The process at the consulate was pretty smooth and most of the consulate workers are friendly and helpful. The entire process for my wife took about 2.5 hours the questions asked were those that can be found in previous reviews so I won't repeat those here. But like someone stated before, this consulate is looking to give anyone they can a 221 g form. My current income is over 50k I just graduated college and got a new job(I submitted current employment letter,paystubs from last 6 months) my income from last year is lower but still above the poverty line, if you look at all the guidelines,Instructions, rules etc. for USCIS and NVC the petitioners current income and the income from last year is the only thing that should matter. Nope, this consulate gave my wife a 221 G saying we need to get a joint sponsor and that they need ORIGINAL 1040s and W2s from the joint sponsor. And according to the call center staff at us travel docs it can take 60 days to review the documents that have been submitted. My recommendation if your current or last years income is anywhere close to the poverty line or if your income significantly increased over the past year I would get a joint sponsor ready.
