Adding Joint Sponsor after NVC approval

[vig.ie 2]

NVC 'documentarily approved' the I-864 and has sent it to the Mumbai consulate for interview. However there was a note that the consulate officer would decide regarding the income requirement since I was a student the previous year and they suggested adding a joint sponsor.

 

Since it has already been sent to the consulate, should I add/upload the joint sponsor documents through the NVC site, or just take them to the interview? I am concerned that adding a joint sponsor through the website now might somehow regress the process.

 

Thanks in advance.

Interview.   Uploading to NVC will cause a delay in your interview

Take it to the interview. The NVC has no authority to decide anything. The CO at the interview makes the decision. Technically your application for a visa is not made until you appear at the interview in person. At that time, you can submit a new I-864 with new info if you want to.

I might've made a mistake then. I added my father as a joint sponsor, but wanted to confirm with you guys before submitting the form and supporting documents. As you can see I didn't hit submit yet but he's on there now. 

 

At this point, would it be better to continue and complete the submission or leave it alone?

What would be the best course of action at this point? 

 

If you submit to NVC you are automatically delaying the interview by about 1 to 2 months because they will need to document qualify again

Have I already caused a delay by adding him? Meaning will it sit in limbo if I don't complete the submission now?
