January 08 filers

[dkrivosheyev 0]

my packet was received at chicago on Jan 21st...it got cashed Feb 05th..... has it taken so long for anyone out there as well...... when can i expect the NOA1.

We mailed ours on January 29th, received on January 30th. So far checks are not cashed yet and no NOAs.

it says that "we must submit all Federal income tax documentation submitted to IRS for the most recent tax year."

we have all the document of 2007 ready.

I think we will just make photocopy of them and send them out.

i guess they really want the 2007 one since it mentions "the most recent tax year" which is 2007 right?!

The most recent tax year is the one for which you have a completed tax return at the time of filing, or that's how I saw it. If I get an RFE for the 2007 tax return, then I am wrong I guess.

Fingers crossed I don't.

I thought that you were one of the last ones to sent out the package in january, but I guess not. I dont know thats is pretty strange why they would ask you for your recent tax transcripts. Maybe they will ask all of us january filers eventually hopefully not. I guess if you havent done your taxes for 2007 you should hurry up and do them and send it to them fast so your case can resume asap. Another question to you, have you done your taxes already, maybe they checked with irs and saw something???

Wendy,

I went through the same thing with USCIS with the same RFE. They told me after speaking to an IO that 2006 taxes are ok as long as they are submitted before March 1 2008. They want proof of employment i.e. paystubs etc. I included them already with my original submission, they must of misplaced them. So I would recommend, 2006, if you have 2007 doesn't hurt, and proof of employment, such as a recent paystub or letter from employer.

Hope that helps,

to Hgill

Thanks so much.

I will send out the 2007's tax document and my husband's January paystub together.

Give it a few days. They come in seperate envelopes - so they could have gotten seperated in the mail.

I think its about 6 or 7 months for a Green card right now. Seems like 2-3 months for EAD and a month for Biometrics. Everyone is different though.

hello everyone

I got REF today.

It said my husband need to submit the current tax returns.

We submitted 2006 tax return.

But i guess they want 2007 one....

but i am really not sure what they really want since we have all tax document of 2006 sent

i thought 2006 one will be ok

but in the REF, it says "In order to process your application further, submit evidence of the sponsor's current income.

so 2006 one is not current enough for them???????????????

Hey wendyleigh I got an RFE as well but because I didn't submit an I-864 for my husband, I only submitted one for my sponsor. So I called the 1800 today and they told me just to send one from my petitioner but nothing about recent tax returns, which worries me a little I wouldnt like them to send me another RFE, I am sending my response to the request first thing tomorrow. When did you sent out your aos?

Nelly, I am in the same situation like you. We sent all from co-sponsor but get a RFE for I-864 for petitioner, but we are asking us if it's necessary to send income tax??? Due to in the RFE letter no said nothing about income tax. How do you resolve that? We're in a hurry. We don't have previous income tax?

I think that a tax return is required in the instructions of the I-864. Read through the instructions and it will tell you what you need to include.

We recieved all three NOAs yesterday. I have a question though - is there separate biometrics appointments for I-485 and I-765 or they do them all at once? Looking at NOA1 for I-485 I see Application Support Center Code 3. However, on the NOA1 for I-765 the ASC Code is 2. Does this mean we will have two different biometrics at two different locations?

In my biometrics appointment comes both case numbers. I've read that when they take the fingerprint only for EAD, they take it from the thumbs of both hands. In my case, they take the thumbs and all the fingers from two hand. First hand by hand, next finger by finger.
