Ah, it s been a week since the interview in which we (me) were denied.
My husband was in Australia in 2019, thus income in 2020 tax return was $0. He returned to USA January and is now working in a hospital earning over 125% with full health coverage as of April 2020. He is a federal employee too.
On top of his income from work he is studying nursing (safe job given current pandemic) in which he is being paid on top of that as part of his GI bill. His income combined is closer to 200% of FPG. Family of 3.
I have a class b medical condition but due to his work we (all three of us) have full health coverage. I am 7 weeks shy of getting my first bachelors degree and I ll graduate next year with my Aussie law degree. I ve got a great work history, currently employed with our State government. I ve got experience with volunteering with judges working on human rights cases too. In my view, a stellar resume. Plus I ll be graduating with a 6.8/7 gpa.
We provided all evidence of current income; employment letters and all paystubs plus confirmation of GI bill benefits and transactions.
We got a 221g for joint sponsor. I don t know why, I thought our circumstances are pretty good. We submitted our only joint sponsor really. Family of 4(plus me is 5) with income of over $50k. So it s over the 125% threshold but not super strong.
The only option if this joint sponsor is denied is a doctor at my husbands work who has agreed. I ve never met them but they can t afford to lose my husband as he is currently in healthcare and they need him to stay given underemployment In his department and a pandemic.
does anyone have any commentary or experience on the likelihood they will accept our joint sponsor? My anxiety is making me physically ill so I m kind of reaching out for some reassurance or a prepare his Aussie visa . Just feeling overwhelmed and sad. We have a 1 year old and his Aussie visa will take approx. 2 years.
they have my passport too. And my auspost express envelope
