Our interview was December 13, 2013. We were given a 221g for a cosponsor because despite the fact my current income is over 125%, my income for 2012 was significantly lower due to still being a college student. After many failed attempts to collect information needed from an eligible cosponsor I emailed the embassy early February with my 2013 tax transcript attached asking if they would accept my 2013 income as proof that I meet the income guidelines per the I-864p to satisfy the requirements of the I-134 without a cosponsor. My fiancé got a call a few weeks later to drop off his passport and shortly thereafter our visa has been issued!!

I searched exhaustively to find whether you could be granted approval by submitting a new tax transcript after being denied at the interview for an insufficient tax transcript from the previous year and could not find someone who came back afterwards and confirmed approval. Hope this helps someone in the future!

A bit weird, current income is what counts.

It does appear that in most, if not all, other countries that seems to be the case. Unfortunately for me, the consulate in Jamaica only really looks at your most current tax transcript and neglects all other proof and supporting evidence. My current income for 2013 was way over the 125% guidelines but they didn't even look at my current income information. All they wanted to see was my tax transcripts.

Well I 134 is unenforceable and Consulates can do what they want, stupid or otherwise.

First of all I want to say CONGRATS to you both!!!

I wanted to share on this feed my somewhat similar case. My fiance was given a 221g for a few things but the co-sponsor docs were part of it at his Jan. 10th interview. I was hoping my less than $500 deficit for 2012 could be cancelled due to the child support I receive for my 3 kids, but my fiance was told we needed everything from the co-sponsor as well (I only sent her job letter and pay stubs). By the time he had his follow-up interview on Feb. 27, 2014 not only did I send the co-sponsor's 2012 W2 and tax transcript, I also attached my 2013 W2 ( I hadn't filed yet) that showed I made more than enough now that my furlough days were restored. I wasn't sure if they would take that into consideration, but surprisingly my fiance was told by this different CO that he shouldn't have needed a co-sponsor in the first place. Oh well.. he's APPROVED now. What's done is done! Now just waiting for "ISSUED" to show up on the CEAC website.

Does everyone go through AP before Issued once approved? Because his is at READY and has updated every workday since Feb. 27th.
