the interview date is about to come to many things/questions running in my head? i wanted to ask does having co-sponsor denies entry to US, i wonder because my husband is 22 years old ( student/part time working student and does not have sufficient tax and) though our i864 is approved since father has $54,000/yearly income and he is my co-sponsor on this process (cr1).. what does consulate ask since during interview about financial? and should i tell them that he is staying here at the mean time since he havent paid the overstaying fee from immigration and im the one working for him so i can get him out? ( and w.o the exit clearance US embassy cant finished the crba process to for my daughter) any help or assistance is highly appreciated.
I am confused. Are saying that your co-sponsor is/had been denied entry to the U.S.? If so, find another co-sponsor because I believe they have to be USC/Permanent Residents to qualify as co-sponsors.

Who is Required to Be a Sponsor?
If you filed an immigrant visa petition for your relative, you must be the sponsor. You must also be at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. You must have a domicile in the United States or a territory or possession of the United States. Usually, this requirement means you must actually live in the United States, or a territory or possession, in order to be a sponsor. If you live abroad, you may still be eligible to be a sponsor if you can show that your residence abroad is temporary, so that you still have your domicile in the United States.
Who can be a joint sponsor, and when is a joint sponsor allowed?
If the visa petitioner's household income is not sufficient to meet the requirements of INA section 213A and 8 C.F.R. § 213a, INA section 213A permits a joint sponsor to sign an affidavit of support, in addition to the affidavit of support signed by the visa petitioner. A joint sponsor is someone who is willing to accept legal responsibility for supporting your family member with you. A joint sponsor must meet all the same requirements as you, except the joint sponsor does not need to be related to the immigrant. The joint sponsor (or the joint sponsor and his or her household) must reach the 125 percent income requirement alone. You cannot combine your income with that of a joint sponsor to meet the income requirement.

I don't know how strictly can be Philiphines consulate about having a co-sponsor. But in Mexico we didn't have any problem for the approval of my visa.
Good luck.
