This may seem a strange thing to post but 
    I am running into poor information some people are getting from others,   other sites and word of mouth 
    they seem to think the CO does not look at income as they don't look at the I 864 (or I 134) at the interview 
       
    i have told a few the CO sees the entire packet before the interview takes place and knows if a joint sponsor is needed   
    they have the income in front of them as received from NVC 
    also,   the CO does see if a bene brings in documents and If,     one is not there,   the CO will hand out a 221g   to say provide it 
    how, the CO knows without reviewing the "bought in documents" ,   i don't know but many have said " i had it right there and CO never looked at my papers 
       
    Please VJ community ,   let the members know the CO has final say on income   
       
    Thank u
