RFIE: 2019 Tax return transcript

[Mintxtea 1]

Dear folks,

 

On my green card application sent in Aug 2020, I've attached my sponsor's 206~2018 tax return transcripts but not 2019 because the IRS hasn't processed my sponsor's documents yet.  

 

On Nov. 2, I received a RFIE letter asking for my sponsor's 2019 Tax return transcript. I applied to the IRS again, after 10 days, I received a letter stating "no record found".  After talking to an IRS officer on the phone, she confirmed the IRS received my sponsor's file but still hasn't processed it yet due to COVID (My sponsor filed in Feb. 2020).  I tried to talk to a USCIS tier 2 officer but still waiting for them to call back.

 

I read some similar topics about tax transcripts, I have my sponsor's tax forms and cancelled check with me.  Since I only have 87 days to do it (need to send something in by Jan 27.), should I send those docs or talk to a lawyer?  Will I get a second chance for the same RFIE? If USCIS deny my application, do I have to leave the country?  

 

Thanks everyone and stay safe,

Send in the letter from the IRS , a copy of the completed and signed 2019 1040 form, and copies of associated W2's and 1099's.

Thanks, Steve. I think I'll go ahead and do that. 🙂

Hi there, 

Just thought of 2 more questions.
 

1. Since I only have one chance, and it gave me 87 days to response the RFIE, should I wait for a little longer to see if the IRS processes my sponsor’s tax documents and the tax transcript is available (maybe still no luck), or should I send the response (her completed and signed form 1040-SR and her 1099s) now?

 

2. the RFIE letter only asked for 2019 tax return transcript, since I don’t have it, should I also attach more documents (ex, my husband’s last 3 months pay stubs? ), will that help?

 

thank you,
