I got DQ'd but also a message indicating that I need a joint sponsor...
"This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p."

Do I need to submit the new joint sponsor documents online or just bring the joint sponsor documents to the consulate interview?

Just hoping they aren't holding off scheduling an interview date (after the mentioned I was DQed) until I submit a joint sponsor online

What was your submission date?

I am just gonna say what i think. If I use my logic- if they already DQ-ed you, that means that you are moving to the next step- scheduling an interview in your local embassy. From my point of view, if they already approved you, that means that you need to bring the joint sponsor documents at the interview. 

I am sure that many people who already experienced this, can give you an advice on what should you do. Good luck!

Hi, this is exactly what my message said - along with two other RFEs for verification of income for myself and the other joint sponsor. All my documents are marked as accepted. Does this mean that I am DQed? I thought they would contact me saying I was DQed.

If DQed, you will receive notification stating your case has been DQed.

If you did not get that notification, but all documents have been accepted, it means that all docs you submitted are acceptable, but not sufficient to DQ the case, and you will need to provide what they asked for

With NVC closed and not expecting any member updates, today seems longer than any other day

Hang in there. So sorry for the RfE but at least you need just one document to 'fix-resubmit'. What was the problem with the police certificate... ?

Thank you! Just a lengthy process for me, almost 2 years now with USCIS and will have to wait another half year. I lived in Malaysia before and to get police certificate we need to apply everything online through system and ask Malaysian Embassy to print it. Since I am far from capital city, we asked Malaysian Embassy in DC to print it since my husband can get there easy. Have anyone of you heard about appealing a document that is actually already correct?

Ask NVC if you can bring the one they asked for to the interview, rather than re-submitting

I know this was an option few years ago, but things might have changed

but you lose nothing by asking

Thank you for the suggestion! Will raise about this too to my attorney. My attorney said our documents are accurate even they can't understand why 😅 Do you know if it will restart back the 3 mos clock if asking to bring docs to interview?

For sure its a worth trying. There is nothing you can lose. If you are sure that thats the one and only original document you can get- you should contact them either through an official email or some type of a complaint and tell them the this is the only valid document at this point. I understand everything, trust me, I have been there- for me just for the I-130 process it too me almost a year( 11 months) and we are not even close being done. Good luck

If they allow you to bring to the interview, they will DQ and then schedule the interview per the consulate's availability in your home country.

That's if they allow to bring to interview

Yes I really thought after 18mos wait of I-130 then it is so close to the end, but turns out not really, still looooong way ahead 😂 I will keep you guys updated with my process. Good luck to everyone here, I hope you will get DQ!

Good morning guys, its midnight here in Chicago. Just got the Approval email from NVC, so finally the saga for me is over. I wish you all the luck to all of you and I hope you get the same DQ as well!
