Hello,
Today I received the dreaded pink letter from USCIS.
As a backstory I've been working remotely for company in U.K. since 2017 and when moving to U.S. I read that there's no explicit law prohibiting me to keep working remotely. The law about employment was written when internet was till dial-up and no remote work was possible. I also had read here and many other forums that people have gotten their GC when working remotely in similar situations.
However I included my income in my sponsor's i-864. They now are asking for evidence I am authorized to in the United States.
Quote from the slip:
- For the intending immigrant's income to be included in the household income, it must been from a lawful source and earned while the intending immigrant was authorized to work in the United States.
The intending immigrant, (name), listed on the petitioning sponsor's Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, or Form I-864A, Contract between sponsor and household member, must submit evidence that they were authorized to work in the United States.
My question is how other's in exact/similar situation dealt with such request?
Should I response with letter, stating that according to my understanding I was not needed to have work authorization to perform remote work for company based in U.K. and it is not affiliated with United States?
Thanks in advance,
