Hi All,
Today, my husband and I were DQ'd with the notice that our case was being sent to the consulate to schedule an interview. When I checked our messages, we also had an "RFE" come in before DQ was issued that said:
"UPGL-This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p."
I am confused as to why we are being asked for a joint sponsor. I am the beneficiary am breadwinner of the family. My job will be continuing from the same source after I immigrate to the USA, and I provided proof of this with my documents during the NVC stage, including paystubs and a letter from my employer. My income is six figures and therefore far above the required minimum income amount. Any idea if this will be accepted by the immigration officer during the interview? Based on everything I've read online, my income can be counted for household income purposes because it will continue from the same source after receiving my greencard.
Thank you
