Hi everyone, I appreciate any help I can get.
I got an RFE with 4 bullet points, each of which I've attached a photo of (and removed the names):
RFE Points 1 & 2) I-864 EZ
They told me that I can t use this form unless I submit W2s. But I don t know why that s the case. I submitted my tax return transcript from the IRS website for the year 2020, which should be fine. My income was ~72K on that which is more than enough. I am only sponsoring one person (my spouse), so that shouldn t be an issue either.
Should I just resubmit the I-864 EZ with the W2? Or should I just forget it and do the I-864?
Also they had a bullet point stating that they need proof of my citizenship to use the I-864 form. This one was just silly because I provided a picture of my US passport photo identity page. Should I just send the same thing again with a post-it note explaining that I already sent it the first time?
RFE Point 3) Spouse s birth certificate
They said that I need to submit her birth certificate, which I did. I m unclear if it s because it s not the appropriate kind? But I looked on the USCIS website regarding what is considered an acceptable birth certificate from Pakistan (link below):
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Pakistan.html
Issuing Authority: Birth certificates issued by local Union Councils, Municipal Corporations, the Office of the Cantonment Board, or the CDA are acceptable, as are Family Registration Certificates (FRC) issued by NADRA. In larger cities, such as Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi etc., Municipal Corporation-issued birth certificates prior to 2001 are also acceptable.
Based on the above statement, her birth certificate should be valid. I ve attached it (names omitted) for you guys to see.
RFE Point 4) Marriage certificate:
I really don't understand this, because not only did I provide our marriage certificate, I even provided a CERTIFIED copy of it because I heard some people get RFEs for this. Should I send yet another certified copy? Or just send a photocopy?
In addition, I had one question about her biometrics appoint, which she has in Mid August. Does this mean the RFE is not really going to delay her interview date? I was surprised I got an RFE but also got the biometrics appointment at the same time.
