@alex01 what is the situation of the main sponsor? Are they in the US or in the home country? Have they ever worked in the US? 

And did the JOINT SPONSOR complete I-864 or I-864a? 

Main sponsor living in the US. Co sponsor residing  in the US. The Joint sponsor completed I 864 and his income way above the poverty line,. They got rejection under 212 a 4 saying he and his family Will likely to become public charge.

Does the main sponsor have a job in the US?

The question what kind of options he has inorder to overcome his refusal or it is final. 

Sounds like the consulate does not believe that he has the ability to support his family after they immigrate.  Just making the “number” based on sponsor income level is not enough.

 

1) does he have assets that he can sell to bolster his liquid net worth?

2) what are his academic qualifications and how translatable are they to the US?

3) what skillset does he have that will translate into providing for his family in the US?

Put it this way, if he and wife  in their early 30s (so still fertile) are goatherds (no offense to goatherds), 4 kids, their US sponsor  has 200k income (surpassing the threshold), but zero savings in their name and put down NYC or LA as their destination — I am very happy that the consulate deems them a public charge.

Public charge can be given due to serious medical complications, able bodied people never worked, the family is already living on govt benefits in their country. 
 

what country is this?

OP, many of us have asked very valid question about the family and the sponsors. You chose to answer just a few of them, while ignoring other important questions. We can't help if you won't provide the important background information that we need to be able to point you in the right direction.

 

Good luck, I am done wasting my time here; it is like pulling teeth.

The I-864 seems to be a MAJOR point of confusion on visa web sites such as this one. The Visa Officer is charged with a determination as to whether the intending immigrant might become a public charge while in the US. The I-864 is simply one TOOL that the officer can use in making this determination. I always recommend that the primary sponsor provide career information along with potential job opportunities if they are not currently in the U.S. The income from secondary sponsors is not necessarily available to the immigrant

 

The I-864 is NOT a visa application , nor is it sufficient in itself. Make a case for your own capabilities of supporting the intending immigrants.
