El Salvador IR5 Visa for mother in law

[Jackhouser18 0]

Hello! Today was my mothers in law interview for an IR5 Visa based on my wifes citizenship. Unfortunately we got a 221g. We also have a Joint Sponsor who is a US citizen who makes the income by a fair margin. They said they need us to submit another I864. The latest tax transcript as well. The thing is we already had submitted those back in April to Ceac when doing documents qualify. They want them again for some reason and the 221g just said for sponsor it did not specify Joint Sponsor or Petitioner Sponsor.

 

They are also asking for some new documents like proof of US domicile and W2 for 2024. ( which is thought W2 is only needed without tax transcript)

 

Any reason they would be asking for the I864 again. It was dated 8 months ago so I was wondering if thats the reason.

you should have received instructions to bring the documents to the interview / all the documents submitted to NVC are to be taken to interview

 

both the sponsor and joint sponsor need to provide proof of US residency (state DL is what we usually send )

We brought all the Financial documents to the interview minus proof of US residency and W2 for Joint Sponsor. But they didnt ask for them. They just gave the white 221g. And im wondering why we need to resubmit a new I864 on ceac?

Because they are not convinced the joint sponsor is eligible. Make sure to submit everything

Is that why they are asking for W2 now? Because they think they may not be eligible? The joint sponsor is my brother and petitioner brother in law and made about 75k for a household size of 1 plus the immigrant of course. US citizen living in US with no sponsor history.

Yes, you need to provide all docs to establish eligibility. If something is out of order, you'd be in admin processing. What all did you provide in support of main sponsor's I-864 and joint sponsor's I-864?

Have you provided proof of US citizenship / LPR status for both sponsors?

When you add a Joint Sponsor to your account on Ceac it makes you add the proof of citizenship which we did back in April of this year. But just to be safe Im going upload both passports for main and joint sponsor.

Yes, you’re supposed to take all documents to the interview that you uploaded to CEAC. It’s in the instructions - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html

 

Just province everything they’ve asked for and hopefully you’ll be approved soon. 
 

Good luck.
