Affidavit of Support (Joint Sponsor)

[moe2341 0]

I have a some questions regarding the affidavit of support (joint sponsor) for our case. 

 

• The petitioner did not make enough income so we needed a join sponsor 
• We uploaded a joint sponsor who is self employed with his three most tax returns, so NVC asked for W2 and 1099, we submitted schedules and a wage and income transcript along with a comment explaining that the join sponsor does not have a W2/1099. 

 

After the above was completed, we review 3 RFE’s from NVC respectively:

1. Provide evidence of income for Petitioner
2. Provide evidence of income for joint sponsor 
3. 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. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. 

 

My first question: I have a new join sponsor with three most recent tax years: $2500 in 2020, $49,000 in 2021, $127,000 in 2022. Will this be a good sponsor, can I just upload him and ignore the rest of the messages? 

 

My second question: Or do I continue providing more proof of income for first join sponsor? I have bank statements, paystub, and Tax Return Transcript.

Even if the petitioner didn't make any money, they still have to submit an i-864. This is probably why you got the first RFE. I would avoid joint sponsors who are self employed because they have to have more documentation (like 1099s). Also, it's possible that your self-employed joint sponsor didn't make enough money to qualify as your joint sponsor and maybe that's why they gave you the second RFE. The third RFE is obvious because essentially you didn't prove enough income. 

 

Since you have a new sponsor, yes upload their stuff but also don't forget their W2s or 1099s (it's really hard to get approved without these). Also, you need to show your income EVEN IF it's not enough. You still have to submit the i864.
