Received Case FE note for NVC stage relating to affidavit of support.

[cokezerofan9150 2]

For one of my Joint sponsors (my father), I received a note saying:
"Please submit every 2022 W-2, 1099, and Schedule form for (joint sponsor name)"

 

My father is married and files his taxes jointly, but my mother is a house wife and contributes 0.00$ to the house hold income.

My father is a self employed business man so I sent his 1040 with all the schedules along with the tax transcripts for the years of 2020,2021, and 2022. I also sent a letter from his account stating the current profit and loss up to July 2023 and the nature of the business. Since he is self employed there is no W2, any idea what they could be asking for here? 

I did submit all the tax documents in a single PDF concatenated, I heard that could cause some issues? Should I re upload all the 2022 documents as separate documents?

Or perhaps they have a hard time figuring out how much my father contributed to the joint tax income since he does not have W2s? But I would think the schedules would cover that?

Thanks.

Did you submit an I-864 for your Dad's wife?

Nope, just me and my father.

Sorry, I meant I-864a for his wife.  It is not technically required, but it is always a best practice in a visa case.  It will not solve your problem.  You can respond by explaining that the joint sponsor (name) is self employed, and receives no W2 or 1099 forms.  This is a common mistake from NVC when using self employed joint sponsors.  His 2023 profit and loss, is ok to submit but his current income is the number called "total income" on the first page of his 1040.  Is it clearly high enough?

Thanks, will do.
