Hi all, my wife and I are starting to wonder if our case is stuck and if what are next steps should be. Confusion is due to seeing on VJ that many applicants for AOS May 2023 have gotten EAD and AP approval while our timeline on USCIS says everything is progressing as normal. MARCH 17, 2023: Entry in the US with K1 Visa MARCH 23, 2023: Married MAY 1, 2023: AOS+AP+EAD Packet Mailed MAY 5, 2023: Biometrics Appointment MAY 22, 2023: RFE MAY 25, 2023: Response to RFE JUNE 1, 2023: RFE Received Haven't heard anything else since then.

Yes, included summary of both bank accounts with bank letterhead. One account had 12 month average, the other did not. This time I will include both bank documents (updated) and for the second bank I will include 12 months of statements with it (which they will average).

So to clarify: At the moment I have $24, 300 total income on 2022 1040 + $30,000 in bank account. This is for household size of 2 (my wife and I) which 125% is $24,650. This is a difference of $350. I have chosen to go the route of income + assets rather than introducing a family member as a joint sponsor. Are you suggesting that’s a bad idea? Is it better to get a joint sponsor?

Hi all, Submitted for AOS paperwork on 5/01 and just received a letter yesterday 5/30 with an RFE. The RFE states: "Why We Are Writing You On May 1 , 2023, you submitted your Form I-485. We are writing to inform you that we need more information from you to make a decision on your case. Please read this letter carefully and follow all of the instructions below. What You Need To Do You must provide het following information in order for us to make a final decision on your case. Please include a copy of AL pages of this letter with your response. • Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified. In order to be a qualified sponsor, the petitioning sponsor's Form I-864 must be properly completed and signed, and the supporting documents must establish that the petitioning sponsor's income meets 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the sponsor's household size. See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines." I am very confused cause I believed that we did all the paperwork correctly and my total income was above the poverty guidelines. I looked over the submitted papers and everything looks fine however my initial submission included a 1040X (amended return) as my accountant messed up the numbers when he submitted my tax return. I see now that the transcript for 2022 includes a different number than what was under total income in 1040X. Could this have been the issue? Do the agencies share this info to confirm and flag if the number is off (it's off by like $300). I will resubmit today but I have some questions: - is it better to submit online than by mail? - this time I will not include my tax return but rather the tax return transcript (with no additional paperwork 1099, etc.) - I am self employed and this year (because of the writer's strike) I have been affected financially. Should I just write last year's total income on taxes as my "annual income?" - how many times can you be RFE'd before you get denied? Thanks all.
