Understood. What is your opinion on the case if I were unable to to work if I had someone that could guarantee that she would have a job waiting for her when she arrives? One of my former bosses owns several restaurants and would be willing to hire her as soon as she arrives as I have a very good relationship with him. If I have my information correct, once she comes into the U.S. with an IR-1 visa, she has immediate authorization to work. If I supplied some kind of letter from him guaranteeing a job on top of my co-sponsor would that be a decent amount of evidence that she would be unlikely to become a public charge?

Yes I understand. I would assume the doctors I was seeing would say that I could back to work because they didn't find anything and never said I couldn't work but with the symptoms I was feeling I just didn't feel comfortable with doing that. I do feel that I'm improving though. In any case the joint sponsor would indeed help us out if we were in the worst case scenario where I couldn't work and she wasn't able to find a job. Plus I do have other family as well that understand my situation that are willing to help. I'm not entirely sure how to convince the consulate officer of that though.

Yes, I do have a well-qualified sponsor plus I plan to write a letter in the Affidavit stating that I live with my family, that my wife will be living with us as well and that I don't have to pay rent which makes cost of living much cheaper. Plus I'll explain my whole situation and that I plan to look for work soon. My issue is mostly dizziness stemming from a previous COVID infection, probably not enough to expedite anything but at the same time it does make working pretty difficult but it's gotten better slowly over time.

Well I don't mind explaining a bit. I got COVID back in 2022 and I've been dealing with some issues from that ever since, mostly dizziness. Some days I feel normal but other days it can flare up although slowly the flares are lessening in severity. That's the reason I haven't attempted to work. I was still studying and worked in warehouse before I got sick so the dizziness wasn't something I could really overcome at that time to do my job well. When all this began I still had insurance from my job. I went to the doctors, did a bunch of tests, but they didn't find anything where they could give me a real treatment so I've just been sitting and waiting ever since. I cope with the high cost by just not going to the doctor and hoping time can help me recover what I used to be.

Will my current health situation make it more difficult to get approved?
-
That's good to know. Do you think if I did decide to push myself to work despite my issues that it would be a red flag that I waited until the "last minute" so to speak to work again?
-
So it's possible they just hold the decision instead of outright denying it? I didn't know they worked that way. I guess that's better than nothing. I will make an update whenever it happens.
-
Yeah I can imagine it being seen as a red flag to an interviewer but, in my opinion, I always figured that was the point of giving people the ability to find a joint sponsor, for cases like these. Right now I just paid the fees to the NVC and in the process of filling out all the forms so I don't have a date for the interview yet.
-
I don't have health insurance at the moment. I was planning on getting health insurance when she arrives. I'd get it now if I could but I'll have to wait until November for that. I do have a good amount of money in my bank account but it's just not enough to qualify alone. I'm hoping that they take that into consideration along with my joint sponsor even with my current situation.
-
Unfortunately I've been unable to work since the beginning of the 2022 due to some health issues. I haven't applied for disability because I don't think it will be permanent but it's just been a very slow journey of progress. I've been living off savings and an inheritance but I do not reach the threshold for assets alone for the Affidavit of Support. A good friend of mine is willing to co-sponsor with me and he very easily reaches the minimum so that's not an issue. I'm wondering if my health situation will make it more difficult for my wife to get approved during the interview as I'm sure they're going to ask why I haven't worked in a few years. Will it matter since I already have a co-sponsor?

Mine was just approved today. I received the notice via email. Thank you to those that responded to me when my case timeline got all messed up on their site. -
Yeah I figured it didn't actually disappear in their system but it just didn't let me view the case at all. It's actually doing the same thing today as well.

Did anyone else just get a really long estimate after the original estimate?
-
It's just crazy. You've been waiting for your I-130 to be approved since Aug 2022?
-
Thank you! I actually did respond in that threat I just found it weird how my case "disappeared" for a day and came back with that estimate and I wasn't sure if other people had that same experience of the case "disappearing" for a period of time.
-
Yeah I'm hoping so as well. Did you case "disappear" as well at all? Mine basically disappeared off the site for a day and then when I logged in today it showed up again with that new estimate.
