It was the AGI- I didn't file 1040EZ, so I misinterpreted the form when I read the statement about the AGI.

I mean they looked at line 22, like another poster said- NOT the AGI.  I sent my stuff in yesteraday morning and the CEAC system says something was updated yesterday.  I don't know what that means...

NVC only does an initial review of the I-864. If you meet the minimum requirements to file an I-864, then that usually suffices for them. The CO makes a public charge decision based on the totality of the circumstances, which is more than just meeting the minimums.

That's understandable but I feel like they should have taken into account my earning history. I did take a salary cut last year after leaving a crazy work environment where mass layoffs were happening and tried other things and side hustles that were better for my health. Now, I'm back, working full time at one place, enjoying what I do. So... life isn't always cooperative with our perfect plans. And that's OK.

I just went through this with my K1 application. My fiancee was given the same temporary denial, same embassy. I too made over the requirements and was simply told it is at the COs discretion.  My fiancee did require a second interview with me present. His first interview which he attended alone was on Aug 16th. We scheduled the second interview on September 10th. I flew out with the co sponsor documents. We were in and out of the embassy in about an hour with our approval. He flew home with me that Saturday the 15th. I know first hand the anxiety this causes and I'm sorry you have to go though it. Best of luck

💜💜💜 thank you so much! I have a ticket to go visit October 1st-4th and was hoping they'd be able to come back with me. Do you know how long they'll take to look at my joint sponsor? I sent it in Friday morning. They responded to the email I sent Thursday night on Friday morning- about 10 minutes after I sent in my documents to the other email. We don't have to do a 2nd interview, thankfully.

They will look at it and respond within a few days. The embassy was good like that. I sent them several email communications and always got a response.  You'll be fine. The AP status on the CEAC site says if the case is approved your visa will be available within 2 business days. When we got our approval at the embassy I just mentioned that to the CO and asked if we could pick his visa up at the embassy instead of waiting on DHL. He said yes and we picked it up 2 business days later.

I really hope it goes as well as you and my hubby, family, and bff say it will go. I seem to be the only one stressing over the timeline and scared that they won't respond
