US Immigration from Nepal

Situation: Husband (USC Petitioner) recently laid off from job just before I-130 approval (Consular processing). Tax receipts of last 3 years show sufficient income, but due to current $0 income, we would have to use a joint sponsor to meet requirements for the NVC (any other option suggestions are welcome).

Reason: It can be expected that he will get a decent job by the time the interview is scheduled at the consulate (which will probably take at least 5 months). We really do not want to put this legal burden our joint sponsor if we can help it.

Question: Is it possible to update the Affidavit of Support (I-864) to withdraw our joint sponsor after documents are approved by NVC and just before scheduled consular interview, and make the petitioner the sole sponsor for the immigrant? Could it negatively impact the visa approval?

Following is only information we have been able to find on this through official sources:

Hello VisaJourney Community,

We are filing our I-751 soon as the 90 days mark is coming up for our case.

A short context about our living situation:

After my spouse arrived to the US, we lived together in my parents house. This is the address we used in all of our previous forms with USCIS.
We briefly moved out in January of 2024 with a 6-month lease. Then, we moved back to our parents house after our lease ended, because we wanted to save money for a house together and wanted to spend some time together before they moved to a different state.

In January, they made the move and we had to make a quick decision. Thankfully, one of our family friends let us live with them as paying guests. We moved in February and are responsible for a portion of their rent and utilities. The utilities only have one person s name on the account (my spouse s) because that s the only way we could set it up. Our bank statement, the car insurance, and other relevant documents have our current address.

So, as for the evidence of cohabitation, I can share about my time at my parents house and the lease agreement from our short rental.

My question is: how can we prove our cohabitation for the current address? We don t have a rental agreement as we are paying guests. If we asked our family friend to write a letter, what could we ask him to include in it to prove our cohabitation?

Thank you,

parami

Hello,

just wanted to start this tread to start conversation and case tracking of I130 filed on October 2024.

I filed for both of my parents on 10/6/2024.
one application sent to TSC and another to VSC.

date filed: 10/6/2024 (online)

NoA: 10/6/2024

My visa journey shows CSC working on DEC 29th cases but the average time of approval is around 15 months. Is it accurate that CSC is working on cases with PD or NOA1 around DEC 29th? Please drop your PD and service center if you have recent approval for consular process.

My wife's mother case got DQ from NVC today. we are 3 in the family now she sponsoring her mother total household size will be 4. when I check poverty guidelines for household size of 4 the income needs to be $39000.she alone makes $40800. so that's the reason there is no joint sponsor. but case got DQ and at the same time got this message please assist

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.
