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?
