221g reason joint sponsor

VISA ISSUED - 13 Mar

Well, I think the tax return transcript or the evidence of financial support that you provided was based on your income in 2011 of $17500 and not on your current income for 2012 of $31750 (because you haven't file for your 2012 tax returns yet) and that is why they are requiring a joint sponsor. I am assuming you haven't filed for your 2012 tax returns in 2013 to get a 2012 transcript which will be based on your 2012 income. So get a joint sponsor as soon as possible and get the visa.

But my current income of $31750 is more than enough to support my wife , and to support my current income i had submitted all my latest payslip and employer letter and during interview day my wife even had more pay slips from the latest pay periods clearly mentioning i made $31750 YTD 2012 . But they never bother to ask me and my wife was approved during interview and they never issue any 221g during interview .

If my current income is enough to support 4 people then i don't understand what is the use of poverty guidelines .

i had consulted lawyers in US also as will have any problem i was clearly told wont have problem also same advice i got previously on this forum too and i myself believe there is some serious mistake as during interview they never asked her anything nor she was given 221g that time .

this is reg CR1 visa interview at Mumbai Consulate.

she had her interview on Jan 17 , 2013 at Mumbai Consulate and was told she is approved during interview day after few days when i went to pick up my passport thinking we are going to be issued visa stamp instead i got a 221g white letter asking for joint sponsor even though my current income of $31750 for 2012 is enough to support 2 people as per poverty guidelines , during the interview process she was not given the 221g Letter she was given after the interview she was told her visa is approved and to submit the passport which we did but now after few days after interview they are issuing a 221g letter asking for Joint Sponsor.

I positively believe there has been some serious mistake in ref to our case as my income is more than enough to sponsor my wife , i really need help as i am abroad in mumbai right now with my wife i have taken leave from my work to support and help my wife in this process.

my 2011 income is $17500 but my current income for 2012 is $31750 ,

on interview day she was never asked to submit any document nor she was giving 221g letter , her 221g letter she rec today along with passport is dated jan 18 a day after interview so either they changed there mind or they made some mistake .

her interview went very good and she was also given a white booklet with all info reg if and when she comes United States she can call helpline numbers for any help she need.if they had any problem they would have never given this booklet and also why they took her passport during interview day.

can anyone guide me as how i can contact urgently mumbai consulate.

I got mine too, it is January 15.... yahoooooo

grt you beat me in the interview date haha

rec interview for jan 17 wooohoooooooooooooooooooo

Mumbaiusa, did u get interview date? Mine I have sent my iv pkt on Nov27 still no news.

nope still waiting for the date plzzzzz i need jan date so bad tired of this long process.

you should get case approved anytime now .

why don't we add another column for the date we received interview date , it helps other future applicants to guesstimate the time frame from case complete to interview date email from NVC.

Any updates from alex, cesar, mumbaiusa on interview dates?

still waiting for interview date case completed 11/27/12

yesterday i did received the case complete email exactly 1 week later i think by next week hopefully should get a date

Still waiting for Interview date since 11.27.12

Hope i get Jan date

When did u send ur iv packet?

Nov 10

Case completed Nov 27 still waiting for interview date hope i get Jan Date

Is it true that the interview schedule preference for a case is given on the basis of priority date and case completion (for CR1 visa there are unlimited visa available yet we do have a priority date ) ????

Person A has Priority date of 4 Apr and Person B has priority date of May 4 and person B has case completed before Person A and both are waiting for interview date so is NVC going to schedule person A first over Person B as they had earlier priority date over Person B ???

Ok thanks...But it takes them like 20 days to review it right?

in my case both AOS and IV package took 2 weeks each

How do you know if NVC accepted your AOS? They send you email or just call and ask?

You have to call them they will not send the email.

Hi,

Yesterday on Nov 26 I had my interview in Mumbai Consulate at 7:30am for the CR1 visa interview. Everything was going well all of a sudden the Visa officer asks about Snaps and I showed her the album, she saw that and the Visa Officer left the place and had some discussion outside. In short I am telling that I had 1 hour and 45 min. interview by three separate visa officers starting with one blonde lady, then one Indian lady visa officer and one lady Caucasian in an interrogation room there and they grilled me left right and center. Then after that they issued me a 221(G) refusal letter stating that I need to submit photographs of the ongoing relationship, or transfer of property, joint bank account statements.

In this stage how much it will take to complete the process because I am half dead now. Waiting for the visa to see my husband. I am dying to meet him. Anyone has any idea? Please have some. :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hi Payal

Sorry to hear the interview didnt went smooth but hope you get sorted out soon .

Now u said you submitted the Photo album why did they ask again to submit pics did you had any pics for the marriage ceremony missing ???

and what bonafide docs you submitted to USCIS about your marriage and relationship (like affidavit , pics etc ) along with you I130 application ???

Can anyone share there dates when they send the IV package to NVC and when there case completed i send mine on NOV 10 it reached NVC on NOV 13 it been two weeks and case still not complete ,and my AOS was accepted by NVC on 16 NOV.

Congratulations!! Beryl and Sunil. :dance: :dance: :dance:

Hi Capri

Why did they ask your husband your TAX RETURN haven"t you already submitted to NVC along with the AOS Package ? and same about the PCC you must have submitted already right to NVC ???

Then why they asking again ??
