Interview

[Haroun 0]

My spouse had an interview in Casablanca, Morocco , but unfortunately she was asked to provide I-864 joint sponsor. This document was not required when I submitted the documents to NVC since I'm sponsoring my spouse,

Not sure if that was because of our first born child abroad in Morocco, 

Please Any explanation regarding this matter will be very appreciated, 

Thank you in advance!

NVC only does a basic review of the I-864. The CO makes the final call on the public charge concern based on the totality of the evidence. It sounds like the CO felt that your I-864 was insufficient (in either income/assets or documentation of it).

Presumably you did not meet the requirements.

So look for a co sponsor that can meet the requirements and submit that information if it was requested.

for 3 you need $25,975

CO in Morocco tend to look at line 37 the adjusted income not the gross

so, no matter if that is correct to do or not,  they say "get a cosponsor"  so u have to

the child is not an issue/  he is a USC

Current income for an employed person does not come from a tax return.  So line 22 or line 37 is irrelevant.

Depends on what they said exactly and the context.  The tax section on the I-864 has nothing to do with current income for an employed person.  It does for a self employed person.  My answer fits the context of "current income" for an employed person.  The I-864 instructions have always said to use "total income" from the 1040 form or AGI from an 1040EZ.  Often line 22 and line 37 of a 1040 show exactly the same number, but sometimes they are different.  Either way, current income does not come from a tax return for an employed person.  It comes from a pay stub or employer letter.

In some articles, they said that If you didn't submit your I-684 to NVC, so you have to present it in the interview. In your situation, because you hadn't applied for I-684 so your wife had to show them lter in the interview

sorry i had no paystub

i have investments and taxes paid on money when i earned it so now i only pay taxes (line 37) on the interest and even though i get monthily checks and live on over 150,000 a year, i was told at gate at embassy my income was not enough because of line 37

the casa embassy uses that

and in 1st place i said on here I said it may not be right that they do it,  but they do

NVC was fine with my income 

but i had to fight embassy 

Casa sitll uses line 37 and does not look at W2 for many / that is why they are asking for cosponsors

Recently they asked for one from a man making $45,000 (2 people)

it is just this embassy / you are correct but that is not the way casa looks at things

Your timeline indicates your visa was issued within days of your interview, more than three years ago.  You are not an "employed" person or were not at that time.  Your circumstances do not match those of the OP.
