RFE for AOS

[Phil and Reem 0]

Hey everybody,

I received a RFE a few weeks ago, and it's asking to submit extra evidence to support my original Affadavit of Support that I submitted with the AOS package, letters from employer, paystubs, etc. The issue here is that a majority of my income is benefits from the Veterans Administration. I don't think DHS would accept such a form of "income", so I was considering submitting- along with all of my supporting tax info- a cosponsor affadavit of support from a family member along with all of his tax info/supporting docs.

Do you think DHS would accept the new co-sponsor affadavit along with all of my supporting tax info, or is it too late for that? Secondly, is there anyone else here (calling all veterans) who have been successful listing VA benefits as a source of income on your affadavit of support?

Thanks a million.

If you are in doubt about them excepting VA pay just back it up with a Co sponsor as you mentioned. It's not to lateto do so.

Whether it's too late to do so depends on the RFE. If you are within the time frame allowed to respond, it's not to late.

I can't answer the question about VA pay, but I do know that it's certainly NOT TOO LATE to add a co-sponsor at this stage, when responding to the RFE. You can state on your cover letter that in order to further illustrate the financial support, you have obtained a new I-864 from a joint sponsor, and that the support is attached. It will definitely be considered.

Good luck, and know that an RFE is not the end of the world. It's really not as bad as it seems... Take care and hang in there!!

That's great to hear- and they (USCIS) would still require the co-sponsors tax info and supporting documents along with pay stubs/letters from the empoyer/etc, correct?

You all are awesome, thank you!
