Waiting for AOS to respond is normal. Especially since they've only received it on 11/25/2025, plus Thanksgiving Holidays, etc. etc. Just don't travel outside of the country until then and I'm pretty sure you'll receive your notice soon. Keep checking https://myaccount.uscis.gov/ for any updates. Best of luck! -
For our AOS, the banks generally will offer you a summary statement of: - How long the account has been opened - Who's name is on it - Average balance - Reason for the summary letter (We used USCIS Interview) This saves a lot of paper weight and unnecessary pages of every single transaction. In our experience, our deck was about 300 pages that included every single USCIS correspondence. Be sure you have: - Originals of USCIS documents, Original passports, Original Birth certificates, etc...etc. - 2 copies of each document - 2 copies of official IDs (Passports, etc.) - Official Copies if needed - Plenty of printed photos (we actually brought a separate photo album) There were no surprises at our interview. But as other have mentioned, you will never be over prepared. Best of luck!

Overstayed K1 visa
jolive2025 replied to VNMH's topic in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas
Hello, We went through the same situation and here is our personal experience. The I-94 expiration date was never ever brought up in our journey. HOWEVER, your results may vary and always provide a clear explanation IF you are asked for. We did not provide health insurance as evidence. Other sources of evidence can include: Utility Bills (with both your names on it), Joint Bank Accounts, Phone Bills, travel receipts, and lots of PRINTED photos, trips together etc. As for evidence: - Open a join bank account - Add both your names to the utility bills (Gas Company, Waste/Landfill, Water bills, Phone Bills) - these are faster to do with less turn around time. - Print lots of photos and the date and places you both have been. During this stage that you are in, it would be best not to travel outside of the country until you receive a Green Card. We were very strict on this, even road trips out of state were out of the question. 2 weeks expiration does not seem so bad. IMHO. Good luck! -
Quick update. We went on to our interview mid-October and my spouse finally got the green card. Thank you to everyone that helped and this forum has been a great asset in our journey. I will help around a much as I can to pay back to this wonderful community! 😀

I understand that a joint sponsor is required if you do not meet the 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline? In my case, I do meet and exceed that threshold for my given household size. For current annual income, I am including my past three months pay stubs. Will keep this thread posted and thanks again.
-
@Edward and Jaycel and @Crazy Cat appreciate both your replies. Having a joint sponsor is not possible for me although that is a great option. That is correct, I did not submit my "Tax Return Transcript" and had submitted my "Wage and Income Transcript" incorrectly. I will revise this properly on my RFE. My tax returns are well-qualified given my household size. To further qualify, I am planning to include my most recent Federal income tax return, 3 years of Tax Return Transcript along with Net Cash Holdings. I wanted to double check that my RFE was asking for a Tax Return Transcript and nothing else that I had missed. Really appreciate both of you taking the time to look this over. Please let me know if I had missed anything. - Cheers!

Thank you, but what is the reason for the join sponsor if the amount is met?

I get a W-2 from the company I own. On the form, I list myself originally as self-employed. My company is a registered corporation and I pay myself a salary. On my I-864, I am thinking to update my I-864 Employment section to: "Employed as a/an" and then name my company as employer? As for income and assets, I do meet the requirements. However, I originally submitted "Wage and Income Transcript" and not the required "Tax Return Transcript."
-
Hi Cat, RFE attached, thank you for looking this over. I do meet the minimum requirement and I do plan to upload my most RECENT YEAR Federal Income Tax Return submitted to the IRS as well as IRS Tax Return Transcripts (2024, 2023 and 2022). I'm not sure if I need to resubmit the entire I-864 and I-485 packet or just the Tax Return Transcript from IRS. Thanks for looking into this!
-
RFE for I-485, Could not determine sponsor on Form I-864 is qualified, do I submit the entire packet or just the requested evidence? For my I-864, I accidentally submitted IRS "Tax Return Transcript" and not "Tax Account Transcript." I have three years of IRS Tax Return Transcript that I am going to Submit to my RFE reply. Aside from the original RFE Notice, do I need to include my entire I-864 packet and I-485 packet OR just what was requested? I don't want to cause any document confusion. On the RFE it sails to Mail it in. The USCIS account has a place to upload the documents. Which option should I go with?

An employee of my own company. I-864 Affidavit of Support - Part 6 - Sponsor's Employment and Income
-
Hi Dashinka, That's a great point. I'm planning to resubmit my I-864 with just recent 3 months pay stub and one most recent IRS Tax Return Transcript. This should suffice for I-864 proof and not cause more confusion then necessary? Or should I submit three years of IRS Tax Return Transcript ?
-
IRS "Tax Return Transcript" and not "Tax Account Transcript” correct? I can provide both if needed. Would it be safer to provide the most recent year Tax Return Transcript or should I provide last three years? Thanks for your reply!
-
I run my own business and it is a registered corporation where I pay myself a salary. On form I-864, Part 6. Sponsor's Employment and Income do I select: [] I am currently: Employed as a/an ________ [] Name of Employer 1 ________ OR [] Self-Employed as a/an (Occupation) _______________________ I selected Self-Employed at first, but I now receive an RFE. I am thinking since my business is it's own entity, I should fill in Employed as an CEO and Employer is my company?

Received an RFE for my I-864 Affidavit of Support. "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." I provided 3 months of my W2 along with three years of my Form W-2 Wage and Income Statement from IRS. For my household size of 4, including my spouse, the guidelines are: 100% of HHS @ $32,150 125% of HHS @$40,187 https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p My income exceeds this, which was shown in my recent 3 months W2, Last year's Tax filling and IRS (Form W-2 Wage and Income Statement) However, I did not include an IRS Tax Return Transcript for the most current year, is this what the RFE is asking for?
