EAD is enought proof. However if you're in CA, even if you're out of status you can get a driver's license.

Thank you. I'm in VA and they seem pretty strict here - the lady was very suspicious and was basically treating me like I was an illegal who was trying to overstay my time which was very annoying. She never even seemed to know what a K-1 visa is. They wouldn't even accept my military id (my husband is in the Navy) - that should've been enough proof to show them that I'm within all my legal rights here. I guess I'll just have to wait and hope that my EAD comes soon.

Received my RFE letter today saying that my income level is not enough. I'm self-employed and report a 60K for 2016 income. However I only have pay stubs for the April-Jun when I filed in July.

I also have assets that more than enough to cover the difference if any.

Anyone knows if the co-sponsor needs to supply paystubs as well? I only see that they require co-sponsor to file another 864, last income tax, W2 and proof of US citizen.

They want to see all of 3 years of your tax. If you don't you can pay a penalty and do a late tax, consult with a tax professional . I called my bank if they can write me a later to uscis with 1 year worth of bank deposit . I didn't send any pay stub because I already had my 2015 tax done. Yes co sponsor will need everything just like you would.

I submitted last 3 years tax return. My last year had a business loss so the income is effectively 0. I used my assets to make up for it.

my 2016 income is 60K but I only submitted last 3 paystubs April/May/Jun.

I just asked my accountant to provide 3 more paystub (July/Aug/Sep). The total of the last 6 paystubs is 60K. That should meet the requirement, don't you think?

Or do you think I should still get a co-sponsor?

If it's just you two your income only haves to be above $20,000 and up. 60k should be more then enough . Ask your bank to to write a letter and only show deposits that you've done starting a year ago to present .
