You can find another joint sponsor, or try to work a part time job to get the income you need. The visa will be available once you meet the required income. It is not rejected forever, it is only on hold temporarily. 

The interview date was on April 17, the last day of tax so in a hurry i just filed my tax without waiting the another 1099 form from my second job, than I made  a tax  amendment and my my income is increased now

Now with new gross income I even do not need a joint sponsor, but my lawyer said that he does not recommend me to show my amended tax because consulate can hesitate and think that I was made this  purposely after the visa was denied 

and it can be like tax fraud for them

PLEASE ADVISE WHAT TO DO?

Well, only you know if you increased the income for immigration reasons or if it was a real adjustment. If it was a true adjustment, I see no reason why not to submit the updated AOS and defend it in a side letter. If you can find a better joint sponsor, of course, this will be better.

Hi Guys,

 

I just got an RFE (Request for Evidence) for the F2A petition that I filed on Dec 12 2016 for my wife.

 

They are writing that that there are some alterations and/or changes occurred in my Marriage Certificate which is not properly documented by issuing authority make the document unreliable and insufficient as evidence.

 

And they also asked for more information to prove the Bona fide  marital relationship. Please advise what do I have to make sure of. Thank you in advance for any help.

You should consider anything written on the RFE as a point to be refuted. See if there are more cases of marriage certificates from the country you got married, and if there is something handwritten, try to get an original without anything handwritten, with the names and last names that match your name and last name, and the one of your spouse. If either of you took the last name of the other one, then get something that proves exactly that.

 

Here is an extensive post about bona fide marriage evidence, it is not for F2A, but bona fide marriages is an issue across all types of spousal petitions.

 

Basically evidence there is a real marriage, even when not in the USCIS guide of bona fide evidence, you also can consider sending photos, but financial mingling is the one that USCIS values the most as most meaningful.

Hi,

 

something has changed about when NVC gives out IL. Last months there was no movement till about the 10th.

Now, we have 1 week movement only. Las months VB moved as expected eventually. No one can say what`s going on,

but there is a good chance that the VB will move more later in the months as it did last months. Why they stopped giving out IL earlier as they used to do over the past years , and If it is temporary, no one knows... Good chance it will move again around the 10th.

 

Also, the VB got following additional text:

The Department of State also has available a recorded message with visa final action dates which can be heard at: (202) 485-7699. The recording is normally updated on/about the 10th of each month with information on final action dates for the following month.
