Hello! Ok, this is a double hitter.
One, wow, this moved so much faster than the K1 Visa petition. We submitted on October 14th and got a response by October 28th. I was in disbelief!
However, we also got the dreaded Request for Evidence on the 28th and are coming into some confusion in trying to resolve it.
I am a teacher and I make over the 125% poverty threshold. However, during our K1 visa process we ran into some slow downs and then the pandemic happened. I moved to Uganda to be with my partner and we lived there for a year, during which I made half as much as I would teaching in the US. My annual income was, of course, lower that year, but I was above the 125% threshold for each year before. We just moved back and I got When we submitted our I-864, I also submitted 4 years of tax transcripts (in order to hopefully make up for the year that I was living in Uganda) as well as my current teaching contract, a employment verification letter from the district, and may stubs and 1099s from the online teaching jobs I worked at in Uganda. I triple checked that everything was signed before sending it out, as did my partner. And yet, we got a request for evidence saying that I did not qualify as a sponsor and would need to find a co-sponsor. The letter was very vague and did not point out why exactly it was rejected. I don't want to find a co-sponsor and then make the same mistake again. Help!
