Hmm okay. Well, thanks a lot! At least we have a few options to consider now.

Oh I see what you’re saying. Do you know if having W2 for past years showing stable income from same employer could perhaps help convince the CO?

Oh then I suppose we could wait for him to get a new employment, would delay our timeline by a little. However… By documented, do you mean recent pay stubs from his future new job? How many months of pay stubs would be needed to qualify him without issue? Say if he got employed 2 months before the interview, couldn’t 2 new paystubs + past tax returns /W2s…etc. (showing he had a stable and sufficient income in recent years) be considered sufficient for us to safely withdraw our joint sponsor? On the other hand, we would move forward with our joint sponsor if he hasn’t gotten employed by that point.

Hmm. We hadn’t thought about this. Is there a reason having a new employment creates doubt for the CO?

Isn’t there any time limit or deadline for submitting the required docs to NVC once we receive the approval and the invitation to create an account?

Situation: Husband (USC Petitioner) recently laid off from job just before I-130 approval (Consular processing). Tax receipts of last 3 years show sufficient income, but due to current $0 income, we would have to use a joint sponsor to meet requirements for the NVC (any other option suggestions are welcome). Reason: It can be expected that he will get a decent job by the time the interview is scheduled at the consulate (which will probably take at least 5 months). We really do not want to put this legal burden our joint sponsor if we can help it. Question: Is it possible to update the Affidavit of Support (I-864) to withdraw our joint sponsor after documents are approved by NVC and just before scheduled consular interview, and make the petitioner the sole sponsor for the immigrant? Could it negatively impact the visa approval? Following is only information we have been able to find on this through official sources:
