Thank you for your reply! Based on 2021 tax file the sponsor misses by only a couple of grand, mainly due to covid business downturns over winter. I don't know how confident we are lol, I mean together we satisfy the requirements but its still worrying as we didn't mention the immigrating spouses assets, didn't think it was required/necessary but maybe it is.. Is the DQ based on the beneficiaries documents only? Should we expect an interview date still, based on Sydney consulate the wait for interview times is loooooong like 6 months? Also there was no time line to submit the joint sponsor/household member documents so wait 6 months for maybe an interview then provide evidence?. Idk, it's a little overwhelmingly mysterious tbh. I like that you said this message will not delay DQ and interview tho , a glimmer of hope, thank you for you knowledgable support, I appreciate your reply and all your inputs I have read on other topics, very helpful.

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.

No not yet, waiting waiting.

thank you for the clarification, appreciate your help

We received the dreaded RFE - This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants at NVC stage. After researching, it seems the intending immigrant spouse can use their assets to make up the financial shortfall. Which form is the way to do this, do we have to resubmit the I-864 with the additional information at or does the intending immigrant who is the spouse of the petitioner able to be added as a household member therefore file a I-864A???? I don't know which way to go so I thought i'd ask here. The NVC portal does not have the option to re-submit a new updated I-864, it only has options for add a joint sponsor or add a household member. The Travel state website says you can Can the immigrant visa applicant count assets that he or she owns that are outside the United States, such as real estate or personal property? Yes, under the following conditions: The assets must be convertible to cash within 12 months. The applicant must show that the assets can be removed from the country where they are located. Many countries have limits on cash or liquid assets that can removed from the country. The net value of assets must be at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty guideline for the household size. The visa applicant needs to file a Form I-864A to have his or her assets included in the minimum income level calculations. but the I-864A instructions say Item Numbers 3.a. - 3.d. Assets. Complete this item only if the sponsor is using the value of your assets to help meet the requirements of the affidavit of support. If you are using only your income to help the sponsor meet the requirements, do not complete this item. If you are the intending immigrant and have no accompanying dependents, then do not list your assets on this contract. Instead, you must list your assets in Part 7., Item Numbers 6. - 10. of the Form I-864 and do not need to complete this form. Confused, would appreciate any suggestions
