DQ'd but still asking for a joint sponsor

[Orion22 3]

We just received notice that we are DQ'd after sending in more proof of income. They say the case doesn't meet the income requirements, but we do. They asked for a joint sponsor back in November for our first round, but we don't have one. How is it possible that we're DQ'd, but they say we don't meet the requirements? 

We're not sure what to do here, very frustrating.

This has happened to many people. Basically, the officer at the interview will make the final decision. But if the petitioner does not make enough, you need to have a joint sponsor by the time you get to the interview. If the petitioner does make more than enough, then I guess you can just go and see what happens. I personally wouldn't risk it. I would secure a joint sponsor just in case.

Thank you!

 

We don't have a joint sponsor, so hopefully they'll accept the income at the time of the interview.

Well the real question is - does the petitioner make 125% over the poverty level for your household?

 

If no, then they won't approve you.

If it's barely above it, you are taking a big risk.

And if it's definitely above it, you should be fine.

Yes, it's quite a bit over the 125% 👍

It is the CO’s decision during the interview. If I was you, I would be ready with a joint sponsor to prevent any delays after the interview
