We got almost the same email checklist as the OP this morning!

I need some help and or clarification if possible!!!

Our case is going to be scheduled for an interview in Tokyo, but they said 13.a.1 was wrong and that we need to bring a new I864 to the interview that matches the tax transcript for 2013.

I wrote "0" for my total income for all three years, but didn't explain that it was excluded as foreign income. Perhaps that is the problem?

Do we just explain that at the interview? It seems to be what the OP did, right? They just need to know why it's zero?

Or do I need to write a different number for the transcripts? I'm having a hard time figuring out them out!!!

Sorry for causing a split topic!

To elaborate, My wife and I got this checklist today:

I-864, Affidavit of Support Checklist

[x] The NVC recently completed our review of your visa case. While you meet the minimum qualifications for a visa interview to be scheduled your Affidavit of Support contained one or more sections with missing or incorrect information. Please review the additional instructions below then complete a new Affidavit of Support. (You can download the I-864 form and instructions at http://www.uscis.gov/i-864.) Once you have completed the new Affidavit of Support, please provide it to the principal applicant to bring to his or her visa interview. Do not submit your new Affidavit of Support to the NVC, as doing so will reopen your case and cause processing delays.

[x]

In Part 6. Sponsor's Income and Employment, please correct the following...
[x] Items 13.a.1. The income you enter must match the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal

income tax return. If you filed Form 1040EZ, use the adjusted gross income instead.

###

As stated above, I wrote "0" for all three years because I earned exclusively in Japan. After much research, I still kinda believe that that is the correct answer, so I wonder if we just explain that at the interview?

If they are expecting a different number, I'm not sure what to write from my IRS transcript. It says a negative number for Total Income. There is also a line for total income per computer that has a positive number.

I wrote "0" for all three years, but they only asked about 2013. Strange...

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes. If you filed a 1040 it's total income even if the number is negative. If you filed 1040ez it's adjusted total income.
