Received DQ but also message saying This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor...
Just received DQ from our CR-1 application submitted May 18th.
However, despite being well above the income threshold (income above $130,000 for only spouse visa) we also received a message stating:
"This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p."
Several possible reasons for triggering this message; 1) I just moved back to the US from working overseas for the previous 10 years and did not submit W-2's as they were not available from foreign employers; 2) I just started a new job and while I did provide a salary letter from my employer I only submitted last month's pay-stub; and 3) I filed an extension for my 2022 tax return.
Thoughts and advice on how to proceed? I would very much prefer not to get a co-sponsor. #dq #interview

@K W you should have atleast the threshold income for last three tax year. even though u made billion dollors last year but failed to make required threshold money back 2 years they you still need supplement j.
you can submit proff of salary from last two years.
its is reuired by law that you should have minimum threshold for last three tax year.
also if u are usc then it is required by law to submit your worldwide income and file tax to irs

i did submit past 3 years tax returns, again showing foreign earned income well above threshold. additionally I submitted evidence of co-owned US property with my spouse (applicant). not certain they even looked at it. we do expect an interview to be scheduled and our plan is to fill out the 864 co-sponsor form and bring it to the interview and present it if the IO needs additional support. from reading others experiences it seems the IO will not require this.
