This case does not meet the minimum income requirement

[gyongyhaju 1]

Hello

 

My wife is applying for an IR1 visa, and she was DQ'ed in December. I just looked at the messages sent by the NVC, and I noticed that they sent an addition message after the DQ, stating

 

"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."

 

This message is confusing, since my father was accepted as a joint sponsor. He's retired and has no income, but he has at least 10x the minimum amount of assets needed to meet the requirements, as indicated on his I-864. The NVC also accepted all of the evidence of his assets. This makes me think that one of following could be happening:

 

- The NVC has correctly noted that our income does not meet the requirements, and the interviewing officer will decide if my father's assets are enough.

- The NVC somehow has a problem with my father's assets for some unknown reason.

 

In this situation, is it enough just to bring evidence of my father's assets to the interview, or do we need to do something else? I should note that I have also started a new job with a much higher salary, so I now make much more than the minimum required to support my wife. We plan to bring evidence of this new job with a higher salary to the interview as further evidence that we will have enough money.

 

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Short answer....IGNORE THIS MESSAGE.  Longer answer is this message has a keyword in the second sentence, "may".  The message is sent to anybody who is qualifying based on assets or if the last tax return does not show qualifying income.  So, just ignore it and carry on.
