We don't live with his father. We accidentally put my husband's address on my father in law's i864. Do we still need to file i-864A?

Deadline is on January 16th. He can get his last paystub probably on the 24th of December. If anything I'll have to send 23ish weeks (5 months) since he gets his paystubs every week. Hopefully that's not too close to the deadline 😬😬 I'll keep everyone updated!

Yes! We included his i-864 with an explanation with why he didn't file his taxes.

Thanks for this reply. I honestly think the employment verification letter could be the cause of it. It just mentions how he works full time and I can see why that might lead to scrutiny (lol). Should his EVL show his annual salary or his hourly wage? I'll include his two cars as assets as a precaution (Truck 50k & subaru 10k) as well. I also realized that I put my joint's sponsor's address as my husband's so that could also be another reason why. Do you think I should wait till I can get 5-6 months worth of paystubs before sending anything? and should I include proof that he no longer owns the business?

I got an RFE on my AOS for insufficient income. They said this on there: “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. Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the joint sponsor, [redacted], on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified. The ‘Total Income’ line on IRS Form 1040 is used to determine qualifying income for a sponsor, not the ‘Gross Receipts’ line from IRS Schedule C or C-EZ.” My husband does not make any income since he goes to school. So he has no income coming through, and he has not filed any taxes. My father-in-law agreed to be my joint sponsor. He had a company he no longer owns, and his adjusted gross income for the past 3 years was significantly lower than the household threshold. However, this year in June, he started a new job and he’s been making over $2,400 a week, which is around $100k yearly. I was able to provide 3 months of pay stubs, a letter explaining his past business income that will not affect him anymore, and employment verification. I was told that current income was king. So what do I do? I don’t know if the verification letter might be why, since it doesn’t mention a salary.

He has multiple cars.

Thank you! I'll make sure to include 6 months of pay stubs, employment letter with annual salary and his permanent position. Could I include assets as well as a backup? (His cars, house, bank statement, retirement savings)?

I'm currently at the Adjustment of Status process, and I need some guidance regarding the income requirements. My fiancé has his father as my co-sponsor for AOS, but he is short 3000$ on his most recent tax return (2023) for the poverty guidelines required by USCIS. However, my fiancé's father secured a new job with an annual salary of $50,000. We're now unsure how to properly document and present this new income to USCIS during the AOS process since his tax returns show a different income.

No I do not have a time set. Just got worried that if I got denied entry again I'd get a ban. Sorry.

Hey, sorry to bother you again! I'm afraid that if I do try again, despite me not having a set time to go back.. if I got denied again that it might lead to a 5 year ban. Would this be possible?

Could a one-month overstay in the past affect my eligibility for a K-1 visa during the interview? I'm concerned that it might lead to a denial. Thanks! 😊

Thought about doing a CR-1, but I'm not too informed on it. How lonng does it take?

Background: Canadian citizen Granted a 6-month stay in the U.S. Overstayed by 1 month and 3 weeks Received a Withdrawal of Application by an immigration officer without case number or court orders. I'm a Canadian citizen who was granted a 6-month stay in the U.S. Unfortunately, I overstayed by 1 month and 3 weeks. In september of 2023, I received a Withdrawal of Application by an immigration officer, who assured me that there wouldn't be any consequences later on and treated it more as a verbal warning. They advised me to return once I had stronger ties to Canada and a return ticket in hand. I'm currently in the process of a K1 visa application and am concerned about potential implications during the future K1 interview. I'm uncertain about the timeline for a safe return to the U.S and I'm aware that there is no specific timeframe set for when I can go back. My plan is to return to the U.S. for a short visit of 2 weeks to celebrate holidays with FIL and celebrate our engagement since we haven't been able to yet. I will have a return ticket, and will be able to show strong ties to Canada (employment, housing, bank statements, etc). I appreciate any guidance or information you can share.

Alright! Thanks. Might've overthought this a little too much.. haha.. 😅

I am currently in the process of applying for a K-1 visa, and originally, my fiancé's father was planning to be our joint sponsor. However, due to health issues, he is now unable to work and will undergo heart surgery. Despite this, he does have sufficient income to meet the financial requirements. Does he need to show employment to be able to co-sponsor? Thanks.
