love2007
I have been folloeing this site ever since my husband filed for I-130 in new delhi and I must admit this is a great forum and the people are real helpful. I thought I would be posting my visa experience in new delhi embassy so that it may ease out the pressure we people go through before the interview. anyways m concern to post this here is I had my visa for CR1 on 20th april and the process till now was smooth no hassels so far tha embassy people did not ask for an additional documents in beetween these three months but when i went for my interview they gave me a221g saying


MY HUSBANDS INCOME IS NOT ENOUGH TO SPONSOR ME

The tax paper my hushand filed were for some 30,000 dollars for the year 2005 but the accountant save the taxes showed some losses around 20,000 dollars so the gross income left was 10,000 dollars.
even my husband was not aware that its not the whole income for which u file the taxes but the gross income which is left after the deductions.

now they want me to submit papers with a joint sponsor . But my quetion to you all is now m husband has filed the taxes for 2006 as well and that is more money what is required to sponser a spouse so can we instead of joint sponsor file the tax papers for the year 2006 would that be fine.
PLEASE HELP

I AM NOT SAD BUT ANGRY THE EMBASSY SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR THE PAPERS EARLIER THEN MY CASE WOULD NOT HAVE DELAYED

Which affidavit of support does the embassy require?

Did they say that providing 2006 income taxes would be sufficent? This is a very important question you need to ask directly of the embassy and will determine if you need a co-sponsor or not.

Also, it seems they don't generally review information until the point of the interview so they would not have had an earlier opportunity to inform you of this situation. But the information regarding support is clearly spelled out on the instructions.

The instructions for the I-864, for example, make it 100% clear that total income is considered:

For purposes of this affidavit, the line for gross (total) income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when determining income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040 EZ,the line for adjusted gross income will be considered.
