Didn't meet miminum income requirements

[nickmc 0]

Hi all,

My wife and I received an email from the NVC (titled - Checklist cover letter), stating that my sponsors (my America wife) did not meet the minimum income requirements to sponsor the intending immigrant (myself).

But on the financial info. we submitted, our income and assets exceeds the minimum amount 3 times over.

We have tried to call, but as always can never get through, and no reply from email (as always).

Anyone else had similar experiences? Any advice? Any reasons why this may have occurred? We are very confused and anxious at the moment!

Thanks!!

i hope you know the rules of assets evaluation.

Below is the link for poverty guidelines http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Why not get additional sponsor ?? Anyone from family or friends can do that

Hi Bunny and Ninja!,

thanks for the link with the guidelines. These are what we have also been looking at for the past few months and working towards. And we met the minimum three times over so not sure what the problem is.......

What kind of assets do you put in there? If it's a house then they might need proofs of its value

[Gorkhali 214]

and primary house / cars cannot be evaluated (that is what one of the senior member told)

assets were bank balances and life insurance. No property in there. All bank balances and life insurances info/statements were detailed in our affidavit of support so full evidence was provided.

a car was one of the assets though.

How much income does she make, and is it stable? Self-employed or working for someone else?

Was she able to furnish 3 years tax returns?

Life insurance may not count; it needs to be whole life insurance, not term and even then you're pushing it. Neither would a primary vehicle. Any value on any item needs to be professionally assessed unless it's cash in the bank.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your help. After a 2 hour wait trying to connect to the visa centre and then a 30minute hold, we finally got through to someone who could explain it. Turns out we're absolutely fine as our assets are well over, but they were sending that through because the income part of the financial evidence didn't meet the minimum requirement. But overall, we're fine. So thankfully they said our case was complete and we're now waiting for an interview date!

Thanks for the help and advice though, much appreciated!

Interview is where the decision is actually made.

What is the country of interview?

Singapore. Anyone know what their wait time is like? I have read Iceland is really quick, Yemen is really slow, anyone know the average timescales for Singapore?
