Consulate - "Need Joint Sponsor" But not true?

[EdenG 3]

Hello,

My husband had his interview yesterday in Jersualem and they told him he needed a joint sponsor. While I did provide 2014 taxes, some of my taxes were from foreign income and as for my US taxes, I believe the interviewer did not make a fair determination since I only started the US job in October and sent in one paystub (its what I had when I sent the documents to the NVC).

I can get a joint sponsor, but instead, would it be fair to just send in my pay stubs for the year 2015? My gross salary per year is $24,000, which is well above the US poverty line for a couple of two. I receive two pay stubs per month, each $1000 in gross income.

Option two is to not risk it and send in a joint sponsor. Also, does anyone know how long it takes? They said everything else looked perfectly fine.

Thanks

So NVC approved your case without a joint sponsor and now the consulate is asking for one? This sounds very unreasonable on the consulate's part.

I honestly don't know what the next step is but I am very curious to find out the outcome of your case. Good luck and sorry for the lack of assistance

Wow, so NVC approved it and the embassy says no?! If you already have someone willing to be a joint sponsor, you might just do that. You can send in all the pay stubs you have, like you suggest, plus a letter from your employer stating how long you've been employed, salary, full-time etc. However, they might still deny that since they are specifically asking you to get a joint sponsor, not to provide more information about your salary.

This process never ceases to amaze me. One part says ok, the next part says no. If the various parts of the US immigration agencies don't know how it works, how are we suppose to?

Final decision is not on NVC but consular officer. If they say get a joint sponsor, get a joint sponsor.

Hello,

So my husband had his interview two days ago at the Jerusalem consulate and they gave him a white 221g asking for a joint sponsor. They gave him back all our papers and also his passport. The interviewer says everything looks good except for the sponsor issue and to mail the co sponsor forms in.

Can someone tell me if this also means administrative processing? What happens after we submit the sponsor papers? Is it a bad sign or a good sign that they gave him his papers back? I'm assuming that if it is also administrative processing, they would have kept his papers and they would have also stated that it is going through administrative processing.

Please let me know - I'm highly agitated, worried, and even thinking of writing them a letter when we submit our co-sponsor asking them to forgo the administrative processing. Other than that, I'm considering calling my senator for help.

Thanks - please do answer.

Submit what they are asking for until then it will remain in ap, once they receive the documents give them some time to look it over then you should get the visa issued .

But this doesn't mean the type of administrative processing that takes months? Where they do full on background checks and whatever? I'm assuming that since they did not write that on the 221g form and they gave us our papers back, it is just an issue of co sponsor and not something more.

Send them what they are asking for. Get your joint sponsor paperwork together and send it in. They will never forgo AP because you ask them to. Never. If they determine that they want to do extra checks they will. If you are in AP, then you wait. Your senator cannot help you with that.

Yes, but at this point, have we been put in the type of administrative processing that takes months or is it just administrative processing because of the co-sponsor?

I think at the stage you are at, they won't proceed until they get the sponsor paperwork. I think that the AP you are in is due to the 221g. Once they have that, and have looked it over, they can still decide to do further checks if they want.

[Morganalmonshid94 84]

Exactly as stated it will probably go simple after you give them what they are asking but you never really can know with ap every case is different and there's not much you can do if it lingers on after .

[EdenG 3]

I see. I guess we will find out once we submit the papers.

NVC also approved our case and when it came time for the Consulate interview in Montreal, Canada - they gave us a 221G for a joint sponsor. - I believe that this is the fault of the NVC in that if there were issues with any said documents a check-list should have been sent and things should have been fixed and taken care of before it went onto the consulate. NOW people who have been ask for more - are the sufferers in having to spend more time waiting and sending more documents in.

I hope it doesn't take much longer. Our documents will be sent to the consulate next week as I'm waiting for everything form the U.S. from my husband and we'll go from there.
