Yeah I wish I read it more thoroughly now. So that sucks. But honestly, the instructions are so vague in my opinion. Like this for example, regarding current income: 'For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer’s address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stubs showing your income for the previous six months.' I read the 'you may also' as you can do them mutually exclusively, not have to do both. But that might be me being foreign? I don't know. I think I won't use the paystubs, because I'll have to get the letter and that's just gonna take time (plus I have to let my husband do it and I hate not doing it myself) so I'll use the complete tax return copy. I'll look into what that will be, because I currently only have the tax return transcript with like 6 pages. I don't want to mess this up.

He filed the taxes last weekend, so I didn't have them at the time of filing, but I do now, so that's why I didn't add it then. I'll take some time to reread I-864, the last time I read it was in January (and skimmed it earlier), so I might've missed something. But we didn't add the paystubs before, so that's probably why I didn't save the info on the EVL. Thanks for your help, it's hard to read through all of it when you're disappointed lol

So if I add the paystubs, I should calculate the income with that. If I don't, I should grab the number from the 2024 tax return, right?

What would the letter state? Because he’s paid hourly, not salary, so it’s based on his location etc, if they move him to another site (security), so I’m not sure if they can even give a number for it

Occasional overtime yes

Alright, that’ll take some work then. Because he gets paid biweekly and the number is so different each paycheck. This is just so confusing. 😪

So should I base the current income on the paystubs or on the tax returns for 2024?

I don't even know what he based it on. He filled in 39k and it ended up being 42 something. I guess he .. guessed?

Nothing in particular. It just states what I mentioned above and then how to file a I-864.

I would've added those if the taxes were filed already, which in January (when we first filed) they hadn't yet.. It sucks they do that!

He's sending me all the transcripts rn, it did get accepted. Do I need account or return transcripts? But I'm guessing the number mismatch might be why. I'll check that

He filed them like last weekend, so I'm not sure if it's been accepted.. I'll ask though. Should I add the paystubs and the letter if he has filed those?

I'm so tired of this process. I double check everything, and then we get a freaking RFE. So the RFE is for: '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. See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines.' What we submitted with the 864 is: · Form I-864 - Affidavit of Support, under Section 213 of the INA (Signed by Sponsor) · Proof of my US Citizenship (Copy of Passport Biographic Page) · Copy of my W2 for 2024 · Copies of my IRS transcripts for the previous tax year - 2023 (5 Pages) What am I missing???? I am just completely clueless and I don't know where it went wrong. I tried so hard to make sure everything was perfect and ofcourse we get a freaking RFE.

Way less interesting than I hoped hahha, thankyou!!

Yes!

Thankyou!!! Now I just wait for my online access code!! Also, do the letters in the front of the receipt # mean something like with the K1 cases?

We technically refiled on the 5th! We already got our receipt numbers, so I'm very happy.

Thank you!! I can breathe a sigh of relief

Holy yall. We sent it off on Saturday, we got the receipt numbers texts already. AAAAA

Alright thanks!! Also, for Page 3 Question 14, did my current immigration status change? I don't remember if someone said I should put something there or not

I think I might do #1, as it might prove I filed before, since I now (again) have to explain why I filed late

Yeah I double checked everything 3 times and it seems like the only one that's outdated is the 485. I'm just worried about the stamps. But maybe if I add the green front letter it fixes that issue?

These are the only stamps I can find

Sorry for the double post. Should I redo the 864 and 765 too? Since they don't have a new version

Alright guess I know what I'm doing tonight.. Yeah, we kept our balance above 2500 the entire time, but then the bank decided to accidentally grab something regarding to a car payment and then say 'oh oopsie, we'll pay it back in like 2 weeks'. We've had the 2500+ in there for MONTHS and obviously those 3 days we missed it, they try it :DDD
