  1. Yes, I see the same thing. For you and all, many are lazy typers and refer to tax transcript instead of typing tax return transcripts. Only the tax return transcript is applicable in our context. If you don't see "total income" it's the wrong transcript.
  2. They are not. If you are confident you have submitted a well qualified affidavit of support package, I would disregard the message. You are now document qualified, and in the queue for an interview.
  3. Oh, you're right. They changed the message a little lately, I guess. The old one says something to the effect that they are unable to determine that the income is sufficient. I'm still questioning the stated income total and why/how the foreign spouse's income is being included. It seems the initial review missed the schedule C, but adding a schedule C would not change the "total income" number on the tax return.
  4. If that is a direct it is not the standard message that can often be ignored. Maybe it's an interpretation instead of a quote. However, the DQ message would be legit. I'm confused, in that there seems to three incomes being counted, petitioner, petitioner's child and the foreign spouse beneficiary. Is the beneficiary's income going to continue from the same source once they are in the USA?
  5. This is already sorted out. He will go to work. I know this because I read all the posts. The affidavit of support comes in about a year, and it's the most complicated form in the process. He'll go to work. Problem solved. "Find a joint sponsor" is far easier to type than to actually do
  6. In a way, maybe, but she's not coming to the USA until the financial issue is dealt with. It's part of the immigration process. Also, it seems the advice to finish the degree and go to work first, is the exact advice being followed by the OP.
  7. When will you start work? It's time now for you to become an A-Student of those I-864 instructions. There is no such thing as collateral, and the equity in the primary residence is not going to help with the public charge issue.
  8. Unless your mother's income is sufficient on her own, she would not be a qualified "joint sponsor". Do you have somebody else in mind? If you will be working full time "shortly" then that means you've changed your plan to stay in the D.R. for the duration. You working solves the whole problem, as you will qualify as sponsor on your own. Yes, the CR1 would be a better option, as you on not submit the affidavit of support until a year or so after filing the I-130 petition, and your wife will be immediately eligible to work, once she arrives.
  9. Follow the instructions from State.gov you will find here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Uganda.html
  10. Then it is time for you to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions. That neither you or your mother have rent or mortgage payments is a positive, and you can certainly state and document the equity in the home. However, equity in a primary residence is not considered liquid. Perhaps you can qualify as the sponsor with your mother as an income combining household member. You said you've thought about things like insurance for your wife, but you have not stated any plan for that. You will need one. Is the plan for her to work once she arrives?
  11. The issue is not whether or how much the financial situation has changed. The issue is whether the information is current. Update it.
  12. It sounds to me like you are still in denial. It's up to you what you do. My advice will still be there if your latest stated plan fails. Yes, a new more complete affidavit of support from your parents showing their liquid assets, might carry the day, but it will take a new signed form, not just a message.
  13. You also said "tax transcript". The applicable document is the "tax return transcript". It should show total income. Often total income and AGI are the same number. How about on your 1040? Are they the same number? Use 1040 or tax return transcript, not anything else. Words and titles mean things.
  14. They've cracked down on things recently. You're going to need a better plan, and probably should return home and to work before attempting to proceed further. Both your own and your parents' finances are marginal. That won't cut it under the current policies. A bona fide job offer with a specific start date, might work but I wouldn't count on it.
  15. The notice is pretty clear about what they want. Your finances meet the minimums, but that is no guarantee. Apparently, you've been living in the Philippines with your wife for some time. You left that out of your case description, but both that, and your parents being retired, are highly relevant both to the pubic charge question, and for a Consular Officer to understand your plan to relocate and be able to support your wife, including paying for insurance or medical bills. So, what IS your plan? If you don't have one, consider going home and going to work. Tell them that, and once you are back and working, submit a new affidavit of support.
