Guys Let me explain everything from beginning:
I am a US citizen. I got married in Punjab India on Dec 20th 2009.
Base on their requirement i have to lived in India for minimum 90 days, So I submitted my petition in USCIS Office in New Delhi on April 14th 2010. after the waiting time period.
After 2 month requesting by email my wife schedule to interview on July 31st at 9am.
She got her medical done on July 17th 2010 in Ludhiana, Punjab.
She got her interview done on 31st & they said they will send her passport with visa with courier the time package arrived there were a letter in package that requested i-864, Tax Return & W2 again. so base on their letter i provided them everything. without my W2 form, Because i am self employee & i dont have W2 form so I wrote a letter with it to explain that. Also i added a Bank Reference letter & Bank Statement, Submitted everything to VFS center in Jalhender.
But now i got another letter from them it say:
We are unable to issue your visa at this time. Section 221(g) of immigration and Nationality act(INA) prohibits the issuance of a visa of anyone who has failed to present required documents or failed to meet the requirements of United States law or Regulations governing the issuance of a visa. The Following Remarks apply in your case:
Please provide the Documents which have been marked below.
Thanks for your submission, however I-864 submitted by you does not meet the poverty guidelines, you need to submit Original Form I-864 from a joint sponsor with a completed tax return form last year, and W-2 forms, (if the petitioners income does not meet federal poverty guidelines) also include the joint sponsors proof of US citizen or legal Permanent resident status.
Originally signed Form I-864A from the joint Sponsors household member(s).
so guys please help me, i am applying this case by myself why i need a joint sponsor & form I-864A??
my wife is seriously depressed there alone. i need to get her here as soon as possible.
Please help me.
If your income is not over 125% of the poverty line, you will need a co-sponsor. A co-sponsor can be anyone and must be a USC.
If your income is not over 125% of the poverty line, you will need a co-sponsor.
And the income must be from a US-based job. Apparently jattboyz87 doesnt have a US-based job, having lived in India for 90+ days.
A co-sponsor can be anyone and must be a USC.
Or a permanent resident.
Base on their requirement i have to lived in India for minimum 90 days,...
That requirement is only if you do Direct Consular Filing. Instead of DCF, you could have filed the papers with USCIS in the US without ever having to spend a day in India.
Because i am self employee & i dont have W2 form so I wrote a letter with it to explain that.
You should have sent 1099s. Or IRS tax transcripts.
You are self-employed, but apparently your work is not done in the US. Thats where the problem lies. They want to see that you can support your immigrant spouse when both of you are living in the US; non-US employment doesnt demonstrate that.
Approved I-130 but section 221 (g) got in it
