RFE for tax information - Will USCIS provide any more info?

[cunnind 0]

Hello all.

We've applied for AOS, and just received an RFE for more information about our taxes. They want us to send in all W-2's, 1099's, etc.

We think we already sent in everything that we have, so we're not sure what we could be missing.

For anyone who has been in this situation before: did you try calling USCIS to ask them what you forgot to provide? If so, were they able to tell you that information, or did they not know?

Thanks!

I read posts where the same things happened. Just re-send everything they are asking for. You can probably also add some previous years (up to 3 years I think).

Well, I was wondering IF anyone had called USCIS to find out, and then if USCIS was willing to tell exactly what was missing.

I'm asking because we're in a joint sponsor situation, and I'm not sure whether USCIS would be willing to talk to me about the joint sponsor's tax information (it may be a privacy issue). I'm wondering if I will need to coordinate a 3-way phone call with myself, the joint sponsor, and USCIS.

On the other hand, if someone tells me that they had a similar situation, called USCIS, and USCIS couldn't give them precise information, then I won't bother calling USCIS (or setting up the 3-way call) at all!

Any help?

I dont think the nohelp-line will give you any information regarding your RFE. "Exactly what is missing" is stated on the RFE document they sent you. Simply re-send all of your tax stuff (including the sponser's stuff) as that is what the RFE asks for. Many people have received the same RFE even though they sent all of their tax info in with their initial application. Either USCIS is losing things, misplacing things or God knows what's happening.

Your RFE document states exactly what they want you to send.

[Nancy2015 2]

If your RFE tells you to send W2's and 1099's - then that's exactly what they want. If they are asking for something that you've already submitted, it doesn't mean you forgot to send something - it means that USCIS is staffed with morons and idiots. It is normal for them to send an RFE for stuff they already have.

Also, the 1-800 line is useless, because people who work there seem to know absolutely nothing about immigration.

Just send them the same stuff - they will be happy with it.

You're spot on about this. The help line is actually like a call center. The most training these people probably have is how to process calls and how to use the manual of "standard replies" to give for particular inquiries.

I got an RFE for my sponsor's tax info again that i already sent them......the RFE doesnt actually tell me anything. Here's what it says.......

The petitioner or joint sponsor's income as reported on the federal tax return submitted with form I-864 Affidavit of Support does not meet or exeed 125% (100% if military) of the poverty line. The petitioner's or joint sponsor's current income as reported on Form I-864 or Form I-864EZ Affidavit of Support is sufficient but no evidence has been submitted as proof of current income. Submit evidence of the sponsor's current income. Evidence includes a letter of employment from current employers and should show dates of employment, the nature of the job(s), wages or salary earned, number of hours/weeks worked, and prospects for future employment and advancement, The sponsor should also include pay stubs for the most recent 6 months

HMMMMMMMM

1...., it doesnt tell me if my hubby does infact meet or exceed the poverty line for definate!!

2...., I submitted his 1099's and tax returns for 2006 and 2005

3..... He's Self Employed

4..... No chance of getting letters from employers or anything like that

5......He doesnt have dates of employment

6..... He just started his own business about 6 weeks ago and he only has 6 weeks worth of check stubs

7.....He has registered his own business and he does have a state & Federal registered ID number

8.....I've just asked my father-in-law to be co-sponsor for I-864

If i send all this in together do you guys think that these will be acceptable as proof as income??

Any advice would be appreciated.

It says what the problem is (bolded). There are guidelines to meet the poverty level (in the pinned thread in this forum) and does your sponsor meet that? If not, you need a co-sponsor & should have done so the first time you submitted the I-864.

You say hubby has just started his business & has 6 weeks of stubs. What was he doing before that?

Devilette,

Before that my hubby was self employed sub-contracting for a company in North Carolina doing pretty much the same as he is doing now. Just that we moved to his home town here in Nebraska at the end of April where he started up his own business doing Vinyl Siding and Roofing.

When I sent in my AOS paperwork i included his 1099's and tax returns for 2005 & 2006. What i didnt notice until now was that my sponsor (hubby) hadnt signed his 2006 tax return that he filed through turbo tax....(what an idiot) :lol)

Whether he meets the poverty line am not sure.....for both years he earned over $22,000. Is this enough?? Just incase it isnt my father in law has agreed to be co-sponsor and i will be sending off everything i have including his check stubs from his newly started business along with his state and federal ID number's showing that it is indeed a new business.

Poverty guidelines - depends on household size:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

Your hubby needs to submit what they asked for. Use a letter from his last employer + a letter that he has his own business now.

Use a co-sponsor if needed.

[Minya's wife 25]

For the I-864 the sponsor, or the co-sponsor have to make 125% of the Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines, for the number of people already in the household plus you the immigrant. Here is the I-864P which will tell you how much salary is needed. If in your father-in-law's 'household' there is only him and say his wife...then you're OK on $22K income. Otherwise...you may need further co-sponsoring.

Good luck!
