CR1 and income question

Hello everyone and any help is much appreciated.

I have a fairly complicated situation so I'll try to be clear.

I am in the process of filing a CR1 visa for my foreign spouse abroad. I am a U.S. Citizen. I make around 50,000$ a year as a 1099 contract employee. After writeoffs and deductions it limits my taxable income to around 13,000$ a year. So I was able to get my father to joint sponsor my spouse.

My Father makes around 90K a year in his normal W2 job. However, he has 2 side businesses in which he shows a loss each year, bringing his taxable income to pretty much nothing. I'm very concerned now that due to this reality, he may be disqualified as a joint sponsor.

Does anyone have advice for me? Experience with this? I'd hate to go through this whole process only to be denied based on both of us making legal use of the tax code.

Thanks for any help!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
