Why are you speaking to the State Department?

Can you not contact the consulate directly?

I have been staying up all night and calling the consulate.... they won't pick up. I emailed them and no response. out of frustration i called the state department.

What a mess! Tons of people submit co-sponsors, and I bet a fair number of them are jointly filed taxes. Why haven't we heard of joint signatures or additional Affidavits of Support being necessary?? Because they are not necessary and Delhi is just being difficult!

All you can do neel06, is try your best to get together the forms they are requesting. If you can't contact you aunt now, you may have to just wait.

In the meantime, you said you had another uncle who could do the sponsorship. I wonder if you send in his paperwork, whether it will work. After all, the important thing is to have a sponsor.

That will be good enough. Don't fear anymore neel. Whatever docs they asked for just get those and you will have your Visa in hand. Also one thing, make sure to have a photocopy of the your aunt's proof of citizenship also along with your uncle's... good luck
