Got RFE need advice

[Globe Trekker 0]

Hi guys!

Well, we got RFE and here is what they ask for:

The sponsor or joint sponsor ( if required) on Form I-864 Affidavit of Support must submit the following:

*W-2s, 1099s, and/or all schedules submitted to the IRS - a copy of his/her Federal income tax return was submitted and/or the sponsor or joint sponsor requested an extension to file his or her Federal income tax return.

*Federal income tax returns for the most recent tax year or certified IRS copies ( and later they explain how to obtain these)

*Evidence of current employment or self-employment including a letter from each employer on business stationery, showing date of employment, type of work performed, number of hours worked per week, and salary or wages paid. If you are self-employed, submit a recently dated letter on business leterhead or a business license.

I understand what evidences I need to submit but need to make sure if I need to fill a new I-864 with that?

What makes me mad is that we already sent everything they ask us for! My I-864 ( sponsor) with tax return for 2005 and letter from employer also my Mom's ( co-sponsor) I-864, copy of her birth certificate and tax return for 2005! It looks like they lost it.....................

I sent mine, but not co-sponsor's, my mom is retired and I submited her 1040's.

She should have some proof of income to substantiate the 1040. If you call the IRS you can get a free transcript of her return in which case you might not need the w-2.

Anyone can fill out a tax form and send it to USCIS so it is good to have proof of your income.

Thank you Damulag for your input, but i still wonder about this whole RFE, because my income meets the poverty guidelines and we have a co-sponsor just to be on a safe side.

My mom will order transcript of her return tomorrow so we have 2 weeks to find out if we need to submit new I-864's again. Probably won't hurt if we do so.

Thank you again

I made above the poverty guidelines as well but they did ask send us an RFE. I re- did the I- 864 (new form) and this time added my husband onto it now that he is working, along with a copy of his EAD, paystubbs, and a letter from his job. I also sent in the co- sponsor stuff. I probably gave more than I needed, but I didn't want to waste time with another RFE. Good luck!
