HELP with I-1864A - RFE

[DoctorM 0]

Hello everyone,

I need an urgent guyz. Today I called the NVC and they informed that my co-sponsor filled line 10 in form I-864A incorrectly.

current individual annual income

Where do you get this information from? (from employee , W-2 form?)

Are they asking for annual income after taxes or gross income?

Thanks,

Did you use tax transcripts? Or W-2s?

Yo, I'd refer to Pushbrk or Christeen on these I864/tax questions.

Good luck, man.

It's income before taxes.

You can get it from your W-2 or 1040's (or tax transcripts) (which should of been provided with the 864A)

Did the co-sponsor put the incorrect value or not send in the evidence?

Federal income tax return statements!

Yes, my co-sponsor provided NVC with tax returns statement for the past 3 years we mailed with AOS package. So, basically they have all the information they are asking me about!!

The NVC said line #10 in I-186A is filled incorrectly! and asked to resend form I-864

could you tell me which line in the W-2 or 1040 that shows the total income? that should be filled in line 10 @ I-186A?

One the 1040 the number to use is line 22. On a tax return transcript, it's on page two and called "total income".

Hey everyone!

My question is regarding the same topic. Is the answer for question 10 on form I-864A the same as for question 11?

Question 10 asks for: current individual annual income. Which I believe is found on line 22 on form 1040. How about question 11's answer? It asks for: My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS Form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax returns for the most recent three years.

Please let me know how to answer questions 10 and 11. This information is for my co-sponsor. This is confusing me so much. Where do I get this information exactly? Where on the W2 or Form 1040? Which lines? I just can't afford to waste any more time! I'm sure many of you feel this way.. I hope everything works out good for you all.

All the best,

DeeZee

It's the same answer. Only if you actually filed using a 1040EZ would you use the adjusted gross income.

Hi pushbrk,

My co-sponsor said he most likely filled line 10 on the initial I-864A according to what's stated in his federal tax income (page 2). Unfortunately he didn't keep a copy to confirm what was mentioned. However he included W-2 statements & federal tax return statements for the past three years. So, NVC already have all the information they are asking for in the tax statements!

So, I don't really understand what is the mistake we did. (was a typo error?!).

NVC did not enclose excatly what they want apart from saying (line 10 on form I-864A was filled incorrectly)!

Will re-mail the I-864A tomorrow and will mention in line 10 total income according to federal tax return page 2.

Not keeping copies is a big mistake. You need to work from a "Tax return transcript" or a "tax return" not a "federal tax income page 2.) whatever that is. Terminology is the key here. Start over, do it correctly and send a whole new affidavit and new supporting documentation.

Thank you Pushbrk, I am DoctorM's wife. Our co-sponsor did not make a copy of the I-864A unfortunately, and it's caused a great confusion. We are sure that he typed in the amount on question 10 from line 22 on his form 1040. To make matters worse, we now don't even have a copy of that! So now he is sending the new I-864A with question 10 answered from total income on page 2 of his IRS transcript.

What is making it all the more confusing is that today morning an NVC operator told me question 10 is to be answered from either line 1 or line 3 from the co-sponsor's W2. Now lines 1 & 3 have the same amount and they are different from the amount under total income on page 2 of IRS transcript.

Now if things couldn't get any more dizzying, his current income on my form I-864 is the same amount from page 2 of his IRS and I couldn't understand how the same amount wouldn't have been written in question 10 on his form I-864A. I just do not know where it all went wrong.

I really do not know how to proceed in order to avoid 2nd RFE.

I am waiting for an NVC representative to answer the phone to get whatever information I can, but I still would greatly appreciate any input you may have.

Thanks so much!

Perhaps it was a joint tax return? If so, he must state only his personal income which WOULD be the biggest number on his W2 form. In that case, you would use a tax return not transcript. If not available then a transcript plus a W2 copy.

No it was not a joint tax return as my father (the co-sponsor) is the only one working in our household. His total income on IRS is 78,172.00 and on lines 1 & 3 of his W2 it is 78,000.00 He told me the 172 on his total is from some banking interest. I just got off the phone with an NVC representative and he said if it's not a joint tax return then he could put in the amount from 2nd page of IRS transcript. We had included copies of W2s as well as the 1040 and IRS tax transcripts in the first package. Could the different amount on the W2 be the one causing the problem?

Edit of previous post: He has filed with my mother jointly but she does not work. Will this still be considered a joint tax return?
