How long do we have to get a co sponsor after interview?

[babyblue22 0]

If I go to the interview and they'll say that we need another sponsor, how long will we have to provide one?

I'm worried because my husband is earning just a little above poverty line and I think they might say it's not good enough.

For now we can't find one, so I think we will send the I864 as is and hope to be approved.

How long do we have to get a co sponsor if at the interview they'll say we need one?

Will I need to do the interview again?

It's the petitioner that needs to get a co-sponsor if necessary, not the beneficiary.

not in this case.

 

the petitioner is the one that has to get a co sponsor.

 

think of it however you want, but 'thems the facts'.

 

i dont expect to need a cosponsor but with a job change late last year i have one lined up... JUST IN CASE.

 

always be prepared.

I would try to line up a joint sponsor right away, as a backup, and just hang on to the file and be ready to submit if they do RFE for a joint sponsor.  Should they not need it, you can shred or hand back the papers to your joint sponsor.

 

The delays an RFE can cause can set you back several months sometimes, so I wouldn't want to be in a position to be running around begging people to sponsor your spouse.

This is the visa interview you're talking about, right? Not the USCIS I-485 interview. If visa interview, usually up to 1 year.

In that case, I don't know what they're talking about 30 days. If you are given 221g asking for joint sponsor, you generally have up to 1 year to submit more documents before they send the case back to the US from the Embassy

Embassy?

Any assets from the beneficiary must be able to be made liquid within 1 year.

However there are stipulations as to the value needed. It ranges between 3-5 times the difference between your petitioner's income and the poverty line requirements.

but my husbands income is 26k, why do I still need it to be 3 times more?
