I-864 Question

I have questions about I 864 requirements. I submitted I 864 and is approved by NVC. Our interview location is Mumbai. I am making over $30,000/year currently, but my income in 2017 was around $25,000, 2016 was $15,000 and 2015 was $10,000. I submitted all threes years of W2, tax returns, pay stubs for last 6 months, and bank statement balance showing over $40,000. 

Will I be required to submit joint sponser or is this enough to get my visa approved? 

Also, I have not received my visa date yet. CC Complete Nov. 21, 2018.

The ability to support is normally determined by your CURRENT income, not income reported in past years.....The CO ultimately decides whether you will require a joint sponsor, but if your CURRENT income is comfortably above the minimum, I wouldn't worry about it.

Not sponsoring this guy in any way but I got good information from this guy's video about this.  You need enough savings if you don't make enough money.

Possibly. It really depends on the officer looking over at your case. I would have one as a back up just in case.

Like I said on “Case to complete January” it would be good to have a backup. It may not be required but what if like me, they ask for it at the last minute? I made more than you last year, but still was asked for a joint sponsor. Like @britishandusa and I said, have a back up plan. Because it really varies by who’s interviewing you. 

 

My hubby had two rounds of interviews. The first CO approved everything. The second CO (we think he’s the superior) told us to bring the sponsor and handed us 221(g). It’s completly up to you, but lately visas are getting harder to get by, so why give them an excuse to delay the process? There’s a saying, “better safe than sorry.” Good luck!! 🙌☘️

And quite often will ask for a joint sponsor unless all three past years' income is above the minimum.  That's Mumbai specific, not generally true.

Is this requirement for mumbai only? Does it mean that I need joint sponser?

That would be the safe choice.  Just bring the affidavit, supporting documentation and Citizenship or LPR status documentation to your interview in case they ask for it.  They can then evaluate and decide on the spot.  If they don't ask, don't provide it.

 I have sibling (my brother) who is willing to help. His income in 2017 is above the poverty line but not enough in 2016 and 2015. How should I use his income to help me meet the poverty line for 2016 and 2015?
