NVC asks for proof of income when it's zero

[aerodnight 76]

Hi everyone,

 

So, after 12 days my ceac account has updated, at least in most of the part. I got two FE review messages, one says that the case does not meet the minimum income requirement, the second asks for my(petitioner) proof of income, even though I'm pretty sure I wrote that it's 0 when completing the I-864 form. I've read some topics on the forum and I was thinking that I will probably need to upload a written statement under proof of current or self-employment category, that my income is completely foreign-based, so I don't have any proof of income to provide, is there anything else I can do?

 

The other problem is that all but two of my joint-sponsor's documents say Accepted. The first is her's I-864 form and the other is proof of US citizenship. Every other document says accepted, there is also no message about them from after the review, so I don't know if this is because of CEAC website issues or for some other reason. I was convinced that there should be no documents with 'Submitted' status after the review.

I’ve seen people making the statement that their income is foreign based getting DQ’d, and I’ve also seen people uploading proof of their foreign income getting DQ’d without the statement.

 

I would suggest you write the statement first + attach the proof of current foreign income in page 2. I think they’ll accept either/both.

OK, I don't understand why YOU, the foreign immigrant would be completing the affidavit of support that would be about and signed by the US Citizen petitioner, but instead of being "pretty sure" about entering zero as their current income, BE SURE by inspecting a copy of what was submitted.  If it DOES say zero, then the petitioner should upload a signed statement indicating they have no income.  If it doesn't say zero, the the petitioner should complete, sign and upload, a corrected affidavit of support AND a separate signed statement indicating they have zero income, just to be safe.

If you are NOT sure the original submission was correct, the petitioner should replace it with on that is.

 

The second message is not a request for anything.  If your joint sponsor is well qualified, just ignore it.

I actually made a mistake in that original post, I wrote my instead of mine. I'm the petitioner, not the immigrant
