I am writing on the behalf of my fiancé case, that was denied under section 212(a)(4) “Which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone likely to become a public charge” on September 26th , 2016.  I have submitted the additional documents that the consular have requested of me through the postal mail. And I've provided my co-spouser I-134 income tax with annual of $120,000 and employment letter. But the consular keep telling the same thing about "public charge concerns. I even sent documents that I have to provide to the consular more than 3 times.
But the last time..as a last resort they want me to post a surety bond which I already asked the consular to advise me amount of bound needed by co-sponser ..but they cannot tell me amount of it . Even my attorney has no idea about this case since he been working for 15 years he never seen the case like this..

I'm at lost.

Please help! 
Thank you.

Thailand is reportedly reluctant to take joint sponsors for the I-134. This CO has made the decision not to do so. Your options moving forward are:

  1. Do the surety bond as being requested by the CO. That said, I've never actually seen this done, so I can't provide any more guidance with respect to it.
  2. Increase your income/assets to meet the requirements by yourself
  3. Marry and do a CR-1 visa

 The acceptance of  a joint sponsor is at the discretion of the CO   If you don't have the income and/or assets to satisfy them you can be denied. It isn't your sponsor that needs the bond you do. 

So as a petitioner ..I'm going to do the bond but I don't know the amount of needed for the surety bond that I need to obtain to overcome the public charge.

please help!

  This bond is like buying insurance.  The bondsperson will charge you a fee,  maybe payable in installments.  In return they will be on the hook if the immigrant becomes a public charge.   The amount of the fee will depend on how big a risk the bondsperson thinks they are taking. 

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
