what's the failure rate?

[kungfupaul]

This is my question .If a person's income is low enough that a co sponsor is used. But the co sponsor meet's or exceed's the amount required. How often are visa's denied and on this, and what ground's would the V.o use for this denial and how could you over come it .I am very concerned about this but my co sponsor does exceed the amount asked for with assest's as well Thank you for any response and a little reasurrance would help me out

I think I should have added this to get a better response as well My job I currently have this year has all ready provided me with more income than i show for last year as well I will far exceed the required amount with this job will this be considered as well

You have a co sponsor that meets the financial requirements. I am no expert, but it sounds like you should be in the clear.

If current income exceeds the guideline, you don't need asssts nor a Joint-Sponsor.. in fact, most of the language about this states "you may not have" one.. see below for I-864, but I've seen this same language so many places that it should be understood as applying to the I-134.

 

I-864 Instructions

"If your total household income is equal to or higher than the minimum income requirement for your household size, you do not need to provide information on your assets, and you may not have a joint sponsor unless you are requested to do so by a Consular or Immigration Officer."

If you want to bring one as a backup to the interview, in the case she is asked for one.. then go ahead and prepare one.. but don't offer it unless it is asked for.

Hi David well I know I recently made a post similar to this but it was before i know my full situation with my taxes so that is why the new inquiry and different question about it thank's

[david_dawei]

sorry... I think I mis-read some of your statement.. I thought you said you meet it...

I've never run across anything stating failure rates...

 

Essentially the burden is to prove to a VO that the beneficiary will not become a public charge.. and financial documents of 'sustainable income' is going to the best proof... but they are supposed to consider the "totality" of the circumstances to include the beneficiary's health, education, work history, etc...

 

But, I think the bottom line will usually be the income levels provided on I-134(s)/I-864(s), and that they appear permanent and ongoing income.

 

i wouldn't stress this... Joint-Sponsors are not uncommon... Like everything, have the "i"'s dotted and the "t"'s crossed...
