If you have already had your interview I think you are over the hump.

hi robert&karen and thank you for your quick reply. we are assuming we won't be getting an interview since our case was transferred to CSC..

If you get an interview you will need to find a joint sponsor. If you don't get an interview you might be okay. Technically you should update them though.

There's no statutory requirement for the sponsor to keep USCIS updated on their income situation, either before the AOS is adjudicated or after it's been approved. The law does require that the affidavit of support be sufficient both when it's submitted and when it's adjudicated, but USCIS policy is to infer that it's sufficient at the time it's adjudicated if it was sufficient when it was submitted, and if it's been less than a year since it was submitted.

They don't have to tell USCIS that their income situation has changed unless they get an RFE for the affidavit of support.

Our case was also transferred to CSC but months later we received our interview date just last week.
