Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 27, 2026 Embassy Review : For the interview I was maybe asked around 5 questions very bluntly and then told that my joint sponsor did not make enough money to meet the financial requirement. I was caught off guard by this as I know my sponsor makes more than enough so was not prepared to argue my case on this issue, and did not memorise the ins and outs of US tax laws and paperwork. After I left and looked over my sponsors tax documents again, I realized that the officer most likely only read the amount stated on the W2 and not the Form 1040 that we had also submitted. If he had checked this he would have realized that we easily met the financial requirement, but the 1040 was never mentioned. Also, the documents had already been accepted on CEAC so I'm not sure why they waited until the interview to tell me that his income would be a problem. If they'd told me at any point before the interview then I could have come prepared with an explanation. In any case I am not sure why they would ask for a Form 1040 if they do not read it. So as a result of this I was given my passport and other original documents back and a green 221(g) asking for his tax transcript or another W2. The instructions are vague and I don't really know where to go from here. Rating : Very Poor

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
