So that means I can not do the form I-864 and provide my current income and assets?

Hello there.

I recently applied for CR1 visa for my wife from Hong Kong and submitted all the forms I-130, IV fees,etc. I also sent all the documents through email such as birth certificates, I-864ez form, last tax transcript from 2015,etc. Since I am qualified due that my wife is from Hong Kong and the process is faster. When I filled my taxes I put my mom as a dependent (she is living abroad and I was supporting her, now she got married and is doing the same process as me)and expected that my income from last year (24,000) 2 household size was going to be enough to qualify for filling the form I-864ez. However,I received an email saying that my AOS form didn't qualify and it was under the poverty line. I called the NVC and told them about my situation and they said that Since I added my mom into my taxes my house hold was going to be 3. My mother, wife and myself which I didn't understand due that I got married in 2016 and my wife was not as a dependent in 2015.In 2016 my mother got married and she didn't needed my help anymore, she is not living with me and I supporting her in September 2015.I told the nvc about this situation and they said that I have to either wait to fill out my taxes next year or get a sponsor. Honestly nobody wants to take care of this situation and have the responsibility of our actions for 10 years or until my wife becomes a US citizen. i have an 8000 dollars car that I am still paying for, and my estimate of income this year is of 22,000. I know that I can qualify if I do my taxes next year and reach the poverty line, but I don't want to wait. So my question is if I can fill out the form I-864 and put my car as an asset plus some money that I have in my back account in order to reach the 3 household size poverty line amount of 25,200?

This is the letter that I got from the nvc.

For electronic processing, all forms and documents that we request and require from you should be scanned and e-mailed to NVC as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The documents should be sent as attachments with your e-mail response and not in a web file. NVC is unable to process documents submitted in web files. Forms and documents should not be mailed through the postal service. The applicant must present all original forms and documents to the Consular officer at the visa interview. Failure to present the required originals at the visa interview will result in a denial or delay in obtaining a visa for the sponsored applicant. Any questions regarding your petition should continue to be directed to NVCElectronic@state.gov.

PLEASE NOTE: No interview will be scheduled until ALL of the information requested has been emailed to the National Visa Center.

______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

We reviewed the Affidavit of Support documentation you sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). According to the current poverty guidelines, it does not appear you or any of your sponsors meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant(s) for this petition. To avoid delays, you may have an additional sponsor complete an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and provide it to the intending immigrant to submit at their interview. At that time, a consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement.
