Just got DQ from NVC, question about Case Note

[Gaiden79 14]

Hi all, it's good news I just got Documentarily Qualified from NVC for my wife's IR-1 case in the Philippines, but there is a Case FE note on the CEAC website that states the following:

 

The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted.

 

I do have enough income on my I-864 which is about 12k above the annual requirements, but my 2023 tax return showed income well below the requirements. Now I know that many have received this message before and it's probably only the tax return that is flagging this message and our current income is what matters but here is my question. Would the NVC have DQ my papers if the stated CURRENT income on my I-864 was below the 125% poverty line requirements? 

 

Thank you so much!

No, they would not have DQ'd you if they needed anything else.  If you're confident your current income is sufficient, simply ignore the case note.  It...IS...because of the tax return.  Operative word is "may".

That's good to know. Thank you for the informative answer.
