I am going to call the Consulate again in Egypt and Email them. I have pay stubs now that can prove that I make sufficient income and an upcoming contract that will state what my salary will be for 2012-2013. His visa is pending at the moment. They are basing their decision on my 2011 tax returns. Is this valid for them to do. I got the impression that once a person's current income was up to parr then they are able to fully sponsor the beneficiary. Am I wrong?

Well I called the consulate in Egypt and they said they will not accept my work contract. Since my taxes were not sufficient enough in 2011 then I need a joint sponsor. They don't care about how much I currently make now. This is not fair.

I am waiting to get a contract for the 2012-2013 school year but I will get one. I hope I will be all set with sponsoring him with this.

Hi,

My husband is in Egypt and works only part time. It is just the two of us so I need to make 18,440 dollars a year. My contract for 2011-2012 is for 20k and the school is almost over. I can provide recent paystubs and contract that says that. My taxes for 2011 only are well below 18,000 because I had a different job then. I have a stable job and will be getting a new contract in a few weeks for the next school year 2012-2013. Will this be sufficent? I emailed the American Embassy and we shall see what they say.

ps,

When my husband went for his interview at the embassy they told him that we need a joint sponsor.

So I have an update about sponsorship.....and maybe good news. I went and talked to a lawyer today for a consultation and he said that I make enough money since my contract is for 20k a year. And my contract will be renewed and for more money. 2010-2011 I did not meet the 18k requirements but the 2011-2012 I make 20K it should be fine right? The lawyer said that to me but I just want to get everyone's opinion since many are you are familiar with all of this visa stuff. Let me know what you think.

Hyer a lawyer. That is so unfair for you!

Hello everyone,

My first time here on this website and I am here on to get help about getting my husband here. He was told that we need a joint sponsor in order to get approved for a visa and I've seem to have no luck finding a person. I read on a website that the residents at your house can co-sponsor? Is this true? I obvioulsy don't make enough money, can that person make up the difference? What other options do I have to get his visa approved? Desperate need of answers and would appreciate anyone's help in this matter. Thank you.
