We received an RFE regarding our Affidavit of Support.
It is not clear what is exactly missing, but it seems like it's related to the sponsor's income not being sufficient.
The RFE states that they only look at the 'Total Income' line on the IRS 1040 tax return, however the Affidavit instructions indicate that the sponsor's current/future income is considered as well. Our 1040 income tax return total income for 2022 is only $300 is less than the necessary poverty guideline, however, the current income now for 2023 is well above the poverty guideline and it is what we stated on the I-864 petition.
We did some digging on the forum and the only thing we think we're missing is W2's. We don't think we made a mistake on I-864 itself.
Evidence we sent
1040 tax return for 2022
Paystubs
Employment letter from employer
Are they actually taking into account the sponsor's current/future income or are they really only looking at the previous year's tax return?
What are we supposed to send them?
Why they can't tell what exactly are we missing?
