Talk to your spouse about this matter--to find out if anything happened with the joint sponsor.  Sometimes the decision is made to deny based on financial reasons even when the joint sponsor's income is sufficient because in the officer's opinion there are other concerns about your case.  They make a decision based everything in the file.  Meeting the minimum income level is sometimes not enough.  It could be that you will be living in a high-cost city for example, or the employment and income record of your spouse is not good.  Your spouse should also contact the embassy/consulate to ask them what could be done to overcome the denial.  What is your spouse's current income?  A good stable career with the ability to provide for the family?  Living in what city in the US?

Probably best to let your husband deal with it, there may be language issues.

It means they did not accept the I-864 from the joint sponsor. Either the evidence provided was insufficient or they didn't have enough income/assets to convince the CO that you won't become a public charge.

What evidence was provided? What was the income/asset level?

Do you have any particular circumstances that would cause the CO to believe you might become a public charge? Any past use of income-based government aid?

 

While the joint sponsor may have met the minimum income level to file an I-864, the CO makes a public charge decision based on the totality of the circumstances. Under 125% of the FPL = refusal. Above 125% = judgement call.

The CO makes the decision on public charge based on the totality of your circumstances. The poverty guidelines are just guidelines. It's not like if the sponsor meets the numbers, it's automatically a yes. 

 

Could you elaborate more on your specific circumstances financially?

my joint sponsor makes 80000$ a year

The minimum to qualify depends on the household size. See: https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p

The minimum to guarantee acceptance/approval doesn't exist. It's always a judgement call.

 

No idea what the new appointment is for...I'm assuming they want to talk to you about something. Presumably it would be why they think you might become a public charge, unless there is some other issue they want to inquire about.

Unless he has a very large household size or there are significant out of pocket costs that the CO believe you will require, that's usually pretty good.

What evidence of income was provided? Are they self-employed or a W-2 earner?

Pretty typical....so it sounds like evidence of income wasn't the issue.

 

My suggestion is to:

1) Attend the interview and try to get more details.

2) Start looking for a different joint sponsor (or to obtain suitable employment yourself).

[fip & jim 452]

They believe you are likely to be a public charge (become primarily dependent on the government for health care and/or nutrition and housing programs). Did you see the affadavit of support that was filed and know that those figures are correct? You will not know why until you attend the interview. We can only speculate.

You need to delete the picture of the letter from here. It contains your personal information and anyone can view it on here.

[CEE53147 559]

Your husband should go to the US and get a job.  You can then follow once he is established. 

 

It is irresponsible to expect your joint sponsor to pay for you.  You need to understand that the level of income for sponsorship assumes that you will be living in their residence.  You are unlikely to do so as a couple.

sounds also like

 

 

That the husband has been living overseas has no USA job, no way to provide proper health insurance to her or the child?

 

this would be a cause for alarm in determining the public charge ruling.
