NVC DQ’ed my petition for my mom’s IR5 immigrant visa with a review note stating that minimum income requirements are not met despite having shown assets more than 5 times the minimum income requirement. They also stated I might have to get a joint sponsor, but the consular will make a decision at the time of the interview.
I’m a 24 year US old citizen who has been living abroad since I was 4. I have been employed as a software engineer abroad ever since I graduated, and submitted 2 years of foreign tax returns at the time of filing.
As I don’t know anyone who would want to be a joint sponsor, I relocated to the US myself with a job offer in hand. I have established domicile and have been working in the US as a software engineer for the past 5 months. My salary now far exceeds the minimum income requirements.
I am expecting an interview in Mumbai in the next few months.
Do I still need a joint sponsor?
My only worry is I don’t have 2 years of W2 and I would only have paystubs and an offer letter as income proof at the time of the interview.
@pushbrk I would really appreciate your advice on this. I noticed in an inquiry dated June 20th 2020, one of your replies stated “If you have a good job now and are not interviewing in Mumbai, then you'll probably be fine.” What do you think are my odds at Mumbai?
