Is this you Also? 

[JFH 12,190]

If your wife is making $1700 a month then her income is $20,400 annually. The minimum for a 2-person household is $20,300 so she is barely over. The CO can use his discretion to request a joint sponsor if someone is barely over the minimum. 

 

I would just focus on finding a joint sponsor like you were asked to. There is no point in contacting the embassy again and again with the same answer - the decision has been made that you need a joint sponsor. That will not change.

Is there any way you or she can make up the difference in assets?

I haven't heard of anyone else with this problem. 

 

Regardless, your wife's income is barely over the minimum and they can ask for a joint sponsor. So why not just find one? It would make it a lot simpler than arguing with the embassy.

Your wife should come and ask here or read the instructions to the I-864.  They are very clear.

Simply putting money in an account is unlikely to satisfy the requirement.  They are looking for assets and if she were simply going to put that money in an account they would want to see a history of where it came from and how long it was there for.  What others have said is still your best course of action... Your wife should find a co-sponsor.  This is Tunisia and that can be a difficult embassy to be approved from.  If you have other Red Flags such as a significant age difference ( especially if your wife is significantly older than you) then it may be that the 'easiest' answer for the CO to deny the visa was based on assets of your wife.   You should clarify with your wife what the financial numbers provided were and rather those numbers really did match what you were shown.  As others have said the CO has the authority in cases just over the minimum to require a co-sponsor but if for some reason $1000/month was reported to the embassy and your wife actually makes $1700/month and there would only be the two of you (She is not supporting anyone else and has no children at home) then you might be able to have her submit the proof of the income.  But it is likely that SHE will require a co-sponsor

this is my last question just  to understand well bcz still confused this is the letter of my wife to us embassy :

to sum up for you my income is from Social Security Disability and is given monthly for the rest of my life this income is not taxable. In additionally I have a childcare business which requires me to pay taxes. The total of my Social Security income is $13,283.00 per year as shown on line 23a of my tax return (enclosed) as well as the attached benefit letter.The total income from childcare for last year was $7,500.00 which was also reported on my tax return under schedule C as gross receipts. My total income was $21,960.00 for last year which is above the poverty guideline for a married couple in Pennsylvania.

Can you please explain what is needed at this point

What your wife requires is additional income or a co-sponsor.  Likely a co-sponsor.  While her reported income is over the minimum required for a two person household the source of that income is likely, in the mind of the CO, questionable.   Not saying your wife is lying about her income but the $7,500 per year for woman who is collecting social security Disability is going to minimally raise questions in mind of the CO as to rather that income source is legitimate and sustainable.   She will need to find a co-sponsor or more assets or income.

Note also, that Social security Disability is for someone who is unable to work because of a disability.  While the CO can not legally question the reason for her receiving Disability he/she may question how someone with a permanent disability is able to run a day-care business and fly to your country

People who receive disability can work a certain number of hours a week.  Interesting she manages to skirt in right under the limit of how much you can do that.  Wonders of the modern American welfare system.
