US Immigration from Philippines

Help... I'm not sure what to do.

Husband was given 221g at his interview yesterday. The interviewer requested that he get a Qualified Joint Sponsor and resubmit i-864 via courier.

Manila, Philippines Embassy has had our case for over 12 months. I had requested an expedite at NVC level, due to a clerical error which caused delays at NVC stage. So, the case was forwarded from NVC for processing at Manila Embassy. I don't believe any processing was done at NVC stage.

I uploaded documents to CEAC last January 2020, which showed that 2019 income was foreign earned income (included evidence) and included a domestic offer letter for 2020 and current paystub that indicated salary would exceed HHS limits.

When he went to the interview, he took a NEW i-864 to represent our current financial situation as of Feb 2021. The interviewer skimmed the new i-864 and returned it.

2020 domestic income met the HHS i-864p guidelines (evidenced by W2 and 1040) and 2021 anticipated income will exceed this level (evidenced by offer letter and paystub). Cash assets are 4.5 times the HHS limit for household size (just shy of the 5x required for using assets alone-- but w2 meets HHS limits, so in theory, I shouldn't have had to use the assets qualifier.)

Either of the i-864s (Jan 2020 or Feb 2021) should have been sufficient to qualify, because both evidenced income with an offer letter and paystub indicating salary exceeded HHS limits. But, the Feb2021 i-864 included a domestic income for prior year, while the Jan2020 one had foreign income for preceding year.

As far as I'm aware we don't need a Qualified Joint Sponsor because the Petitioner meets the HHS income guidelines on the i-864p. I don't actually understand why we were given this 221g...

So what do I do? I don't have/don't want a joint sponsor.

I've emailed the embassy and left a message with their message service... but I'm not holding my breath for a reply. Manila Embassy has had our case for 12 months, and in that time they've only ever replied to 1 email (out of a dozen).

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! We are supposed to have our interview on March 17, 2020 but was canceled. I've been trying to reach the US embassy to reschedule but to no avail.

I am curious who among those who had canceled interviews from March 2020 to present (and were affected by the PP10014) already rescheduled or was issued a new interview date from the US embassy?

Let us update each other here.

Thanks!

Aloha. We just got our interview notice and schedule for my Green Card. My wife is my sponsor, and my Father in-law is my Co-sponsor. In the letter one thing we need to bring is the Form I-864. which say, "If required, a completed Form I-864, with all the the required evidence(unless already submitted.)", which we already submitted during our application.
My questions are :
1)My wife have a different Job now and different employer. Its not the same employer that we indicated in the form I-864 that we submitted. Do I need to do a new I-864?
2) Do I need to bring my wife's new paystub ?or the old one is good.

3) Do we need to inform the officer about the change of Job?

Thank you so much

March filers, it's our time to shine! Good luck!

When my husband submitted the I-864, he was living and working in the Philippines. He is now back in the US with a new job. I've read of some sponsors submitting a new I-864 to reflect a better income. In our case, although my husband still makes way above the 125% poverty guideline requirement for our household size, his new income is lower than the old one. Does he need to submit a new one to update his income? I found the below on the I-864 FAQs here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#aos10 and thought maybe we don't need a new one after all. Thoughts?
