Well, yeah, If there is not a correct form filled out, you will never get past this stage, joint sponsor or not. 

Ok I'm gonna get it done today

Then that explains why they said W2 needed. They have nothing that shows $49,000 except what he filled in. Since his W2 does not say $49,000 then an employer letter is needed to prove it. I would still start over with a new organized package.

Ok. I'll get to it. Thank you.

Ohh okay.

His grandads benefits total $56,646,96 a year. I uploaded his social security benefits as proof with what he gets from them monthly and his department of veterans affairs income letter with what he gets from them monthly and its dated July 15th. And an affidavit of support form.

 

David uploaded his affidavit of support form, proof of current employment and earnings. 

Earning $49,000 a year. Without overtime added. He uploaded his tax returns on the last 3 years, his current job is new and his been there 8 weeks. But earns enough for just me, him and when the baby gets here. So I don't know what's going on. 

i was told at the interview that he filed the wrong affidavit of support form. He used the self employed one, one with EZ On the end, but they let it go over there head at the interview and just said to get a joint sponsor. 

 

I just wanna be there. This is so stressful. 

Did your husband re-file an I-864?

I'm getting him to do it today and I'm getting him to submit a letter from his employer too.

Oh sorry. I uploaded the affidavit of support form, social security benefits and department of veterans affairs income. He doesn't file taxes. 

This is the issue. Your co-sponsor has not filed taxes on his income. Regardless of being retired, u still file taxes.

Probably good to advise him to slow down and prepare a full new package.  It does not take that long to do it.

Is or was your husband self-employed?  Why did he file the EZ?

The consular officer told us to upload to ceac and they will view it that way. TBH I don't know why he chose that form, I don't think he realised it was the wrong form. They all look the same lol it just goes to show what impacts can happen when you aren't prepared properly or don't realise what you actually need to submit in the first place. He was convinced the wage slip would be enough. If we just used The right form and sent an employer letter, we wouldn't be in this position now! It's so frustrating especially as we are so close yet so far away. They kept my passport after the interview.

He seems to be throwing these things together.  This needs to be put together like a mortgage.

 

He needs to fill out the correct form and attach historical (last years) income which is demonstrated either by an IRS transcript of 2018 taxes (or) a full, complete copy of his whole filed tax package with copies of every W2/interest statement/other income matching every penny he reported on his return.  An IRS transcript is WAY simpler.

 

In addition to historical (last years demonstrated by tax records) he needs to show CURRENT income by submitting paystubs showing year-to-date income from Jan 1st along with bank statements supporting the income.  

 

He needs to show ONGOING income by providing an employment letter on employer letterhead with the magical words “full time permanent” with his current rate of pay.

 

It sounds hard but I threw all this together in a couple days.  Most of it is electronic and the same letter employers provide for a mortgage application applies to a support affidavit.  They are available on request.

 

If he missed any of that, his income likely got discounted.  It doesn’t seem like the co-sponsor provided the correct information either but the same logic applies.

 

Good luck

In the additional information box on the affidavit of support form he wrote due to the type of income he receives he is exempt from paying taxes on the income. And in one of his letters it says he is on disability. 

Note the words in bold carefully. The need to pay taxes (tax liability) is a very separate issue from the requirement to file taxes. The requirement to file taxes is based upon meeting the minimum income threshold, not how the income is earned or if it is taxable or not.

He uploaded the last 3 year tax returns but the income was below the poverty guidelines. We summitted all to date pay stubs from his new job which shows what he earns weekly. But I'm guessing they are not taking those in to consideration because he filed the wrong affidavit of support form and didn't upload an employer letter. Yeah i

missed a Few documents on the sponsor side but I have uploaded His proof of citizenship and his statement why he doesn't file taxes.

Granddad receives VA disability payments which are not taxable.  He does not get a 1099 for his disability payments. His taxable income (anything taxable) is below the level required to file a tax return for a single person over the age of 65.  Grand dad needs to write, sign, and date a formal  statement stating that information in lieu of sending tax transcripts.

@geowrian and @Pinkrlion are absolutely correct.

 

My 98 year old grandmother files tax returns (and she only has benefits from SS and my grandfather’s benefit from working at the Corp of Engineers). And she owes money every year.  

 

There are very few USC that are exempt from filling taxes....a retiree making 56 grand would not be one of them.....

 

According to a CPA I know (my father)

Same here.  I am POA for my dad, and personally file his SSI/pension taxes annually.  

 

I wonder if the OP could be mixing up the requirement to file vs actually owing taxes?  Or SSI vs SSD?
