Thank you, but I actually think I made a mistake in what their income is after reviewing their tax returns. Doesn't look like they will qualify based on income, but maybe the houses they own. Do real estate assets have less chance of being accepted by the consular officer as meeting the financial requirements?

Thank you, I guess that proves it works lol.

Hey thank you for the in-depth answer, I appreciate it. So will my current income be weighed more heavily than income gaps in my tax returns do you think?

The only possible Joint Sponsor that I may have right now does not work anymore, but has fairly high retirement income. This comes from things like social security, military pension and being disabled. Is this going to be a problem? They also have 2 houses currently that maybe I could use as assets instead. Thank you!

Hi there, just another question to understand my situation. I'm currently getting financial documents in order for my wife's IR-1 case at the NVC. I believe that as the petitioner with a joint sponsor I only needed the most recent tax return and my 2021 income was really low, like maybe 12k or less. 2022 was much better, but still very low like maybe less then 20k still. My question is: For my household i believe that it's almost 41k income required. If my joint sponsor meets this requirement is my low income on my tax returns going to be a problem? Also I work for Uber and it's self-employed in a way, will that be a problem with documenting my income? This year my income has gone up quite a bit though, but still under the requirements. Thank you so much, sorry for too much info.

Thank you, I appreciate the info!

Hi all, my wife may be coming during the first half of next year to the US from the Philippines if her visa gets approved. She has been wondering about the Covid Vaccine requirements, does anyone know? I know there are other vaccines required but she was wondering about the Covid one specifically. Also, where would she be getting that vaccine, during her Medical at St. Lukes before the interview? Thank you!

Thank you, yes I can agree with that. I would rather take my time to do it right.

Thanks for the info. Their daughter is married actually as far as I know. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Hi all, just another question to clarify what I should do. Right now I need to pay the fees for my DS-260 and AOS and then submit them to NVC. My question is, should I rush and try to get all the docs together before the end of the year and submit it before the new year? I'm asking because I don't know if there are any changes coming down the line for immigration in 2023 that could hurt me if I wait. Or does it matter? Thank you!

Thank you, yeah I guess I'll find out.

Thank you, I appreciate the response. No, she's way above that.

Hi there, been a while since I posted here. I'm hopefully reaching the end of the visa process for my wife in the Philippines. Anyways I found some people who may qualify to be a Joint Sponsor for my wife in the Philippines, but they just informed me that they will be starting the steps to Petition their daughter in the Philippines as well. I have to ask, can they be BOTH my Joint Sponsor and also a Primary Petitioner for their own family member? These are totally unrelated applications and they are not related as family to me either. Thank you so much!
