Did you complete an I-864 form and did your Uncle complete an I-864 form? The USC spouse, that's you, must complete the I-864 form as the primary sponsor evenif a co-sponsor is needed. You also need to include the last three years of tax transcripts or why you did not file. The reaosn for filing must be a reference to the IRS CFR as to why you were not required to file. Zero income is not always a reason for not filing as my brother has zero earned income, but must file a tax retun every year due to investment income. So you must find the legal reason in the IRS tax code and send that in.

It is sounding like you did not complete an I-864 and only your Uncle did. If that is not the case then I do not know why they keep wanting the full name listed.

Good luck,

Dave
