US Immigration from Sri Lanka

Hello guys!! I need your opinion on my situation. I am a US & Sri Lankan dual citizen who recently moved from SL to US. When I was in SL, I petitioned for my husband to come to the United States and we are in the final stage of the process with the embassy. Since I came to the US during the covid period I couldn t find work related to my field which is Bio Tech & Pharma. So I started working for a coffee shop as a cashier. But I wasn t making enough to sponsor my spouse neither had I filed taxes before, so I submitted the i864 with a joint sponsor( income $30,101). She was working for a hotel but with this covid she was temporarily laid off from work but she was receiving unemployment benefits. So by the time of the interview of my spouse I could find a job in my field with an income slightly higher than the income requirement set by the DHHS poverty guidelines. It is about $1000 higher for the current year which is $22,608. It will be around $31,104 before taxes for the next year ($18 an hour & 36 hours a week). We also don t have any dependents. I prepared a new i864 including new income details and asked my husband to present it to the CO at the time of the interview. Then the CO had issued him a 221g to review the case and after almost a month later, yesterday he was informed by the embassy that the officer needs a new joint sponsor. Herewith attached a screenshot of the email from the embassy. I don t know anywhere else to find a new joint sponsor. I would certainly make way above the income requirement next year as I will be having a pay raise starting from next month. Also in the email from the embassy they have mentioned that there is a requirement to file a i864A. From the readings I did, I don t think there s a requirement to file a i864A unless the petitioning USC spouse uses his/her family members as the joint sponsors to meet the income requirement.

What do you guys think I should do? What are my options? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone of you guys know what it means to be case last updated indicated on CEAC Website? I ve been having 2 updates after the interview on 10th Sep. Does this frequent updates mean that they re working on my case and finalizing? Or anyone has any idea of it? Thanks in advance.

Hello guys!! I was just wondering if they will lift the Department of State s public charge rule injunction anytime soon? Our case is on administrative processing at the embassy, will they ask for DS5540 if the block is overturned?

Guys!! Small thing! I had my CR1 interview recently at the US embassy CMB and was given a 221g for additional documents of relationship evidences. So what I did was, I just sent them all the pictures that we did not submit with the i 130. Was that right? Does anyone know whether USCIS sends them the whole petition to the US. Embassies?

Hello guys!! Quick question, I had my interview today and I was given a 221(g) form and the consular officer has ticked on further consideration will be given to your visa application after we receive the items checked below so he has checked financial documents and evidence of relationship. And I submitted them just now. Is this a bad sign? They kept my passport and original birth certificate and marriage certificate and the translations. What could happen next? At the interview the consular officer didn t even wanna look at the evidence I brought there. If I m getting the visa will I have to be interviewed again? Any possible red flags about my experience today?
