Did you send an email to Equifax and print the response for your application or how did you get their statement? I can't find anything on the websites of the companies listed. I've tried calling them but they're all asking for a SSN, which I don't have. 

I have a credit card and ssn number so I was able to pull my credit report but you can check this link with people in the same case than you.

 

Good luck to you

Hi there! First of all, breathe. I don't want to discourage you (quite the contrary!) but the process is just starting for you. You need to learn to manage stress, otherwise it's going to take a toll on you, and on your relationship. Take it easy, one step at a time. 

So the first thing you have to do is to read the rejection letter very carefully, and see what they are asking of you. 

For your process, you need to submit the following forms: I-944, I-864, I-130, I-130a, and I-485. Additionally you can submit your I-765 and I-131, which are the work and travel permit respectively. They're optional but I'd highly recommend you to do it now because they are free if you include them with the rest of the application. 

Make sure that all the forms are the current edition date, and signed. Also, make sure that you DO NOT LEAVE ANY BLANK SPACES. If something doesn't apply to you, you write N/A or NONE, accordingly. 

I didnt have to submit form I-944, but from what I have read, not everything is going to apply to you, so write N/A. 

Each form has specific instructions, so what my husband and I did was to read them carefully almost 3x each, and write down what documentation was necessary and what was optional. If something was optional but we had it, we sent it. For example, form I-864 states that an employment verification letter might be included in order to show that the sponsor can support you, so we did include it. 

My advice is, instead of having that tremendous amount of energy put into being frustrated, use that energy to read the instructions. Print them, highlight them, write notes on them! That's what we did and 7 months later here we are, with GC in hand.

Also, even if you are an international student, I am pretty sure you do need to have a SSN, especially if you have loans. Are you sure you don't have one?

Thank you for answering so in depth.

 

To everyone, I no longer need any answers because my wife wants a divorce and there's nothing that can change her mind, sadly. Thanks again for all of your answers. You saved me a lot of stress.

I got one rejection and the only thing i did was sent the 1 864ez instead of the regular i 864

What do you mean? We are also about to submit I-864EZ (1 petitioner, 1 beneficiary) and I don't see why they'd reject the EZ form and accept the regular one

We are adjusting from B2 so i was the one who sent the i 864ez. The rejection letter was the vague one that everybody has been getting talking about the applications needs i 944 and i 864 or i 864ez. I corrected some areas on the i 944 and instead of filing the regular i 864 i filed the EZ. never said they rejected the EZ
