Thanks for the encouragement! I've sent in the documents required and the CEAC website shows that the visa status has been updated today. It's still under "Administrative Processing", though. So we'll see how it pans out.

Just sent in additional documentation on my assets as well as a cosponsor's I-864 and documents. Hopefully, this provides more than enough proof of eligibility for sponsorship. Waiting to hear back from them.

Thanks for the tips. I found a joint sponsor with income that's not high enough but have assets that meet the requirement. The joint sponsor has a joint bank account with his wife that can be used as proof of asset. Is it okay to just have him fill out the i864 or does his spouse need to as well? They file taxes jointly.

Since I didn't include my bank and stock assets in my I-864 because I thought my Chinese income would be enough, would it be possible to revise my I-864 and add my assets?

I have savings and assets in the US but I did not list them in my I-864 because my Chinese income is way more than the poverty line.

Thanks for the tip, Randy. When you mention writing a letter, do you mean snail mail? Or email? Which email? Can I just call them? Also, for the I-864, I haven't included my US assets. Will they reconsider knowing I have US assets such as stocks?

So my wife just got back from her interview at Guangzhou for her CR-1. We were going through the DCF process. She received a Final Processing Letter along with a green slip that wants her to get a co-sponsor. Here's my situation: I came to China for work 5 years ago and joined a startup. But my income was non-existent for those years and had very low AGI reported on my previous years tax forms. In 2015 (this year), I found a new job at a big Chinese company that pays above the poverty guideline for sponsorship but the consulate officer says they do not recognize my income from China. I also have a signed job offer from a US company that I will be working for in a couple months with high income and the officer says the job hasn't started yet so they don't recognize it either. I think it is pretty absurd. I can't find a cosponsor right now and I am asking for advice of what to do next. Some ideas off the top of my head so far: 1. Change my tax form info from last few year and pay additional tax to get a higher reported AGI. Will IRS allow this? 2. File a complaint with USCIS because I am not sure why they don't recognize my income from China. 3. Write to congressman and seek help What do you guys think? I think it's very strange that the DCF process requires me to be living in China and now they say they don't recognize my Chinese income when it comes time for the interview. WTF?
