Could joint-sponsor's lack of financial evidence lead to visa denial?

Thanks for all the replies. They are better explained than from NVC of embassy stuff...

My father-in-law also doesn't think emailing is safe...

I think we have enough assets and will just use the petitioner's I-864 as proof. 

 

And if that works, great.  If not, Father in law has let you down, big time.  Requirements are requirements, no matter what people think or feel about them.

Thanks. He might just genuinely believe it's not safe to mail or email personal tax info abroad to a civilian in a strange country.....or he has his own reasons...whatever it is,  we don't want to make him do things uncomfortable with.

Priorities, priorities, priorities........good luck in your journey and your interview at AIT.

Me and my wife are applying on assets only, we are a decent amount above the 3x amount for IR1/CR1 in liquid assets. We's still mildly concerned, my wife is studying and I'm the one who has been working/will be working during her studies. I don't know if it's different for you because you have already submitted incomplete paperwork but there are people who are approved on assets. 

 

I've also made a packet of evidence of my employability (work/study history, documentation of a job interview process I'm currently in with a company in the US, screenshots of other contact from recruiter's I've had passively), showing them that we don't intend to use the assets as I'll be getting work once I arrive.

 

Because of our concern we have joint sponsor paperwork ready to go in case they reject the assets, unfortunately we didn't have the required tax documents in time to submit during the NVC process but we have it all now. We used Fed-Ex priority shipping to transport secure documents across the world - they have always arrived very quickly and it's very clear that they have not been tampered with in transit.

 

My interview is in a couple of weeks, and obviously it's country dependant but I'll update you how it goes.

Using assets works but it is always a judgment call.  This petitioner indicates the assets are only slightly over the minimum required.  That makes it a far more difficult judgment to make.

Thanks very much for your shared story. Looks like we are in a similar situation. I wasn't that much aware of the weakness of just using asset until got reminded in this forum.

We'll try our very best to find a job or at least a lead of a job in the US before the interview, meanwhile we'll see if we can still get joint-sponsorship.

Thanks very much for the reminder. We'll think about what else we can do.
