hi there! 

 

I have submitted an IRI case, with my husband sponsoring me. Our case is now at the NVC and we are beginning to fill out the next steps, including the information for financial evidence (AOS). My husband is currently unemployed, but begins his job in September. We are hoping that he will still be able to sponsor me, with the hope that my interview in Montreal is after this date. Because it is already June now, what are anybody's thoughts on this? Should my husband's parents (in the USA) be sponsoring me instead of my husband, or will the timeline be ok?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ideally rule of thumb says that current income does matter, BUT the CO can take into consideration your husbands full financial/work history. If he is frequently unemployed or traditionally doesn't make enough a year to sponsor you, they can ask for a joint sponsor even if his current income would be over the requirement yearly. If your interview is a month after your husband starts working, and he's been out of work for a while, chances are you will be asked for a joint sponsor.

Personally I would have your husbands parents as a backup plan and already get that talk started to make sure they are okay with sponsoring. 

Your husband will ALWAYS be your primary sponsor. They will want to see tax returns. How much did he make for 2018 tax year?

Your husband must be the primary sponsor. If they deem his income is insufficient, they will ask for joint sponsor. 

 

Sounds like he has a job offer for September. You guys can try submit that and see if they're good with that. If not, like I said, they'll ask for joint sponsor.

NVC will want a valid I-864 from a qualifying sponsor and joint sponsor......but it will be up to the consulate officer when deciding the public charge consideration.  I would definitely have a joint sponsor I-864 ready.  Good Luck in your journey.

To me, it seems that you need a joint sponsor. Even when he starts working in September, he has no W-2s until next year. He only has his paystubs as proof of income. Have a joint sponsor and avoid all the hassle.
