RFE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello to everyone and thanks For everyone Will Answer us and Give us a very Good Answers For my husband’s RFE or maybe Was have the Same case and find a solution Too…

My divorce was finalized last year, and all of the taxes are "married filing jointly" with my ex-husband. I've been a stay-at-home mom (I supported my ex while he went to school, and he was supporting me while I took care of the kids) with no income of my own. In the divorce settlement it states that I will continue to receive payments for child support, alimony, and equitable distribution (even though I remarried). The amount I get is enough for the USCIS requirements.

USCIS asked for W-2s, 1099s, and/or all schedules submitted to the IRS; Federal Tax returns for the most recent tax year; and evidence of current employment (to summarize).

When we sent in the AOS and EAD papers, we included return transcripts for 2003 and 2004, and the tax return for 2005. The 2005 return included all schedules, but no W-2s or 1099s. I guess maybe if I order a return transcript for 2005, that will be fine. Good idea - thanks for the advice!

I read somewhere that 2006 tax returns are not required yet, and I hope that is true (this first one on my own will be a bit tricky, and may take a while). If I have to, I will file a return for 2006, and then an amended one later (once I figure out all that needs to be done for it) - or an extension.

As I am not employed, I can't possibly get evidence of employment. With the forms we sent already, we sent copies of everything we had to show my income. We had letters from the immigration lawyer, my divorce settlement, and I noted on the Affidavit of Support that my income was derived from alimony and child support. I will copy everything and send it again, along with bank statements (another good idea - thanks again!) showing all the deposits of the checks from my ex. I'm also writing a very long, detailed letter explaining my situation again.
