Question on joint sponsor after DQ-ed with Case FE note

Hi there,

After months of wait my case is finally DQ-ed with interview scheduled, in parallel with the DQ message, there is a "Case FE note" which NVC recommended me to get a joint sponsor to fill in I-864 because they think my case does not met the financial requirement.  As a petitioner, my financial and salary condition is well above the HHS poverty guideline but since NVC recommended me to bring a joint sponsor's 864 form, I did get my relative who is a US citizen to act as the joint sponsor. 

 

A couple of questions about this which I'm hoping to get your knowledge on:

  1. Now that my case is at the US Embassy, do I still need to upload joint sponsor's 864 form to the CEAC portal?
  2. On the I-864 form, should the joint sponsor select "I am the only joint sponsor" or I am the first/second sponsor? I assume it should be "I am the only joint sponsor"
  3. On CEAC portal the system only asked me to bring a copy of the joint sponsor's 864 form, but should I also collect the joint sponsor's passport scan, signed 864 form, and 2021 tax return just in case?
  4. Are there any other things I've missed in this case?

 

This forum have helped me tremendously during the application process and I really appreciate all the help I've been getting from you!

1.  You can take the forms to the interview.  However, the CO could ask you to upload the documents, anyway.  That could cause a delay.  Your other option is to upload them now.

2.  "I am the only Joint sponsor" is correct. 

3.  Yes.  Absolutely.  The documentation requirements are the same for sponsors and joint sponsors.

4.  As far as a joint sponsor is concerned, it looks OK to me.

I think if you read the message carefully, it says you may want to have a joint sponsor.  If you know you are well qualified, just ignore it.  The same message is sent to people who have a million bucks in liquid assets.  Your notice also says the Consular Officer will make the decision, right?  If you are going to use a joint sponsor you'll need all you would need for a joint sponsor.  It doesn't change based on timing

Thank you for your advice! Do you know if I do submit all the files to CEAC portal, will it delay or impact my interview date or no?  Also, does the petitioner need to be present to the interview or it's ok to just let the applicant go? Thanks again.

Thank  you for helping.  Do you know if I upload the documents to CEAC now, will it impact my interview date by any chance? I do also have questions regarding the interview: 1. Do I need to accompany or go to the interview as a petitioner? 2. In terms of marriage proof - we don't have any co-owning financial stuff but we've been living together for many years and have photos, the Embassy letter did not specify any materials for proof of marriage, would you recommend us to prepare anything like that?  Thanks again!
