Denial at Final Interview for $$$ Even Though It Meet Guidelines

[JFH 12,190]

The CEO and I are friends

Could he be your joint sponsor?

I don't own any property at this time. My wife has a flat in Georgia that is worth about 15-20,000 USD.

You can use your wife's apartment as assets on the I-864. Get it evaluated and do a new I-864 but all your previous evidence and add the value of the apartment under assets and attach the official evaluation of it.

So you don't think the fact that I will have earned almost $29k when they said $25, 200 as their minimum will matter?

How about the CEO as the joint sponsor?

[James&Maggie 6]

I don't really know if he would or not but I suspect that he would not because I asked him a year ago and he said no, sugggesting I come back to work for him instead.

You are making me nervous because my taxes from 2014 & 2015 meet poverty guideline, but 2013 tax shorts 4.5k. I don't know if that would be a problem.

The CEO and you are friends, and he only pays you $36k! Wow not much of a friend, how are you supposed to survuve on that with a family of 5?

And he won't offer to be a joint sponsor. Isn't that what friends are for?

***** Being friends doesn't mean one should have to pay above market rate salary or be a joint sponsor. Lets get back to constructive advice for the Op *****

Joint Sponsor is the way to go,

I see the family of 5 mentioned but not sure where the other 3 come in, if you are just 2 then you would meet it easily.

I guess I need to clarify two things about my sistuation. My income meets their guidlines and I don't know anybody who would be a joint sponsor.

The poeople who would like to be a joint sponsor don't qualify and and the people who qualify are "uncomfortable" meaning they won't. My own sister and everybody else I've asked, begged, has said no including my boss.

Regarding the size of my family: There is me, my non-citizen wife, our two sons together ( one is US citizen CBA and US passport by DNA exam the other is my son by birth certificate who becomes a citizen once he arrives on US soil because of some child act of 2000.) I also have a daughter from a previous marriage.

The embassy replied to my Senator's office inquiry about her visa denial stating the I did not meet their income requirement of $25,200 for a family of three even though I am a family of five (as if they have not even reviewed my case thoroughly enough to know that.). I am going to the enbassy in Tbilisi, Georgia with bank statements and pay stubs showing payroll deposts of $28,745 from my employment that begun 30 July until present.

I don't have lots of options. I'm grateful that my CEO friend was able to offer me a job immediatley that meets immigration income requirements. What I'm asking you is what more can I bring or do to make my embassy appointment most effective.

I've been apart from my wife and kids since the end of last July and miss them terriblly, so I'm going to be with them from June 8-16. My embassy appointment is Monday June 13. Any advise you could give me, assuming my cicumstances, would be greatly appreciated.

I did put her apartment on the I-864 but without any appraisal or official valuation statement. Could I bring one to my meeting as evedence?
