221 g for Evidence of Current Sustained Income and Joint Sponsor

[sarah&randy 0]

Hi! i just wanna share my experience from my interview last Sept 4, 2013 at USEM. I got a 221 g that requires me to provide them with 1. Evidence of Current Sustained Income from the Petitioner and 2.) Find a qualified Joint sponsor.

Let me explain our situation better. My husband just started working with his job of 17 years last June 2013. He got laid off 4 years ago in 2009 due to recession. So he was unemployed for almost 4 years. But now his back with them and is making $20.00 per hour/ $41,600 per annum. We provided the embassy with his certificate of employment, offer letter that both states his current income and that he's a regular employee, along with these are his pay stubs since June. My husband did not file for an income tax in 2012 since he didn't make enough money. His tax adviser told him not to file for an income tax that year and I had my husband made a letter explaining why he didn't file. I've given this letter to the pre screener during the interview. And also my husband visited me 3 times last year here in the Philippines and he used his own savings for the trips.

My question is that what other evidence of sustained income are they asking from us? Why is his income now of $20.00 per hour didn't qualify.

And about the Joint Sponsor, we had a joint sponsor when we applied for my visa cuz he was still unemployed last year. We had his sister as our co sponsor who's making $22,600 gross income, but this only comes from her pension (Social Security). She didn't qualify as well. So now they're asking as to look for a qualified sponsor...

Now we'll have my sister as our co sponsor. She'd been in the US for almost 11 years now and working as a full time LPN (licensed Practical Nurse) and she's making $20.50 per hour.. She's married to an american who's making $500 per month cuz he's only working part time. And they have 2 kids.

Does anyone here who can help me and tell me if they will qualify as joint sponsor? My sister gave me her past 3 years income tax returns. Both my sister and her husband income tax return for 2012 was $37,820 (total income). Then for the 2011 it was for $46,272 (total income). She filed for a leave from work back in 2011 for 2 months that's why her income for 2012 was a little lower. I hope this info will help...

I wanna ask if anyone here can help us figure out if they will qualify as co sponsor.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.... I'd realllly appreciate all the help.

Your sister won't qualify as she is already supporting a family of 4 now and if you add yourself then that would be 5. She'll fall below the poverty line.

You can just provide the 1040 and W2. Since the 1040 isn't available, I really don't know if he has a w2 that reflects his current income.

You should find somebody who can afford to add you to their family. I believe it can even be friends. That should satisfy things.
