Our situation:
(Adam) US petitioner unemployed with low current income but has assets (stocks) value of close close to six figures. Files i864
(Bob) US father of petitioner who is retired and has pension and social security and moderately passes household of 3 (including wife and intending beneficiary but not petitioner) minimum to support. Files i864
(Jane) US mother of petitioner also retired and files taxes joint with above husband Bob, with her lesser income from social security. Files i864a
My understanding of the directions and advice on here is that it is recommended that spouses of joint sponsor should file i864a. From directions, it is acceptable for them to have separate addresses as well. To be clear they own two homes and live close to one another.
So we uploaded all the proper documents like tax transcripts, social security benefits letters and pension letter, stock brokerage statement, birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc.
I was confident that we had done everything correctly because I closely followed directions of i864 and i864a but we logged in and while petitioner and joint sponsor documents show as accepted, there were two message notes that they said Jane (wife of joint sponsor Bob) does not qualify as a household member and should be added as a joint sponsor. They also said that the joint sponsor (Bob) needs to upload all 1099 and schedules.
Had anyone experienced this? Can someone explain what is going on? I used the NVC inquiry form to ask for clarifications on this and for a re-review.
