DQ but recieved a FE notice

[ckkta 0]

Looking for a bit of advice, have recieved my DQ notice but an additional FE notice which from searching this site is pretty standard.

 

'The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. 

 

A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as:

 

* Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.'

 

So advice I need is on the situation: my partners previous 3 tax returns fell just short (around 6k over the course of 3 years in total) but this year due to a promotion in January she has an expected income of $30k (she is hourly so month to month can vary). We previously submitted her paystubs, a letter from her employer confirming the new role and another letter confirming an expected approx gross salary by the end of the year. 

 

As per the notice we have recieved we are going to add in further payslips, will this be enough to prove current income to the CO officer? Would there be anything else recommended?  

 

We are not in a situation to get a joint sponsor, however we are in a situation where she has over 30k in cash, and I have over £200k liquid assets in the UK. Do we complicate things by inserting these at this point as I know all advice always says rely on income first? Or do we upload evidence of this now as a back up? Bring it with me to the interview instead? I just don't want to delay the situation any further and its hard to know what the right avenue is.

This was kind of sadly predictable based on earlier threads

Joint sponsor. I know some folks on VJ would be promising good results with assets, but you had over a year to secure a qualifying joint sponsor.

Thank you, this is good advice and your of course correct that would be the best option for anyone in my postion if they wanted to ensure their visa was accepted! However not everyone has access to many people earning over the amount who are willing to take on the legal liabilities of sponsorship. This is why I stated it was not possible in the post - you have to work within the confines of what you have! 

 

Anyway, I think this missed the point a little, the question I was asking was less about assets and more to do with the request for FE of current income as from what I understand that is the first thing taken into account and if sufficient - payslips/job letter - is there a point in adding additional evidence of other types?

Current income is King in this context, so even just one pay stub showing year to date income that is current as of the interview date, should carry the day at interview.  The message you received is a stock message sent anytime the latest tax return does not meet the minimum.  That they DQ'd the case anyway, and the "suggestion" that you "may want" to get a joint sponsor are the key portions.  Personally, I would not want to obligate a joint sponsor unless absolutely necessary.  It's not.
