Hi,

We are trying to finalise the arrangements for a joint sponsor as I (the USC) currently reside in the UK, do not yet have a confirmed job in the US and all our savings our in the UK. As both myself and my son our USCs it's only my that needs to be sponsored.

There are a few potential joint sponsors we know in the US. One of whom is a close family friend who is prepared to be the joint sponsor. However he was in Grad School till 2013 and for the past 3 years his tax returns do not show an income greater than $19,662 (he lives on his own so the sponsor household size is 2). Since leaving Grad School in 2013 he has been in a job that pays way over the required amount and this will be shown when he completes his 2014 tax return. However our interview will be in late Feb/early March before he completes the 2104 tax return.

Even if he submits evidence of his current income (which is over the requirements) we do not think that will be sufficient as the tax returns for the past 3 years will show an income under the requirements. We therefore think that he can not be a joint sponsor Can someone please confirm if our thinking is correct?

US Embassy London is pretty relaxed. If she can show almost a year's worth of paystubs, and a letter from the employer, I think you will be ok, especially if you and/or your husband have experience which will likely lead to a job in the US too. Be sure to lsit your assets, even the UK based ones, too.
