Gross income is what is used, not net.
 
If you use a co-sponsor YOU are not counted, just him and your fiancee.  = 2.

hey i know this post is old and your response is enlightening, thank you. So we are talking about gross? I have a joint sponsor who's household size is 1. My fiance and I are two. The past three years I have worked but have been unemployed since March 2020 (pandemic layoff). I am currently working in Colombia as an English professor. My returns for 2018, 2019, 2020 have all been above the limit for two people around 29,000 per year. Although last years income was almost all unemployment. For this reason, I am seeking a cosponsor which is my best friend. He has averaged about 32,000 for the past 4 four years. This current year 2021 his income is around 16000 YTD because he took some time off due to the passing of his mother. He is set to make around 24,000 gross income, but his net will be a lot less. Do you think this will matter or do they take the gross into consideration? Thank you and sorry for the long drawn out explanation. 

Gross income, not net.

You have to keep checking everyday to see if slots open up.

Moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures.

Yes. Everything for the past 5 years. 

If you only have one, easy-peasy, just put it on the form and DONE.
Believe me, you are gonna have to submit A LOT MORE info before all is said and done. smile
 

This should help tremendously:

Thank you very much
I appreciate your help very much

Looking what is happening elsewhere a lockdown does not seem unlikely.

No one can predict what King Biden will do. Embassies are processing K-1 but only certain ones as they have deemed their area at a lower risk of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and can proceed.
 
You shouldn't have a concern for the expiration date on your NOA2. Your current NOA2 is valid for four months but can be extended by the discretion of the embassy in four month increments to a one-year total. With the current situation, I see no problem with you being able to proceed to receiving a visa in the NOA2 period of one year. Nothing must be done by you for the extension. When your embassy opens again, they will address this.
 
The Ireland US Embassy states the following which I believe will hold true for most embassies moving forward.
If the fiancé(e) visa petition expires, you may revalidate the petition with a letter from the petitioner stating that you both remain legally free to marry and that you will do so within 90 days of your arrival in the United States. You should take the letter with you to your visa interview in the future, not mail it or email it to the Embassy. 

Actually from a safety and health perspective, your better off staying in Jordan at this time.  The US situation is out of control now and getting worse by the day.  International aid organizations have now arrived in the US to help with the pandemic.  The medical center I work for has seen a rapid rise in COVID patients, much more than the April-May period.  The irony in all of this is that the US State Dept has made the decision to close the embassy in Jordan, but the same person who manages that department, is part of the team encouraging the US to remain open and not close.   

News isn't good.  Consulate has shut down completely again.

Stay calm and Wait.  There is no other realistic choice.
Please fill in your timeline.

Not much you can do, if your embassy is closed.  Even if NVC sends along approved petitions, no interviews are taking place.

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process?

    • "the man with the gold makes the rules"
    • it will take as long as it will take 
    • no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
    • Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
    • Your journey is not going to mirror someone else's experience - yours and theirs are not the same
    • They only promised you a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would be completed
    • Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

Good luck on your journey 
 

40 days is not a long time. 

Its called covid-19.   Very few k1 interviews have occurred since March.  They are backed up.   NVC is holding case files until the consulate resumes routine visa processing. 

Sure you can pay your Visa fee and answer the DS-160. You won't be able to schedule an interview. But at least you can get those two things done.

This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1 case assignment from NVC and then tracking your case on wards to your Embassy.  Contained in the PDF below are many tips, tricks, and hacks to help you along the way.
 
These are items that everyone asks for, so I thought I just post a PDF of them here for you to refer to when it's necessary. If you are new to this thread, please use the link below to read the information which are answers to the most asked questions.

Yes, there are some embassies and people who have an approved K-1 are now proceeding to schedule interview and medical exam appointments.  Some embassies are not processing yet. Depends on the status of the country and the return to "business" for the embassy.
 
Payxiba gave you a link to some exceptionally useful information that is in the PDF on the first page first post of the September NOA2 to Embassy group. Join us there and we can guide you and you will also be with others who are on similar timelines and are working toward the interview.

All visa interviews require appointments.  Are you sure they have resumed processing K1?
 
I checked the US Embassy site and they stated they have started services for certain visas since July 15.  K-1 is not on the list.  Just IR1/CR1, IR2/CR2, IR3, IR4 and "employment based healthcare professionals".

so, once your case has been forwarded from USCIS to NVC (before covid hit, it would have typically took 1 month for your case to get to NVC).
 
Then you could call NVC and ask them to update your email addresses and give you a case number to fill out DS160. 
After that NVC forwards your application to your consulate to schedule a medical and interview. However, due to COVID, there is a huge huge waitlist for interviews.
For example, in Canada, they are just starting to reschedule k1 interviews that have been canceled in March/April. 
 
If its been 4 weeks, I would give NVC a call to see if your case is there (for your peace of mind), or you can wait if its been less than 4 weeks. 
 
Hope that helps! I am also waiting for case to be forwarded to NVC. And will wait another week before giving them a call. 

The embassy will either send you the information that you must prepare for the interview that also outlines what documents to bring. They may also have it on their website so check there. Also, find your regional subforum and be a part of that conversation. Go to the blue ribbon above, select "forums" then scroll about 3/4 of the page down and select the region that most represents where your country is located.  
 
Scrapbooks are optional but the majority of beneficiary's have a few pictures together BUT NO pictures that can be construed as a wedding, a wedding party even if it is a family gathering. These spells trouble so do go there.
 
At the medical vaccines will be administered.

Hi, I hope you hear something soon. Security check is done for both the petitioner and the beneficiary. Certain names trigger a more in depth check than others, names that are the same or similar to names of criminals on the FBI list etc. Also, they are checking places you've travelled to, financial stuff, violation of any previous visa issued by the USA etc. There is nothing you can do but wait. If you and your fiance haven't done anything suspicious (not to mention criminal:)) there is nothing to worry about, you'll eventually get cleared. Good luck!
