Got "DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED" with a 'Case FE Review note'

[bubu. 0]

We submitted the I-864EZ. On tax returns, our 2023 income was around 30k, 2024 was around 50k, and the current estimate is around 130k. (1st Jan 2025 -31 Dec 2025)

Will it cause issues during the visa, as we are not expecting an interview before May 2025?
We did provide his employment verification letter, but not the pay stubs.

We got the following message:

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. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. 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.

You say you submitted the I-864EZ, but then the note says there was a I-864 and I-864a.  You did one or the other, but you cannot use the EZ version with a household member.  Who is the household member, and why are you combining income with them?  Why is your estimated "current income" so much higher.  Consular Officers will look at the totality of circumstances.  We cannot tell you if you'll have a problem without knowing those circumstances and accurate information.
