I think we are going to do exactly what the blue sheet says and just turn in the Joint Sponsor's I864. Do you know if there is any chance that when my income is consistent (probably 2 years from now) do you think that I can become the sole Sponsor? How will we make that transition?

Thank you for the responses! My wife and I are opening a startup so we are employed but do not have a steady stream of income at the moment. The reason for my frustration is that all of the assets I provided are liquid cash so I didn't get why they wouldn't think were usable. Based on responses, I totally get that we should just follow the blue paper and provide a Joint Sponsor. Will do. However, in addition to our Joint Sponsor's I864 do you think resubmitting my documentation (I864 + asset proof) and explanation letter will help our chances or will the Officer just get confused?

My wife interviewed at the Guangzhou Consulate last week and we got the blue sheet because of lack of finances. I know that I don't meet the HHS standards but my assets are more than enough to cover. According to part 29 of the I-864 Step by Step Instructions (because I am a US citizen sponsoring my spouse), the total value of my assets must be at least 3 times the difference between our current household income and the current poverty guidelines for our household size. I meet this figure by a factor of many times. The Consular Officer we dealt with seemed to be quite inexperienced and unaware of this asset ratio and said we need a Joint Sponsor anyway. We have found a joint sponsor that meets the income requirement and can go that route BUT my questions is: Is there any point to argue our point in a letter? We are thinking we'll resubmit my I 864 and mention our points again and submit the Joint Sponsors as well. Does this make any sense? Any suggestions?

My wife is a rank and file CCP member. Our interview is next week and I've prepared the necessary letters based on Candle for Love posts and was just wondering if someone could take a look and let me know if everything looks good. Please let me know!
