I was talking with an immigration attorney recently and he stated that the HCM Consulate was returning joint-sponsor paperwork to his clients who had K-1 applications pending. It seemed to be an across-the-board application of this new policy. In other words, all cases reviewed after the first of the year dissallowed any joint-sponsor whether they had been received before the first of the year or after.

It seems the HCM Consulate or the State Dept. did not bother to notify the public and I have yet to see this policy posted on their website. Does anyone know the basis-in-law for applying such a policy?

I have heard of this same policy being implemented at the Phillipine Consulate. I imagine this is done to stem the tide of fiancee visa applications, and exclude certian nationalities and races that the State Dept. does not want to let in the US.

What? So I will automatically be denied? ####### is going on here?! I have to have a co-sponsor. It is a must. My writing provides pay at different periods, may times months apart. Great, so I am doing all of this for nothing?!!!!

THIS MAKES NO SENSE! The rules very clearly state that we can have a co-sponsor. It's in black and white, so how can this ONE single consulate say F YOU?

Do you receive a request for additional evidence? Did your co-sponsor have enough income? You need to provide more information on your denial.

Hi Matt, Dont get too discoraged yet. I have been searching hi and low for any information regarding co sponsers denials in HCMC. So far I found nothing. I am not in need of a co sponser, but I have had some free time looking into this. There is one thing you can try though, you can email the Info Unit Staff, Consular section. Ask them about having a co sponser, and see what they say. But to get a response from them you will need to have all your ducks in a row. When I had an issue this is how i did it. Send your email to the Info Staff Unit , consular section. Keep it short and to the point, just ask them about having a co sponser and if the rules have changed. Then most important is to put all the relevent information regarding your case, see below. I think by doing this, you will get a straight answer. Good luck and let us know what happens.
