Joint Sponsorship anxiety

My wife has just received her notice to schedule her interview at the embassy. Currently I don't have taxable income so we have a joint sponsor to help us get my wife home after us being separated for two years. On December 22nd we received a notice that our income wasn't enough and we need to add an additional joint sponsor.

My current joint sponsor has an additional job they began working in June of last year and should pretty easily pass the guidelines. The current Guideline for Sponsorship is $45,725 for a household of 5, on of those 5 being my wife. Their Tax returns for 2024 show them having $49,358 which doesn't include a whole year of the additional income (as it started in June and therefore only represents half a year). Now that seemingly clears the guidelines unless I misunderstand something but I still worry. The additional half year of income would add at least another 20k to the income bringing us up to around 70k which again seems sufficient.

The notice we received worried me so I spoke to our attorney and was told that sometimes second job income can be accidently ignored and that since the tax return we submitted was 23, that the second job wasn't on there making it look like we don't have enough but that the proof of employment and paystubs we sent in should be enough to prove we have enough. I recently sent the attorney the aforementioned 2024 returns, W2s and paystubs just in case. The attorney told me not to worry and that If I can, find an additional joint sponsor so I can feel confident but that he doesn't believe its necessary.

I still worry immensely that this will all end up in a mess or a rejection or any other catastrophic outcome im sure we all have feared for ourselves. I wanted to know if anyone else has been through something similar and could give me some insight? I already sent the income documents via email for my wife to print up and show in the interview as evidence just in case. One final thing, our case was recently approved for expedite and so I am trying to make sure it all works as quick as possible to get my wife home and get things back to normal.

Hello,

I am working on submitting i-864 and having trouble submitting supporting documents. I am not sure if it is just me or if everyone is experiencing a similar issue of invalid image detected

I tried multiple browsers, resizing the PDF to under 2 MB, printing it, and resaving it as a PDF via browser. Nothing seems to work.

I appreciate your suggestion.

Thank you.

People waiting for loved ones from dangerous countries, how are you holding it together?

My wife is in myanmar right now. I'm Scared for her safety all the time. There are bombings across the country, violence in general. If you have a family member in a similar situation how do you keep it together? From what I've seen on here it seems my wife could be hit by a bombing and still not receive an approval for an expedite plus I don't even know what evidence they'd accept either. How do you cope with the constant worry? The fear? Is it really all just grit your teeth and keep going? Is there anything you do that actually helps? I filed back in August and it seems like every month I do a little worse at keeping myself calm.

N-400 - should I even attempt?

Hello, everyone. About 12 years ago, when I was 10, my parents were sponsored into the US by my uncle. I was then approved for a green card. Two or three years later, my parents left the country due to their parents' urgent medical conditions and brought us along with them. I never returned to the US for just under 8 years after that. Then, January of 2022, I came back via SFO airport and was held back for questioning. Over the 3 hour process, I was grilled on what I had been doing over the 8 years since I'd left, and had to pay a $585 fine to fill out and submit an I-193. They also put on my passport, "ARC OUT 8 years, ACH RES REQ's". A month or so after that, I went through the green card renewal process and got the renewed green card about 8 months later.

I am currently a software engineer working in Seattle. I have not been in so much as been in a traffic stop, and file my taxes fine every year.

In about 2 years and 6 months, my 5-year continuous residence will be up and I plan on applying for naturalization then. It is hard to find people with similar situations to me on the internet, and different sources say different things, ranging from

  • Don't worry at all and submit, they don't care about your travel history past 5 years.
  • Submit, but expect a lot of questions and a possible denial.
  • Don't submit at all, they may look at your past travel history and decide you shouldn't even have gotten a renewal and may give you a notice to appear in court and deport you.

My questions to the knowledgeable people on this sub are:

  • When submitting my naturalization, do they care about travel past 5 years?
  • Will the stamp on my passport give me problems (should I put that in with my application)?
  • Are they able to look up travel information from that time I was out of the country, and will that cause issues?
  • Do I need to hire a lawyer when I start my naturalization proceedings?

Thank you very much in advance.
