Document Qualified with FE note: This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant

[mike_b2020 14]

I recent got document qualified but also with this FE note: 
“This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants” 

 

The petitioner does have enough income to fulfill the requirements, but from what I’m seeing, since we’re outside USA, foreign income is not considered in this case. 

 

Has anyone else ran into this and how to proceed? One option I found is to submit another joint sponsor living in US (family member or friend), and would that be submitted to NVC again or just bring it to the interview 

 

Trying to see what the best approach is without causing any further delays 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Simplest thing is to get a joint sponsor lined up and carry the paperwork to

the interview. The note you received is routine in this other circumstances .. the  NVC is leaving it up to the IO to decide. If they decide the income is adequate.. all good ! If they decide its not, you avoid delays by having the joint sponsor paperwork  all ready. Hand it over when you are asked for your documents at the first window .. that way the IO has time to look it over before actually interviewing you.. that was our experience too … First thing IO said to us was “looks like your petitioners income is fine”.. as he handed back all the joint sponsor documents

Thanks, this was really helpful. 
 

So to confirm you did NOT submit the joint sponsor to NVC, and only brought the docs to the interview which they were ok with?

Correct. You would not have DQ if they needed you to submit it on CEAC. Usually there is a note on the post from NVC telling you to either submit it to NVC or take it to the interview.

In that case I’ll bring it to the interview 

 

Thanks again
