2016 Taxs Or a Co Sponer? Not denied but not approved.

[Meynard2 2]

Me and my Wife, had her interview and everything went well, until they saw my taxs for the past 3 years none of them made the bare minimum 20,025 for me to sponser them even tho I brought pay stubs and a employment letter informing them my salary of around 38,000. So the Officer informed me to either wait for my 2016 taxes  (which show my new salary)or find a co-sponser. I'm having a tough time finding a Sponer so I believe if I show them my 2016 taxes that should be enough. Or should I do both? The officer also said that they had no intention of denying her and took her passport and put it in her packet but they said that the Co-sponer and my Taxes where the only Issues? What can we do? They also said there's no need to go to the embassy instead mail them to the embassy directly. That got my hopes up, this happened in Managua,Nicaragua.

Did you already receive your W2's and other tax documents from banks etc so that you can file taxes soon?  Each of those options are independent of each other so I would suggest doing both.  If you file your tax return electronically, it takes 2-4 weeks before the transcript becomes available. If you mailed your tax return, it takes about 6 weeks so timing depends on a few factors.  I'd still try to get a sponsor and mail in whichever comes first - appropriate forms and documents for the co-sponsor or your 2016 tax transcripts.

Same thing happened to us on our interview. They said that my income was not enough for 2015. We used his relative as joint sponsor and luckily his income was enough. I did not wait for my 2016 tax to be filed since i am still here with my husband. We asked his relative to expedite his documents. We received it on January 30 and the embassy received it in February 1st. Now the status was changed to issued from ap. We are just waiting for his visa packet to be mailed. I called the embassy to verify and they said that wait 7 to 10 business days for the visa to be delivered. Every case is unique. It all depends on the person how they handle our case. Good luck to you hopefully you find a solution as soon as possible so they can process it.
