Hi Everyone, ...So I have a problem...

My husband just went for an interview today and he was told that the joint sponsor is not enough. But it is well over the amount. Also they said that they do not believe that my joint-sponsor is going to sponsor, what should I do?

Sorry to hear of this unfortunate delay. I hope the decision was request of additional paperwork/new sponsor and not an outright denial.

Did the joint sponsor have too many in his/her household? Or sponsored others without declaring them and was caught out. I'm afraid you have to provide some personal details if you expect some meaningful help from this community. Otherwise, consider looking for a new/additional sponsor.

I think you'll get more responses from the NVC Filers thread. Traffic is relatively light here.

Any updates about your interview? Did they Take the passport or what? And according to your previous comment I can see your friend is your sponsor , but why did you write as cousin in the letter you submitted at the interview. Hope nothing goes wrong. Hope they accept your sponsor paper.

We made it home last night!!!

Minneapolis POE was super easy. The first CBP was a bit grumpy and when my husband showed the flimsy white 'do not open' package (it traveled through 4 countries with no tears!) the agent said 'oh yay, another one'. He said my husband needs to go to the Passport Control room and wait for an officer there. I asked if I could go back with him and he said 'yea if you want, just warning you, you're going to be there for a while'. I made a joke that I'll just go home and get the car then. Went down like a led balloon!

We go to the room where I made another crack that we were sent to the principal's office. The second CBP heard me and said 'this is NOT the principal's office, this is the GOOD room!' He asked one question, when did we file. We said Sept 2013 and he said 'that's it?!' I gave him a Madea look and he said 'some people wait years for this!' I told him I was fully aware. Since I kept chiming in throughout the conversation, the CBP dude asked if my photo should be on the green card (while laughing). He said he tries to have a sense of humor and I told him it was appreciated as we've read horror stories. Naturally, he said don't believe everything we read.

Visa stamped, signed, and my husband finger printed. We asked about the social security card and he said they have no control over that, since it was completed on the DS-260 which is a DoS document (makes sense).

GUYS!!!!! We finally got the application for a social security number through!! :joy:

Quick recap: POE was July 2 but no SSN arrived in the mail. We went to an office to apply and discovered my husband's name was entered incorrectly, which prevented him from applying. 1 horrific visit to USCIS, 4 chats with CBP, and 3 trips to SSA later, IT'S DONE! We're relieved beyond words. So much time, energy, and anguish went into fixing this issue... now on to figuring out why the green card hasn't arrived. But still, in the meantime,

We made it home last night!!!
