Case Fe Review Note

[lalinda.chica 1]

Hi everyone,
We need some advice, my mom petition for my siblings and we receive a message from ceac that she didn't meet the income requirements that she need a join sponsor and the applicant  bring it during the interview. But my question is, we have a joint sponsor for the petition, who is my husband and he meets the income that was ask according to the poverty guidelines which is almost 49k. We uploaded everything also on ceac website under join sponsor, and its says in the status its all Accepted . Thats why we are wondering about it. Stress and confused waiting for too long for the petition.

If you list here what exact documents/forms were uploaded regarding your mom and your husband i864s, we probably could see missing link causing the RFE.

This is the message my mom receive, but we submitted a joint sponsor also that meets the income. And on the CEAC its all accepted.

My husband who is my mom join sponsor uploaded everything in the system and they all accepted his documents along with mine who are household member because my husband and I filed taxes together. And we make 50k together. The income req. for 7 household is $48,762. I ask the rep. about it she didn't give me any advice. She just said we need a joint sponsor during the interview. But we have it already though. Thats why I am confused. Everything is uploaded and accepted in the system.

So the requirement is $48.7K and household income is $50K. I see why they suggested for a joint sponsor during the interview. That is marginally higher and will likely be denied by the CO. COs look at the overall financial perspective. Just being above the number doesn’t mean you met the criteria. So yes, i also suggest to look for the joint sponsor so that the income is a lot higher than the requirement.

@arken How much income we need to show for total of 7 household?

The minimum is the $$ as you have stated. But that’s only one part of the picture. The request for another joint sponsor indicates they are thinking that the IO will consider the financial situation not strong enough and are looking for a sponsor with a higher income to reduce the likelihood of becoming a public charge.
