How much time

[Karry 9]

Hello everyone...

 

i have a question AGAIN.. so, my interview appt i coming up and i was wondering, since the consulate didn‘t request a joint sponsor yet (which i‘m pretty sure we need) how much time do we have to get the joint sponsor‘s paperwork after the interview? Like do we have to go there again with the paperwork? Or do they keep my passport and we mail it to them and then they decide? 

 

Might be a dumb question but i‘m nosey...

 

and yes i could take the joint sponsor stuff with me right away but the joint sponsor want to wait and see if it‘s really needed first.. i can‘t do anything about that 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would find another willing, qualified joint sponsor and have everything ready at the time of the interview. It sounds like your joint sponsor is hesitant.

Lol.. it is not easy to find someone that is financially responsible for another human being.. i would never do that for anyone. 

 

As i said it is not requested yet and i do understand that the joint sponsor doesn‘t want me to see their whole financial situation. 

 

If it is really needed they will tho.

 

but that was not my question. My question was how much time is given to turn in the paperwork. Please only answer the question if you know it. I don‘t need to find another joint sponsor.

Word of advice find a sponsor and have him/her ready before your interview if you are sure you need one.not having one will only slow down the process during and after the interview.  

 

If you got asked for one then it's up to you how fast you can provide them with one and how fast you can forward your required papers back to them. Which most likely will put you in Administrative processing.

Ok, Let start at a different angle. Why do you think you need a joint sponsor?

 

The answer to your question is 1 year, by the way.

Our DCF instructions required bringing the affidavit in person to the interview.  It is highly likely that yours also says that.  If you know you need it and do not bring it with you then chances are high that you will have to go back.

 

Your joint sponsor will be needing to provide it to you to bring or you will need a sponsor who trusts you enough to provide it.  No amount of frustration or all caps posting will avoid this requirement.

 

Option 2:  Wait until your spouse has the means and financial ability to sponsor you.

Oh my god.. this forum is really frustrating.. we have submitted the I-864 already.. and they did not say i need a joint sponsor! I am assuming!!!! If i had quite some money, i wouldn‘t want my family to know either! Some people just are like that and i don‘t blame them!!! They are willing to joint sponsor if REALLY NEEDED!!

Assuming new medical and police certificates.

Because he has no US income. We own a business outside the US that we are about to sell. We did of course send the last 3 tax returns and everything that was requested. But the income won‘t continue. That‘s why i assume we need a joint sponsor.

i don‘t know why the consulate didn‘t tell me yet.. i am pretty sure they will at the interview.

Option 2 is not an option..there is absolutely no need to live separate since we have a joint sponsor if we need one.

DCF cases rarely have continuing US income.  We did not.  We declared assets and were approved.  

You won’t be approved on the basis of a business you are “about to sell”.  Approval absent income requires highly liquid assets that are in the US.

Because that determination is made at the interview. If you have no US income, you will need a lot of liquid assets. Remember assets only counts in the ratio of 1:3 when converting to income.

I know this. We will have the money from selling the business as assets. But here where we live.. not in the US. And we are a family of 3 and we don‘t have 80.000$ in assets.. that‘s why we have a joint sponsor.

If you are holding a signed affidavit of support for your upcoming interview that would be an accurate statement.

Then you need to get that affidavit and bring it.  You WILL need it.
