RFE income does not meet poverty guidelines :( Fear of denial

[Cathy6 0]

Hi Everybody

This is my first post and I am really freaking out, any help would be greatly appreciated...

I sent AOS status for my spouse in january and I just received a request for initial evidence.

The problem is that for 2014 I was self employed and my income on my tax return didn't meet the guidelines, I only made $15000 that year. Since July 2015 I have been employed as a server and I have made around $15000 in 6 months.

I submitted with my AOS a letter from my employer saying that I was making between 32000 and 35000 in a year , and I also submitted all my pay stubs for 6 months but apparently they haven't accepted it because they are stating on the letter that my income doesn't meet the poverty guidelines.

I am really confused about what my next steps should be....

Should I just send everything again with 6 months of bank statement, my W2 and a letter of explanation?

what happens if they think my response to request of evidence is not sufficient enough? Do they deny you?

I also made a mistake and listed wrong income on form I-864 could that be part of the RFE?

Thanks a lot for your help!

submit a new I-864 with income evidence proving your current income claim (along with all other required documents). That evidence is typically an employer letter and several recent paystubs.

Hi Anh map

Thank you for your answer

I did submit 6 months of pay stubs and a letter from my employer already... should I send it again?

Include a new I-864 and correct any errors (such as the one you mentioned) along with the updated income evidence such as recent paystubs and recently dated employer letter (if it's not difficult to obtain).

Thank you

so you do think that even though My tax return doesn't show enough I could be approved with proof of current income?

or is there still a chance of denial?

Have you already filed your 2015 taxes? If so, obtain the transcript and list that as your most current taxes as well as submitting last 6 pay stubs and updated employer letter and I-864.

Current and continuing income is what they want to see for a wage/salary earner. If you can get your 2015 taxes done and filed then send a copy of that tax return as well.

Thank you for all your answers

I only worked 6 months out of the year last year so even if I did my taxes wouldn't meet the guidelines on the tax return :/
