I used a sponsor for the form I-864. I didn't include one for myself to I figured that was the issue (I asked here about it and realized I did it incorrectly.

So the RFE:

1. Provide proof of evidence that my joint sponsor is U.S. citizen. My joint sponsor makes well beyond the poverty level.

2.Submit a completed and signed form I-864 for the petitioner/sponsor. Also, provide copies of the petitioners most recent federal income tax returns and all supporting tax documents

How should I deal with the tax return issue since I haven't filed. I was overseas doing a startup for 5 years where I didn't take a salary and finally had to fold the company up. So I practically wasn't making anything so I didn't file.

So what should I do? Just write a letter saying that I haven't made any money and maybe post articles from my company.

I have started making a bit this year though because of a kickstarter campaign and that's why we're staying in the U.S. and not going back overseas.

Please help. I'm extra worried now.

1. Copy of the joint sponsor's birth certificate, passport bio page, or naturalization certificate as applicable to prove they are a US citizen

2. A letter explaining why you have not filed US taxes. You still have to fill out the I-864 and put 0 as your income.

For point 2, how detailed should that response be?

1. Copy of the joint sponsor's birth certificate, passport bio page, or naturalization certificate as applicable to prove they are a US citizen

2. A letter explaining why you have not filed US taxes. You still have to fill out the I-864 and put 0 as your income.

So I need to provide something for this?

"I was not required to file a federal tax return because my income was below the IRS required level and I have attached evidence to support this."
