Request for Initial Evidence Letter

[TheRowgles 10]

I got my letter for Request for Initial Evidence (I-485) today.

Says:

1) Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, was submitted; however, Page 3, Part 4 of the petitioner/sponsor's Form I-864 list someone other than the petitioner/sponsor or Page 3, Part 4 is blank.

The name where I should have put my husband's name is indeed blank, everything else (address) is filled... sigh

Submit a completed and signed Form I-864 for the petitioner/sponsor listed on Form I-130 or Form I-129F. Even if a joint sponsor will be used, the petitioner/sponsor must submit Form I-864. Also, provide copies of the petitioner/sponsor's most recent Federal income tax returns and all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules)

We provided tax returns and supporting documents the first time, is this just because we're resending a new I-864? Since we sent the original package my husband has done his taxes... would 2015 be considered the most recent tax return now? Can we change the new I-864 on page 6 Most Recent Income to be 2015, even though the old one was 2014?

2) Form I-864 Affidavit of Support was submitted from a joint sponsor; however, the names listed on page 1 and page 3 are not the same.

We did not submit from a joint sponsor, I don't know what this is about, perhaps because of the previous mistake of me leaving my husbands name out on Page 3?

Also, for the cover letter, where I wrote ORIGINAL SUBMISSION, what do I change that two? Revised Submission?

Thanks

1) submit a new I-864 with new tax information if you have it and some newer pay stubs. You don't need it yet, so if you don't want to you don't have to.

Forget about 2 unless you actually had a joint sponsor

I would put Request for Evidence submission but a second cover letter isn't necessary.

I resubmitted the form like it said to do with the name I forgot to add along with newer tax forms and I then later got approved for a green card without an interview. You can check my time line for the exact dates but it did not delay the process very long at all.
