  1. Thank you, she definitely makes enough on her own I appreciate the help.
  2. Thank you! Any idea if we include MIL in the total household size? I’m assuming yes just to be safe, her income far exceeds the requirements even for 4 people so I don’t believe it would be an issue either way?
  3. Hi all, received an RFE regarding my i485 a little over a week ago requesting resubmission of my husbands i864. Just to be safe his mom has offered to be a joint sponsor. We all live together however we are completely financially separate. Would she be included in the total household size? And would it be best for her to file i864a or i864 if she is going to be my joint sponsor? Thanks so much in advance:)
  4. Thank you everyone for the advice My husband has fired out lawyer and we will respond ourselves. Do ya'll know if I should include MIL in the household size or not?
  5. Basically yes, my husband is only 20 and has worked since he turned 18 so I’m guessing the issue was maybe that his tax records were insufficient? We get by but certainly aren’t rich, and I’m not interested in paying the lawyer $1000 when we are already filling forms in ourselves 😅
  6. Here are the pages, it doesn’t specify why the original i864 wasn’t suitable. The second page is too large to upload, it basically just provides information about a joint sponsor and using assets to show finances instead of just income. Can compress it and add it if need be
  7. Honestly I have no idea, we didn’t shop around much for lawyers as she was recommended by a family friend and had good reviews. However she has honestly actively delayed our case with filing errors and poor communication. The initial package was rejected not once but twice. RFE responses weren’t included in the flat fee which I was aware of but I didn’t expect we would need an RFE because she said everything looked good 🤦‍♀️ I have some basic immigration knowledge and responding myself doesn’t seem impossible. Thank you for the response
  8. Hi all! PD is 02/14/2025 for my i485, husband is a USC. A few days ago we received an RFE for the i864, I believe this is because our lawyer did not update our household size after my baby was born when we filed initially. Our lawyer is asking $1000 to respond to the RFE which after paying $5000 for the initial filing isn't financially feasible for us. She has strongly advised against us firing her and finishing the case out ourselves because the i864 RFE is apparently difficult? Would ya'll agree with this? I don't want to mess anything up. Also a second question in case we do self file. We live with my MIL in her finished basement, however our finances are in no way co-mingled. Would we include her in the total household size? She is going to be a joint sponsor because my husband hasn't worked very long so I imagine USCIS would scrutinize if we left her put then they saw her address is the same. Thanks in advance
  9. I've never been arrested but I have been handcuffed after a friend was pulled over and subsequently arrested. I put Yes and provided the arrest record that my friend sent me. Chances are USCIS won't care at all about speeding tickets, but it is best to cover all bases just in case
  10. Unfortunately no online account number yet. USPS is showing that I have mail from uscis arriving soon so I will update!
  11. In most states passengers don't have to show ID unless the police have probable cause. My husband has been pulled over for speeding and I wasn't asked to show ID, but it is at the cops discretion. If they want to search the vehicle or suspect you of a crime you will probably have issues if you show a foreign passport and have an expired i-94. Personally I tried to limit travel and stay local while I was out of status and didn't run into any issues. A pending i485 protects you from being deported for just existing in the US without a visa, but if you have any trouble with the law you are still deportable. Just be careful, and try to get your application sent asap.
  12. Thank you! I was under the impression that uscis doesn't cash checks for rejections? When we received the first rejection notice the entire package was sent back, including the checks. The most recent notice also says that all filing fees will be returned. I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'm assuming the only option is just wait and see.
  13. I'm guessing what happened is that it was potentially an internal error at USCIS and the package was actually complete (no pages missing) so the rejection was issued in error and they kept the package/cashed the checks. Does anyone know if there would be a way to confirm this or if I just need to wait and see? Or has anyone heard of something similar happening? This whole situation is stressing me out.
  14. Yes, two rejection notices, both of which due to her error. We were planning on requesting a refund when the package had been returned, but now the checks have been cashed and still no sign of the package? I'm just super confused honestly. My husband reached out to the lawyer when we saw that the checks had been cashed and she said it was a good sign and that the rejection had probably been issued in error but that seems SO unlikely. I'm just not sure what to do, we spent a pretty substantial amount of money on her services, and now that USCIS has cashed the checks idk if we can even afford to file our own package right now. I'm just super confused 😕
