife along with the supporting documents including tax returns of 2012,instead of a Joint-=Sponser?

Appointment letter gives the complete list of docs which you need to carry to the interview.

In my case the docs expired so they are asking for the docs again.(pcc and medical)

Marriage certificate .I did not carry it with me to the interview,so they asked me to submit .

Here is the list of documents which I carried to the interview.

Originals and photocopies.

Birth certificate.

Marriage certificate.

PCC

Medical Report.

I-864 along with the supporting documents

Passport

Pictures

wedding card

proof of relationship(cards,pics,letters,cell phone detailed statement)

Questions which the consular asked are very simple,

how did you guys meet?

Love marriage or arranged marriage.

Marriage date,date of birth of my wife.

Date when did we meet for the first time.

how did you know your wife?

My question is as she is working for the past 18 months to till date ,she has all the papers required including the tax returns ,will the consulate accept I-864 from my wife along with the supporting documents including tax returns of 2012,instead of a Joint-=Sponser?

Your wife should first contact the Consulate and see if they will accept an updated I-864 with this financial documentation in lieu of a joint sponsor.

Even with this, the Consulate still has the discretion to demand a joint sponsor so your wife should arrange for one as a backup in the even it is needed.

YES I TOO WLD SUGGEST U TO CONTACT THE consulate andd clarify ur doubt. But i personally think tht they would accept without a jt sponser according to the details u have given.

I would suggest the opposite -- the Consulate has made it clear what they want/need to see in order to approve the visa. The longer it takes for you to submit it, the longer you wait for the visa to be issued. If you can fairly easily get a joint sponsor, I would do so and end it. Thye may, for example, be concerned that since the last time you and your wife were together she didn't work, perhaps she will stop working once you are together again.
