NVC Requesting Documents I Believe I Already Submitted

[Cleetus Parkway 1]

I (USC petitioner) uploaded my wife's civil and financial documents. We have a joint sponsor because my job is overseas, and my only US income is passive income on investments. All our documents say "ACCEPTED," but I received a Case FE Review Note saying: "Please submit every 2022 1099, and Schedule form for Cleetus." I had already uploaded my 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B, and my complete tax return with schedules. (I uploaded my tax returns because the tax transcripts I requested by mail never arrived.) I have no W-2 and uploaded a letter explaining why in its place. Can anyone help me guess what they are asking for? Thanks!

Could be a cross in the mail kind of thing.  If you are Cleetus, just upload them again.  Maybe you included them in a tax return pdf, and they didn't see them.

Thanks a lot, pushbrk. I am drafting a letter now indicating which documents and line numbers correspond to the income categories on my 1040.

 

However, apart from reporting my spouse's and my foreign income on form 2555 and Schedule 1, I haven't provided any proof of income (like corresponding to a W-2). Is this something I should provide to them? Initially I thought it wasn't necessary, because I can't count our foreign income on the I-864 anyway. And they seem to have accepted our joint sponsor's tax documents without any issues. But I wonder if they flag any income whenever there's no document to support it.

 

For instance, it might be possible to obtain an English translation of our income tax statements from our country of residence.

Whoa.  There is only one number from your 1040 that goes on the affidavit of support.  It's the one called "total income".  They don't need an explanation of anything else about your tax return.

 

A letter explaining why you don't have any W2 forms might be helpful.

An update for anyone reading this, I sent in my letter and was DQed within a week.

 

In response to pushbrk, the reason why I felt the need to explain each line of income was because my total income doesn't appear as such on my tax return, since I need to subtract out foreign income and my spouse's income. Unless I've misunderstood what they need, which is possible, but in the end they were apparently satisfied. As far as W-2 goes, yes, that explanation was submitted with the original packet, and the RFE wasn't asking for a W-2 anyway.

 

Hope this is helpful to future petitioners!
