RFE received! Question!

[Amy&Xin 0]

I received a RFE mail requesting for the most recent year tax return. Does it mean they want the tax return forms for 2008? We filed the tax return of 2007, and we haven't filed the tax return to IRS for 2008.

Just send 2007 tax transcript again.

It'll be fine.

Did you sent tax return info with the application? if so what year? I dont think they will be looking for 2008 as the deadline to file is not until April 15th 2009.

We send the tax return of 2007. So I don't know why I still got this RFE.

I asked similar question here few weeks back, and I was advised to do my 2008 tax return quickly so I could file it with the AOS package. I would suggest doing the same - just fill out your 2008 tax return forms and xerox them, including all the 1099s, schedules, and of course, w-2s.

that is what I am trying to do. But I am still waiting for a w2 form, which was probably lost since I changed my address last year. I asked the company that i worked for to send me a new copy, but I don't know how long that will take. I am so frustrated now since I don't know how fast I can get this done, and how long this will delay the process.

To make things more clear, I am restating here of what is said on my RFE and situation of mine.

My father-in-law is my joint-sponsor even though my income combined with my wife's exceeds 125% or the poverty line, because the lawyer of ours wanted to play it safe.

I got two RFE notices

In the first notices, it says(I believe this is about the one my wife and I filed):

1. in orfer to process your application further, the petitioner/sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, must submit all supporting tax documentation(W2s, 1099s, etc) submitted to the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) for the most recent tax year.

2. for the household member's income to be included in the household income, the household member's income must have been from a lawful source and earned while the household member was authorized to work in the US.

In order to porcess your application further, submit evidence that the household member on Form i-864, Affidavit of Support or Form I-864A Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, was authorized to work in the US. Examples include one of the following:...

I am a student on F1 visa. I am allowed to work on campus. So what is my evidence to prove that the income source was lawful? Is it my I-20, or is it my I-94?

In the second notice, it says:

1. The household member on the petitioner/sponsor's form i-864, affidavit of support must submit all Federal income tax documentation submitted to the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) for the most recent tax year.

2. The household member on the petitioner/sponsor's form I-864, affidavit of support/Form i-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member must submit all supporting tax documentation(W2s, 1099s, etc) submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year.

Isn't 1 and 2 the same thing? I am so confused by this. Hope I can get help from here. Many thanks in advance.

I am a student on F1 visa. I am allowed to work on campus. So what is my evidence to prove that the income source was lawful? Is it my I-20, or is it my I-94?

If it is on campus job, I would include a copy of F1 visa, I-94, I-20 and a letter from school stating it relates to on campus job (If you cannot obtain such letter from the school, probably attach a separate statement by you explaining it is on campus job and you are allowed to work on campus as F-1 student, etc.).

I may be wrong but, even if you sent those proof, I do not think USCIS will give too much credit on your inocme from on campus job unless you can get an employment letter from the school stating that this is a permanent position (i.e., you can work for the school even after the graduation.) or you have a few more years before graduation and you can keep this on campus job for another few years. Because the instruction to I-864 said income of intending immigrant "can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident." So, it is good that you have a joint sponsor.

In the second notice, it says:

1. The household member on the petitioner/sponsor's form i-864, affidavit of support must submit all Federal income tax documentation submitted to the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) for the most recent tax year.

It seems the second notice relates to your tax return and supporting documents as you are the "household member on the petitioner/sponsor's form I-864". #1 is applicalbe if you are the only intending immigrant and no need to submit I-864A, and #2 is applicalble if you have a children immigrating with you and thus you need to submit I-864A (Probably this form is intended to be cover either senario).

Just to clarify, I did not mean it is meaningless to send a copy of F1 visa, I-94, I-20 and a letter from school. I think you should send what USCIS has already asked for (i.e., evidence that the household member on Form i-864 or Form I-864A was authorized to work in the US.).

USCIS doesn't go by the filing deadlines. Last year numerous AOS applicants received RFEs at this time of the year for the previous years taxes.

Actually, I think the second notice is for my joint sponsor, my father-in-law, cuz we didn't send my mother-in-law's w2s, but they filed tax together. they have another kid besides my wife, but the kid is married and doesn't live with them anymore. So I still don't quite get the second notice asking for besides my mother-in-law's w2 forms.

hello,

Hope u don't mind asking you some questions but before that wana tell u first how my papers go. So last january 27, 2009 we filed I-485 & I-765 or my change of status at chicago, my biometrics was done last feb 27th,09... after a month a recieve an RFE requiring us to submit my husbands recent 2008 1040s and w2s, employment letter indicating dates of employment, wages and salary, numbers of hours worked nature of the job since we only submit w2s 06,07 and an estimated numbers of 08 income tax return. My problem is my husbands job has a new policy of not giving out information of income anymore, so i decided to submit the 2007 employment letter it has everything there the same address, dates of employment , nature of the job,and hours he worked, except for the year they wrote that letter and the per hour of salary since he just had an increase. I also include my husbands recognition letter indicating of a job well done. Am confused i think thats way enough but let me know what u think

So i submit 1040,w2s 08, pay stubs, recognition letter dated feb 09, and a 2007 employment letter do u think this is enough????

thank u

If you filed a copy of the 2007 return with the I-864 you sent, I would imagine they are looking for the 2008 return. It will be ready in a few days, yes? I really don't think they are asking for a copy of the same thing you already sent.
