Need help. Should applicant go back and wait for interview or should we start over and adjust status while in USA.

  • Visa Class: IR1
  • Case currently at: NVC
  • Foreign state of chargeability: Taiwan
  • Interview location: Taipei
  • Priority Date: 30-Oct-2019

I (petitioner) met my wife (applicant) while teaching in Taiwan. This process has been so slow. Here is where we currently are. everything approved except family member 2020 w-2, still waiting.

  • Applicant
    • Passport Bio page =Accepted
    • Photographs = Accepted
    • Birth Cert = Accepted
    • Marriage Cert = Accepted
    • Police Cert = Accepted
  • Petitioner (me)
    • Form I-864 = Accepted
    • Form I-864a contract between sponsor and Household Member = Accepted
    • Federal income tax transcript (2019) and (2020) = Accepted
  • Household Member
    • Form I-864a Contract between sponsor and HHM =Accepted
    • Proof of relationship = Accepted
    • Proof of U.S. Citizenship = Accepted
    • Proof of U.S. Domicile = Accepted
    • Form W-2 (2019) = Accepted
    • Federal Income Tax return (2019) = Accepted
    • Federal Income tax return (2020) =Accepted
    • Form w-2 (2020) = Submitted (16-Sep-2021)

Here's where we stand. We moved back to USA on Aug. 25 2021. The plan was to wait for the interview to be scheduled, then fly back to Taiwan and finish up, but NVC recently asked for 2020 w-2 from household member. Wife can only stay 90 days. We have no news of interview. We also had a son during this whole process. Our son is now 14 months old. If she goes back to Taiwan to wait for her interview, we have no idea how long that will be (and I wouldn't be surprised if NVC asks for another document. This feels never ending). Anyways, I don't want to go with her, nor do I want her to take our son. She will have to quarantine in a hotel for 2 weeks upon arrival, that's why I don't want our son to go with her. Her 90 days tourist visa runs up soon (November 25th). Does anyone think she should go back to Taiwan (November 20th) and wait for interview then come back, or stay put here and start the process over so her interview can be done here in USA. She doesn't want to start over, but I'm worried about being a single father for who knows how many months. Any recommendations?

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. 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 . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
