yea it say i need a sponsor which i am trying to do now,but i dont know all the document needed when using an asset and SSA

First off, if your joint sponsor lives alone, he or she files for a household of TWO. The joint sponsor and the intending immigrant. The USC is not counted as part of the joint sponsor's household unless the USC is a dependent of that joint sponsor.

To use both assets and income the joint sponsor fills out their annual income under part 6.2 and again under part 6.15, then under part 7 the joint sponsor would put any assets they have. Since your joint sponsor's using land, you fill out the appraised value of the land minus any loans/mortgage on it under part 7.2 and 7.4. This asset amount must be five times the difference between the joint sponsor's income and the federal poverty guidelines for his/her household size.

Besides the usual evidence/proof needed from the joint sponsor, for the assets, he or she also needs to submit the appraisal of the land, deed or anything showing proof of ownership as well as a letter from the bank showing whether or not there are any loans.

Also remember that it's up to the discretion of the CO whether or not to accept assets in lieu of income. You might wanna have another joint sponsor lined up, just in case.

Refer to the instructions for filling out a I864 to know what required information and documents you need.

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

If you still have trouble filing out the form ... or if it is complicated, you should ask the assistance of someone who knows what they are doing or hire a professional immigration lawyer.

i so much appreciate ypur time and your effort,you ve actually a solution provider,i am totally satisfied with your write up,i will be lining up a standby joint spinsor should the co refuse or ask me to get another one,the person who was my sponsor before have 2 different jobs which can be use and they are above the required poverty guildline but we cant use them now because he is just 2months in the second new jon and that is the reason i am using this present joint sponsor,i will take your advice very serious and work out what is need to be done,once again i appreciate your effort.thanks

We received this exact same notice after being told our case was closed. We were expecting the next contact from NVC to be our interview date but got this instead. We have many times the required assets so getting this notice was a shock. I called the NVC and was told that the interviewer at the consulate decides whether or not to grant a CR1 visa based on assets alone. The NVC rep said they send that letter out to all asset-based filers so they can have a co-sponsor ready at the interview "just in case."

They also asked us for a police report that we already have (with nine months remaining on its validity).

So it states that you will need a sponsor to fill out a new form, as a joint sponsor, and then bring it to the interview ... this includes the form and any and all financial documentation and evidence.

does this really mean a new sponsor or i just need to add one more sponsor?should i have a case complete to proceed for interview with the new sponsor i864?or should i submiy a new sponsor back to nvc?

The letter says "you may need a joint sponsor", doesn't it? That's what our letter said and when we had our interview, the embassy seemed to accept us using assets, as they have asked us to send a little more in-depth information on them before they issue the visa.

- Either you can have a joint sponsor sign an i-864, get an IRS transcript etc and send to the person going for the interview. Then you prepare all the backup for your assets to bring too. Then once you're at the interview you present your assets and if the embassy say they won't accept them, you say you have a joint sponsor and hand over all that information. OR.....

- You have a joint sponsor on standby but don't ask them to do all the work yet. Go to the interview and hopefully they accept your assets but if they don't and say you need a joint sponsor, you'll get a 221(g), you go home and ask your joint sponsor to do the i-864 and IRS transcript etc and send to the embassy with your 221(g) letter.

We did option two because it was just too much work for our joint sponsor having filed taxes as married filing jointly and all that if it wasn't necessary plus from reading on VJ and being in contact with the US embassy in Sweden, there was a high chance they would accept assets. So I suggest you read up on your embassy to see if they seem to be favorable to assets or not. Have a look at the Q&A or FAQ part of the US embassy in your country, as that's where we found out how our embassy felt about assets.

Good luck. Hope you have a smooth interview process.

Regardless,

You will want to be as prepared as possible so that if the officer does not accept assets or something, that you will have Plan B to fall back on. I personally would prefer to have everything ready to go as far as a joint sponsor at the interview ... I'm not happy with delays and waiting longer than needed. but it is your choice.

As far as the I864, you are not out of the woods. You will need what they requested and bring the originals and copies to the interview. The interview officer will determine if what you provide is sufficient or not. The results will either end in approval or a delay until you provide sufficient information. If you are unable to provide sufficient information/documents, then eventually, it will end in denial.
