Yule! I am so sorry.. another false RFE? Do they realize your gonna lose your $hit on these people sooner or later? Oh wow.. I agree - they need to get their act together. :angry: Hang in there kiddo..

I'm trying to keep my sense of humor.... Ughhhhh :bonk: And I'm about to loos my $hit LOL.... they don't know what's coming their way - I mean I've been calling everyday, I'm going to start calling 3-4 times a day and asking them how their significant other's are doing.... :bonk:

This is just plain madness !!!!!!!!! NVC get your act togethermad.gif

I know right? I mean so far the only "help" I've seen from operators is actually sending me the checklist because aparently they forgot to do it first time....

Sorry to hear that. That is pretty messed up!

I'm preparing myself for a long alcohol filled weekend..... At this time I would like to thank my liver for hanging in there with me and not giving up.... :bonk:

Regarding the AOS package:

First thing, I would recommend is that you print out the I-864 form and read the instructions about 2 times. Mark out the relevant portions and ask any questions you might have after that. I would suggest you read the guides for a comprehensive idea about how the AOS packet will comprise.

Recommended AOS package:

I-864 Coversheet (with barcode) for payment of $70

Form I-864 (signed and dated)

2009 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2008 Federal Tax Return and W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2007 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS Tax Transcript

Letter of Employment

Pay stub(s) from the most recent six months

Bank Statements.

Remember, the USC petitioner will file a I-864 regardless of income. If your joint sponsor lives in the same household as the petitioner, then they will use I-864A. If they live in a separate residence, then they will fill in another I-864.

For your joint sponsor you will need proof of their citizenship/residency. For household member, you will need proof of relationship and same household/residence.

I'm filing I-864. Right now, I have 2009, 2008, 2007 federal tax return transcripts and W2 for 2009. I also have pay stub(s) from the most recent six months as well as bank statements. I am making above the poverty line as well. So do I need the 1099s(?) and W2 from 2008 and 2007 as well?? Thanks.

Myra got her case complete and they scheduled so this (first/second week of April) thing has me with raised eyebrow.. anywho- she even said she was crossing her fingers for me! Why are they so nice now, but mean and horrible when your in the process?

Wow.. another week to wait for interview. Ok! :thumbs: Whatever at this point!

Nope! Transcripts are fine for those years. Just the W2/1099 for 2009. Also, keep in mind they will want the actual copy of filed return for 2009 at the interview (chances of this are VERY high) so make sure you have that together. Also, a current employment letter cant hurt- but with your pay stubs, I think you have a good package together. Make sure the amount of income listed matches your 2008 tax transcript, since thats the current year still, technically. That's what I did. I included my W2 for 2009, but didnt list that as my current income, 2008 instead. :thumbs:

4) Make sure the income you state for last three years on your I-864 matches exactly to the income reported in your tax returns.

QUESTION CONCERNING AOS:

vivekjay (or anyone that can help) :help: ...I have a question about your #4 from your post.

So would I use my 2009 "total income"(from my 1040)for "#21. My current individual annual income".

...and use years 2009,2008&2007 "total income" (from my 1040)for "#25. Federal Income Tax Information".

This would make #21 & 25(line 1) exactly the same for my 2009 "total income".

I wanted to double check because I'm a teacher, and my letter from employer will state my salary from the school year 2009-2010...which wouldn't be equal to #21...and I would be submitting my 1040 with w-2s for 2009, and transcripts for 08-07.

Thanks for any input or corrections.

I asked hubby to call them and he said: baby we are done with them! We'll never have to deal with NVC anymore! hahahahahah

Poor thing! He said to wait for the email, and at this point I think he's right!

We'd wait 40 min on hold to get a "call back on the 16h" lol
