AOS(I-864) question for people with Mumbai consulate experience.

[bjp_23 1]

I have received checklist from NVC regarding AOS. It says following.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

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. To view the current poverty guidelines, visit http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My income is below poverty line. But I have more than enough assets in checking account to cover five times the difference between poverty line and yearly income. I did not get co-sponsor because according to I 864 instructions I met income requirement by adding my assets to my annual income. I called NVC and they told me that assets are not taken into account at NVC stage and consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. Lady at NVC told me to check Mumbai consulate practice on how they handle assets to meet the minimum income requirement.

Is there any one here with similar situation at Mumbai consulate? Did consular officer consider your assets? Please share your experience.

Thank you in advance.

do you have a someone who can add his/her income for you? then submit joint sponsor it is also i864 for them. it will avoid problem at visa time.

They used to see $ in your bank account but I think they have change that requirement and now sees income for it.

And yes asset comes at last.

Wanted to get an update on this. Did the Mumbai consulate approve your form I864? If yes, how?
