The  joint sponsor for my husband salary is $66,000.00 . My husband will the the 5th person as his dependant.  His wife makes $30,000.00 . Immigration stated that with the wife as a Co Sponsor they will meet the poverty guideline, because the husband does not meet poverty guideline. I read about poverty guideline and for 5 people it says the poverty guideline is $38,000.00 

How do you calculate the poverty guideline ? Please let me know if the husband alone meet the poverty guideline for my husband?

Thank you

Hello and greetings to you all,

I am an American Citizen who have filed a spousal visa for my husband. My husband already went to his interview at the U.S. Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago on December 4 ,2020 . The only thing the Immigration Officer stated is that he needed a joint sponsor since I do not meet the income requirement for my husband. We found a joint sponsor and we sent the  documents requested. Immigration refuse the joint sponsor because they also do not meet the income requirement, their income for that year was $10,200.00 . 

2ND JOINT SPONSOR :

We then found a 2nd joint sponsor and we sent all the documents requested by the US. Embassy (I864 , Tax Transcript, file jointly with wife W2, US ID) 

Immigration is now asking for the joint sponsor's wife since they filed jointly for 2020(w2,  immigration status and I-864A, marriage certificate) I spoke with the joint sponsor and he told me that his wife does not have a w2 that she works freelance as a baby nurse , and as a wife she is a home maker. Their INCOME combined will meet the poverty guidelines. 

The husband's income was $65,300.00 on the transcript their total income per computer is $95,300.00 

THE JOINT SPONSOR WILL HAVE 5 PEOPLE TOTAL INCLUDING MY HUSBAND. I am not sure if the person at the embassy knows what they are doing! We don't understand how his annual income of $65,000 is not sufficient. 

I NEED TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING :

1. if the wife does not have a W2 and there is no 1099 . The only record of her income was on the transcript that the husband provided for 2020
2.  Can we use both sponsors for income, the husband and wife filed jointly and the first sponsor can I use their bank statement as assets?
3. The 2nd sponsor sent me a letter to attached with his wife documents explaining why she does not have a w2

CONCLUSION

Will not having a W2 for the wife hurt our case? Do we still have hope if the Joint sponsor does send a letter to immigration explaining why his wife does not a W2. 

HOW CAN WE WRITE A COVER LETTER EXPLAINING ALL THIS TO IMMIGRATION. ANY TEMPLATE IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU 

I did get a joint sponsor and we submitted the documents. on the CEAC site when I checked the status again . it says DOES NOT MEET 213A. I am getting frustrated! Our joint sponsor has an LLC. She is more than qualified.

What is going on?

My husband did tell them that I uploaded my assets on ceac . And I also emailed them to tell them that my assets were uploaded on the CEAC site. They replied back from the U.S. embassy to tell me that I had to reload it again because it did not appear. The assets are my 401k and my  savings account 

Maybe it's best I wait for a joint sponsor then. Thank you!

My husband did his interview on december 4th. The counselor told him that he needed a joint sponsor to get the visa. We were not denied , we just need to either show our assets are above the poverty guideline or we need to get an affidavit of support. I was told by the embassy in Trinidad to download the assets information and then I needed to send them an email once it is completed. Any advice? My assets are above the poverty quidelines. for 3 people I meet all the requirements because my assets are above it
