AOS RFE self employed

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

I dont think the 864 holds up the EAD. I know some people get it held up, but I think thats only when specific docs like the marriage license is missing and the whole package is put on hold, but I can be wrong.

---

I know its infuriating but I would try another tier 2 and take more control and be more like yes Im calling back because they said that you needed my specific case number and I didnt have it last time and you could send a message to the officer on my case and Im ready now so go ahead Ill wait and kind of boss them into opening a service request where they ask the officer what the deal is.

But hey Im either a nag or a really good motivator lol. Depends which way the wind is blowing. I get things done though. So Miss Ebun this is going to get fixed. There is no way that someone who has helped so many on here is going to go down like this. No/ Just no. Bah I think Im more angry then you are.. So a response will be sent.

No paperwork was required to be send in, just a phone call

stating my SSN has been used to SS office, the 3 credit bureaus, FTC and IRS.

Have you pulled up any of your free credit reports? It may show something on there reflecting the issue. You can get a free report from each agency once a year. If theres not- then make your own letter stating what the issue was, certify it and thats the paperwork.

profitable sole proprietor of a licensed Therapeutic Massage Therapy

business for the past 20 years and work out of a Chiropractic clinic, not as sub contractor so no 1099. No click through cat blog !

Still swimming after 20 years and the professional

license trumps the need to submit educational proof.

That means youre probably in the same age bracket as me. Did you tell them that? Well not that, but that you have all that experience? A summary letter detailing this is not your first rodeo. If all they got was numbers they have no idea that you have decades of experience with this and have been living off it. Sole proprietor is mighty impressive. BRAG.

Therefore working on a new ledger without client names.

^This. In your bus summary you can state that. Hippa laws and the what not. List how many clients, contracts you have- slam them with proff garble and jargon.

Your issue either had to be something with the tax return because another one was filed, so a statement from you clearing that up along with maybe a credit report backing up the claim of identity theft OR if you just sent in financial records and no explanation of what it was you do and how long youve been doing it and what they were looking at. Some like the resume style application with the I am a therapist I have been doing this 20 years, I have a client list of X amount with an average of X repeats and X contracts pending into 2015. I have a projected income of X. I went to school here. I operated locations here and there and serve clients suffering from X Y and Z. This is a steady business with no indication of ceasing as its medically based and people will always have the need for it. Its a field thats projected to grow in the future. Blah blah blah. Im attaching some monthly profit loss statements as well as my yearly schedule C, I always have profits in excess of my operating costs. I am also able to take on additional clients if need by to increase profits .

You really must try massage therapy for your migraines. Consistently once a week and I promise you will feel better

I have! And they do! its a dream.. I go for that and I have a broken tail bone that gives me back pain. once a week? You people are so expensive! yeah okay for the rest of my life Ill just sign my check over to you!! How ironic that USCIS says youre too broke to have a spouse. pssh.

Yes, definitely doing the letter with CPA input. Thanks for the humor below:

Called USCIS, requested tier 2 IO who just said she can't see the screen of my IO because it's confidential and to submit whatever I can. DUH !

Went to a CPA who said the RFE is BS and that he is totally confused and can't add anything else that I have not already submitted.
He also won't certify any of my income and taxes because he wasn't the one who prepared it. Referred me to an immigration lawyer to get through

the wall to be able to get a more specific RFE. He couldn't believe I can't get the IO who is adjudicating the case on the phone.

Consulted for free with an immigration lawyer who joined the club of "this is odd". He thought perhaps my annuity was the problem because without my

monthly annuity I don't meet the poverty guideline on line 22 with only the business income but as far as I know annuity added is fine.

How would you structure the bank letter I want to add for this RFE ?

Dates accounts opened, name, account #,deposit amounts.

Deposits from what date to current .... the past 12 months or this year 2015 only ? Since they are also interested in the current year income.

Or one for 2014, one for 2015 ? ( I bet every time my bank 'person' sees us coming she wants to run and hide.)

Income and expenses / profit loss Ledger also showing projected income for 2015 Jan-June (current).

Question about format : do I put business income one side, expenses other side, then add annuity to business income and total it up or do I have to

subtract the expenses from business income before adding annuity to that amount for total income ?

Plan of action is this,

I will attach (again) :

*Bank account statements showing deposits (past 12 months or only this year ? )

*Annuity statement (they only send one per year)

*Professional license

*Tax Transcript 2014 ( not here yet)

*Bank letter

*Ledger income expense / profit loss / projected income

*Letter of explanation summarizing and pulling all together short and sweet and requesting detailed specific RFE if still unclear.

In my long hours of research I came across someone saying that USCIS told him they sometimes send RFE's just to make sure consistent

evidence is send again. Really !

so what exactly did you send it?

We just received an RFE for the same reason, being self-employed....

*Ledger income expense / profit loss / projected income (explaining reason for projection like steady clients for the past 20 years)

RFE was accepted but we are still waiting for AOS approval going on almost one year.

What is the Bank letter? How is it different from bank statement? Edited March 30, 2016 by pilotkausa

A letter from the bank pulling together all deposits from the past 12 months into one paragraph, mentioning account number, date of opening account,

it's just an easier overview of income.

First of all, thank you for this informative post. If i would come across it before I could have avoided a lot mistakes.

I want to hear how did it go for you? If you could share your interview experience it would be greatly appreciated.  

I am a US Citizen and I filed form I-130 for my mother in May of 2016. She is currently in the U.S.  My income was not sufficient so we used joint sponsor, who is self- employed. At the time we filled we did not have joint sponsor taxes for 2015 because he had extension. We received RFE requesting 2015 taxes, which were sent in ( IRS transcript was not send since it was not ready at that time ). 

Now, we having interview for AOS on March 22 of 2017 and I am not sure what evidence to bring with me. Joint sponsor is a physician, who has his own medical office. Every year he takes extension so I will not have taxes for 2016 to show. Only 2015 taxes that I already send in. I have 1099 forms from insurance companies. Also, will get a letter from CPA stating what will his income for 2016 and what he made so far for 2017. Bank statement.

Any advise on what I could possibly bring for interview would be appreciated

It should say on your interview letter what to bring. I am not familiar with what to bring when you have to prove relationship

to a mother. My husband adjusted from a K1. We practically brought all relationship prove, photos, documents and financial

copies of everything we had submitted. Lots of financial co mingling and evidence of a co mingled married life in our case

but as I said I have no idea what you should bring for your mom.
