Must get a Joint Sponsor & Prohibited from using assets

[Tesco 71]

I recently had my Immigrant interview where all went well until the end where I was given a green piece of paper with many options for the CO to mark against. Mine was marked ‘Joint Sponsor’

All was well with the i-864 income levels exceeding the poverty level, based on passive income that will continue in the U.S., (No RFE from the NVC). My spouse’s job is in the U.K, so will naturally end once we move.

I guess our issue is that although we have ‘cash assets’, that on their own without any other income would easily exceed the poverty levels, the option to use these has been made unavailable to us. Our only option (that is ticked off) is for a joint sponsor. Getting a joint sponsor is negligible to none at best, so effectively, as we can’t use assets, I can’t get a visa.

Is there any recourse with CO’s, such as they really should look at assets, or can they simply say ‘get a joint sponsor’ regardless of ‘cash’ assets'?

You’d think that sponsorship would first look to the resources from within the household and then look to a 3^rd party if those resources were insufficient.

Any thoughts would be welcomed – thank you.

Did you list the cash assets in the original I864 that you submitted to NVC ?

No, as income was above the poverty level.

It is because you said your spouse's job will end in the UK. They cannot go by that income. Either try with your cash assets or sponsor.
