AOS FILERS: DECEMBER 2008

[whatif 0]

wackodacko, whatif, soancika+brian - thanks a lot! W., candyace - congrats on the card!

wow, things are moving fast here!

whatif, you will get it soon and answer fast and things will move quickly!

Hi all,

well,I need a little help. I just got the letter for the RFE and I am.... stunned....

They are asking for the most recent tax documentation in order to process my application further.

I believe,that when we sent out the package we included IRS documents for years 2005,2006 and 2007.

Was I supposed to also sent IRS documents for 2008? By the time we sent it we still didn't have that done,nor we didn't have the information since the most recent year was 2007(for 2008)

I am a little confused....Am I supposed to send now IRS for 2008?

Thanks for your help guys...I am discouraged...

I am confused also. When you filed, the most recent tax year was 2007, so that is what should be sent it. I can't imagine that they are going to ask you to send in your taxes for 2008. I would think that we would all be getting RFEs for this since we filed around the same time, and that is a lot of extra paperwork for them. I don't think they can penalize us like that for choosing to file at the end of the year. Hopefully the part of your AOS package that had the tax info simply got lost or misplaced and they need the documents replaced. Good luck, keep us posted...

Thankyou for your input Oneil's. I am totally confused and I really don't know what to do.I am afraid of sending out again the same information about taxes and get it refused.

Congrats to everyone!!

I got the RFEs about the tax before... I went to the field office and confirm with the IO there. They told us that just send everything again and organize that like a package...

Remember that if you sent a IRS transcript, you don't need to send 1099s and W-2. If you send a copy of your tax file, you need to send the ORIGINAL of all your 1099s and W-2.

Try to follow the instruction on the RFE and understand the instruction which the RFE refers to.

Hmmm..were any of your previous tax returns near the "borderline" of the poverty limit? I wonder why they are asking for this! thats insane.

Well, I finally got some good news. I received my interview letter. It is schedule for March 11th at 1030am. I'm pretty excited. The USCIS website and case status system has been worthless to me. I had/have no updates whatsoever on the website.

anyways, i rather have no updates/touches and receive my interview letter than anything else. it seems that i won't get my work permit though.

anyways,

c ya and good luck to you all

Sine tax return is not due yet, I do not think we are required to submit 2008 tax return at this point (unless the income in 2007 tax retun was below minimum or on the borderline, and there was a big increase in 2008 income). But to be safe, it would be a good idea to confirm at the field office as Bobo Meow did.

mint, I bet yours will come fast too - we're in the exact same situation! the guy who filled my papers told me they usually do it either in Garden City or Long Island offices.

mimigrant - thank you for the response. That's good to know. I hope they will schedule my interview soon...

A quick congrats to all those who got the NOA2 for the interview, wow that was fast!

I had my biometrics yesterday in seattle. Tt was a very pleasant experience. Also checked my online status yesterday and my case was finally touched (last touch was jan 7) probably because of the biometrics.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Well,

after going over all the photocopies that we made of the whole package sent, I believe that a mistake had been made although I was very clear to the person getting those tax information for us. We sent the W2's but not the 1099's. That person told us that it was not necessary.... I am going to tell him how necessary it was...my spanish blood is boiling

Hopefully I will get what was missing today and send it out again tomorrow.

Thank you guys for your responses,this journey is a lot easier with your help.

Congratulations to everyone on getting their EAD's/ NOA2's!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS :dance: ......GOOD LUCK AND BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR THE CREATING THE SPREADSHEET :thumbs:

I got my NOA2 for the interview!!!

I checked my online status everyday and nothing showed up, so I didn't care to check my mailbox this weekend. Today I had a look, and there it was! Wow, so fast, I can't believe it!

It will be on March, 10th in Garden City, NY... that's in 40 days!!! Good thing is in the afternoon 'cause I am not a morning person! Now I have to run put all documents and evidence together, I really wasn't expecting it SO fast. 42 days from my NOA1.

I wish you all get yours quickly too, or get approved if you don't have one!

It's my understanding that not everyone receives a 1099. My wife nor our co-sponsor received a 1099 for the past three tax years. If you have a 1099, submit it, but if you don't, what do you do?

you send the tax file with you, right?

I know there is a page will let you or your accountant to input the amount from W-2 and / or 1099s.

You can just base on that page to know how many W-2 and/or 1099s you need to send to USCIS. If you want to make sure that USCIS will not mis-read your tax file, you can write a personal notes or letter and telling them that you don't have the 1099s for the last three years.....

I talked to the IO and he told me that is good to include some personal notes to USCIS which can help them to know what you didn't send and what you may send later if you miss any of the 1099s

Hope this help
