Joint sponsor: need immediate help

[Alimohammad]

Hey
I sponsored for my wife and my income for 2012 was more than 21000 which meets the minimum requirement for sponsorship. I had only 10,000 income in 2011 and did not have income in 2010. My wife had interview on 9/4/2013. She was denied and asked to have a joint sponsor because the income I have provided is not enough. I do not understand why they refused when it meets minimum requirements. Please any advice? What should I do? Do I have to find a joint sponsor for my wife or something can be done with what I already have. Thanks in advance for your time.

You will want to find, preferably a family member, to assist with being a co-sponsor. Even though you meet the for just 1 year they want to see steady income for support. The co-sponsor will need to complete the I-864A, and provide a copy of GC (front & back) or citizenship status and proof of relationship with the sponsor.
