3RFEs and need some help

[imwoody1991 1]

Today I had 3 notices stating my co sponsor (my wife) did not meet the poverty guidelines (she doesn't work nor files her tax returns ) I put her father as my first sponsor on a i864 and her as a second sponsor on another i864. Would this be a reason for the notices?

well your problem is that your wife is never your co sponsor she petitioned for you so therefor she is the main sponsor no matter what, did she write a letter explaining why she did not file taxes and send it in with her i864 if she did not then there is another problem, her father is the co sponsor did he sent in all the supporting documents he needed with his i864? Tax returns, pay stubs, employment letter, and so on if not there is another problem . Hope this clears some things up .

Thanks . I sent his w2s and copy of payslips for the year for her father but I didn't write a note about her not having to file( apparently she didn't need to file as she didn't earn enough in her job) .

then she'll have to hand write and sign/date a letter saying she did not have to file taxes for whatever years because she didn't make enough money to file simple fix . And like I mentioned she is not the co sponsor at all she is the sponsor her dad is the only co sponsor so make sure the right boxes are ticked for that on the i864 .

So I may have just ticked the wrong box? Yeah I'll get her to write that. I thought it was right to use him as the main sponsor because he is the one that works in the house. So it was still right to send two i864s as in one for my wife and one for my father in law?

If you don't fill out the form correctly and send the evidence stated in the I -864 instructions then you are going to get an RFE before they even evaluate the money and who has it.

Wife I-864 is the primary sponsor

(Check mark) 1a. I am the petitioner.....

MUST include a tax return or a well written statement detailing why she was not required to file . I didn't earn "enough" is weak. Did it say "I was unemployed in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and earned $0.00 income so was not required to file.

Father I-864 joint sponsor

(Check mark) 1d. I am the only joint sponsor

Tax return with W2, or transcript from the IRS

Proof of his current separate income--employer letter, 6 months pay stubs.

Proof he is a US citizen or permanent resident.

yeah you could have possibly just being misunderstood which is ok, and I had to write a letter as well because I never worked was a student I made it short and simple I blah blah didn't file taxes for these years because I was unemployed as a student. Sign dated and done and was excepted with no issues . And still right to send two yes but just wrong on who was the co sponsor the other person who posted explained how you should Tick the boxes for each one .

Would it be an idea to print two forms again; my wife as the petitioner and her letter about her earnings and her father in law as the only joint sponsor and his income information/birth certificate.

That's what I was trying to show you in my post. TWO forms

First form:

Wife I-864 is the primary sponsor

(Check mark) 1a. I am the petitioner.....

MUST include a tax return or a well written statement detailing why she was not required to file . I didn't earn "enough" is weak. Did it say "I was unemployed in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and earned $0.00 income so was not required to file.

Second form

Father I-864 joint sponsor

(Check mark) 1d. I am the only joint sponsor

Tax return with W2, or transcript from the IRS

Proof of his current separate income--employer letter, 6 months pay stubs.

Proof he is a US citizen or permanent resident.

Do exactly what nick mentions you do not need to go to a lawyer just because you made a mistake so ignore that, mistakes happen no need to run to a lawyer .

An RFE means you have to send in more evidence or possibly fix a form error. No need for an attorney. Often just rereading instructions and paying attention to detail.
