Hi, I'm posting with a question to see what happens in a certain case:
1. A spousal I-864EZ petition is approved by the NVC, and the interview date is set.
2. The sponsor used to have a job that meets the NVC income requirements, and becomes unemployed before the interview.
I have a few questions:
A. Is it possible to have a joint sponsor file a I-864 alongside the existing I-864EZ, or does the I-864EZ have to be discarded, and the parties would have to start from zero?
B. Assuming the paperwork and income were verified and approved by the NVC, is that a major stopping point at the consular interview?
C. If the visa process were stopped in the consular interview due to insufficient income, what could happen to the process? Would it be better to reschedule the interview and not face that risk?
D. I'm reading the Ineligibilities page on the State website. It says under "Public Charge,"
I read 204(a)(1) and it looks like it's dealing with people who are already living inside the United States. But I have no idea what "clause (ii), (iii), or (iv)" are. Does anyone know what that refers to? This doesn't mean that, once the spouse assumes responsibility for the applicant through the Affidavit of Support, the applicant can't be excluded on that basis, does it?

In general. Any alien who, in the opinion of the consular officer at the time of application for a visa, or in the opinion of the Attorney General at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible.
Any alien who seeks admission or adjustment of status under a visa issued under section 201(b)(2) or 203(a) is excludable under this paragraph unless the alien has obtained status as a spouse or a child of a United States citizen pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) or section 204(a)(1)(A).
