  1. I understand the belt and suspenders mind set, but I don't subscribe to it in this context. Avoiding obligating a joint sponsor when not absolutely necessary would be my priority. YMMV
  2. Everything has a context. The reason you would file an I-864 with no income or assets is that the petitioner is required to do so in that circumstance. In such a case, a joint sponsor would be required. In the OP's situation, they clearly qualify, and the home equity would be considered within its context as part of the totality of circumstances. By your logic marriages fail often, so why would anybody try it? Qualifying as sponsor using assets is allowed. It requires properly completed affidavit and properly documented qualifying assets. Anything marginal is risky, but those will clearly qualifying finances are routinely successful using assets to sponsor an immigrant.
  3. This is an example of documentation and completion errors. They qualified, but what they presented did not make that clear enough.
  4. Easier for me, as I primarily hang out in the spouse visa forum. However it is not correct that USCIS or Consular Officers "do not allow" equity in a primary resident to be used as an asset. What's true is they don't consider it liquid. In this case, they will know the sponsor has lower expenses because they pay no rent, and they have sufficient liquid assets to make up for the income shortfall.
  5. Too general. When done properly, this should be fine. It's the D/R, not India.
  6. USCIS will not be involved in the financial part of the decision on a spouse visa case. That is all submitted to NVC and the Consulate.
  7. The 90k in the bank can carry the day. Just a few statements with the oldest being at least a year old will do. With regard to the apartment, sure listing it as an assets and documenting the equity is certainly allowed, but when evaluated, the equity will not be considered liquid. What it's good for is to show you don't pay rent, and are solvent. USCIS has nothing to do with evaluating an Affidavit of Support in a spouse visa case. That will be NVC and a Consular Officer.
  8. Time to "come to jesus" on this. You were advised properly back in February.
  9. Just so you understand, you must do this before you file petitions for the children. If you file and they get denied at interview, your husband will have a visa that expires in six months and your children will have nothing and no way to accompany your husband to the USA.
  10. Do you mean you DID NOT MEET the physical presence requirements. If so, have you looking into your children's citizenship through your parents. (Grandparents, as mention in the previous topic)
  11. If petitions are needed for the children, the above is certainly ok to try, but don't get your hopes up. It's the petitioner's responsibility to do their homework. It's pretty difficult for any politician to spend their political capital when USCIS and NVC have done nothing wrong.
  12. The question relates to the children being biological children of the US Citizen petitioner. If the US Citizen petitioner was a USC at the time of each child'e birth and meets the physical presence requirement, they don't need visas. They need Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, and US Passports. Please clarify whether the petitioner was a US Citizen when each child was born, and whether they lived in the USA at least 5 years, one year of which was after turning age 14. If so, they are US Citizens and cannot be issued immigrant visas. You take the CRBA, and US Passport route.
  13. The actions you did not take (filing the childrens' petitions when you filed for your spouse) are the reasons for any separation. What you can do to avoid separation now, is to delay your spouse's interview until they can all go together. Are these the petitioner's step children or their natural children?
  14. Be cautious of any advice from others about whether you should do it yourself. They know nothing more about your aptitude, attitude, or capability to do homework, read carefully, interpret literally, and respond accuratly, than that you found the wrong forum on this website and hijacked a post in the wrong forum. Make your own decision based on those factors. The partner page is there for good reason. https://www.visajourney.com/partners/
  15. The above suggestions are great for an initial submission, but mostly would look contrived, if done at this stage. Anything created after receiving the NOID, is weak, at best. Seems there is plenty of non-contrived evidence available that was not submitted initially.
