Question affadavit of support

i married an american citizen and we have decided he is going to come to my country and apply at the american consulate here, I called them and we talked about income, my husband is deaf and gets ssi and i have a job to go to i said that to the officer on the phone, she said well we would have to look closely at that because if he divorces you , you will have no money to go home, actually she was very negative I wondered what is their policy, he cant help being deaf and i can only work 40 hours a week i have 2 kids to take care of as well, can they decline you if you have a job and are doing the best you can, or decline u just incase u break up with your husband in the future? it hardly seems fair to me, discrimanatory if u ask me, I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this? id appreciate it

Where is 'here' and are you referring to Direct Consular Filing as it is
unofficially known?

If you live in UK, for instance, your husband will need to consider how
he answers immigration questions at the port of entry if he is not to be
denied entry (immigration may infer that he may be attempting to gain
entry other than as a tourist).

Also, if you are considering applying for Direct Consular Filing, you
should be aware that some Consulates (US Embassy in London for example)
do not allow this procedure unless both applicants are resident.

noo im in new zealand and it was the american consulate here who advised me to get him to come here from the usa so that we can file here for the spousal petition they said better to do it here rather than get him to file in the usa, so it was them who told me to do that after I called them to see what we needed to do, so that is not a problem and he will just be here for a month on a visa waiver
