My mother is co-sponosoring me in order to meet my income guidelines for my wife.

When I submitted the I-864A for her, I included her 1040 Tax return filings for the past 3 years, copy of my mother's passport, proof of income, ID copy, Social Security card and letters from her teachers retirement association and social security income letters. She has been filing single for the last 4 years since she's been divorced for 15 years+. Should I have included her W2s as well? or will the proof of income form her retirement letters suffice?

hi

you didn't need to send the ID nor ss card, with the ss number is enough

did you send proof that she lives with you? proof of your relationship?

Yes I did, she does have proof that she lives with me. I was just concerned because i did not send her W2s with the I-864(A) although I did send her proof of retirement income from the social security and her teachers retirement income fund.

My mother is co-sponsoring me in order to meet my income guidelines for my wife of her CR-1 Visa. I missed the income requirements by a mere $375 and some change.

With my Affidavit of Support, aka the I-864, and my supporting documents, I also included the following; the Affidavit of Support, the I864(a) for my co-sponsor, which was for my mom (the co-sponsor). The supporting documents I included with her packet were the I864(a) were her 1040 Tax return filings for the past 3 years, a copy of her passport, proof of income; which this included the letters from the Social Security Administration (she is retired) and a letter from the her retirement association, which shows how much she receives from her retirement income. Also included in the packet I sent her ID copy, & a copy of her Social Security card. She has been filing her taxes as single for the last 14 years since she's been divorced.

Question is: Should I have included her W2s and her tax transcripts as well? or will the 1040s and proof of income form her retirement letters suffice?

I read somewhere that even on the I864(a) they want the tax transcripts and/or the W2s.

HELP ME PLEASE!!

I have already had on RFE because I signed on the wrong line on the I864(a), which was resolved immediately, and I don't want to get another RFE or worse.

We are so close to Case Complete and don't want to get a 221(g) when she goes for her interview.

I see in your other thread your mom lives with you so she can use the 864a...

With the form you need to include both proof of current income (which you did via the SS statement and retirement statement) and the Tax returns. You only sent the return with out the supporting W2s. They are not going to accept that. You need either the return with the supporting W2s so they can see it was filled out properly (or else you can fill out a 1040 to say whatever you like- they need to see the w2 to match it) OR the transcripts from IRS cause that shows IRS saw the W2s and entered them into the system hence generating the transcript...

I know with the AOS procedure in the states you only get one chance at an RFE and then they deny you. But since you are at NVC (right?) they may forward you to the Embassy where you will need to have the complete 864 to be approved. They may hold it and not send it to the embassy until you complete the 864... I am not sure...

Hopefully someone else will chime in that knows specifically. (how to contact them is located here http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process)

Yes she lives with me. But would not have NVC caught that by now and let me know that they need the W2 as well? It been in NVC processing for 8 weeks now, and the only RFE they sent me was for the wrong signatures. Nothing to do with the W2 requirements.

Story Short-

I received a RFE because my mom (the co-sponsor) signed where I WAS supposed to sign on the I-864(a) form, and I did not sign at all on that same form either. Although on MY I-864, there were no problems whatsoever. DUH TO ME!!!!. Anyway, the RFE only requested that we re-submit the I-864(a) with the correct signatures in the correct locations, and requesting these items of correction ONLY. Why this took them 6 weeks to tell me this, I have no idea.

Anyway, when I sent in initial Affidavit of Support packet which included the I-864 for me and I-864(a) for my co-sponsor, all I sent with the I-864(a) packet was my mom's tax returns for the last 3 years (1040s), her birth cert, her passport, proof of assets, her 1040s that showed her Social Security Pension on them, and also her proof of her retirement income with a letter from her teachers retirement assoc. I did not include her W2s.

Since this was nowhere mentioned that they needed my co sponsors W2s in the RFE I received, should I just leave alone, and hopefully they wont ask for it later?

I received and RFE regarding a mistake on my mothers I-864(a) stating that the signatures were not correct on the form. MY GOOF!!! The problem indicated is that my co-sponsor had signed where I was supposed to sign, and I did not sign at all where I was supposed to sign on the I-864(a). I received the RFE on 11/25 and re-sent the CORRECT forms with the CORRECT SIGNATURES (ORIGINAL SIGNATURES) on Nov 29th, which was in a very timely manner by the way.

When I sent the original AOS Packet back in September, I included my I-864, with all my supporting documents, tax transcripts, etc, which were all good. Along with that packet I also sent my co-sponsor's I-864(a) with her 1040s, for the last 3 years, her Social Security Benefits Letter, her Social Security Card, her birth certificate, and a letter from her teachers retirements association proving her other source of retirement income besides her Social Security. It is this form I-864(a) ONLY that is in question and is holding the case up.

The RFE Letter only states that they needed me to re-submit the I-864(a), with the correct signatures in the ocrrect locations on the I-864(a) ONLY, which I have done. I ahve read on other forums, and I-864 Direction websites, that they require W2s along with the 1040 tax filings or even the tax trasncripts for the co-sponosr too. The RFE I got did not mention ANYTHING that they will ALSO need my co-sponosrs W2s, tax transcripts or aything. Should I be expecting another RFE requesting these W2s or transcripts for my co-sponsor at a later time as well, or should I just pretend that none of this happened and not mention ANYTHING about her missing the W2s let it slide, and just hope the the RFE for the Signuature issues is the only problem? sadasem 6.c.

I would suggest to send in the W2s if you didn't submit your co sponsors Tax Transcript since it was evident in the website in completing the AOS that either transcript or Tax Return and W2s. Or you may risk to get another RFE for the W2s. Chances are they will give you a case complete and ask your beneficiary to bring the transcript or W2s with her during interview. Hope its the latter but in case you haven't responded with the RFE it wont hurt including the W2s too. Good luck!

I have heard many times, that they in fact will ask to my wife to bring the W2s/Transcripts, rather than do another RFE, to the interview, which will be no problem, considering i have both the W2s and the transcripts she can take to the interview. The latter that you mentioned, of having her bring them to the interview seems to be the norm, from what I have read on many forums and stories.

Thanks for your feed back, this has been a long and difficult road, and you have just taken about 50 tons off my shoulders by responding. Any general idea on how long the case complete will take? Since they have received the corrected I864(a) on 29NOV.

I saw some cases get CC after 2 weeks in RFE but sadly there are some who actually take another full 6 weeks again. It really varies from case to case. I was one of the blessed few who got case complete in 17 days from scan date no RFE's. and if you go to the thread NVC FIler December there are some who haven't pass CC even up to 8 weeks of waiting. Hang in there this process really test of patience and endurance. God bless your case.

It didn't take NVC six weeks to tell you that your form was wrong, it took them six weeks to get to your file and start reviewing it.

You need to send either an IRS transcript or the 1040 AND W2. I'm guessing you're gonna get another checklist from NVC but hopefully they'll just tell you to have the beneficiary bring the W2 or full IRS transcript to the interview.

I am in a similar situation with NVC, they sent me a checklist/RFE for incorrect signature on I-864(A), well, its fixed and was sent back the next day FedEx. I it has been 2 weeks since that happened, then2 weeks later without being asked do do so, (Because i thought it was the right thing to do) and because it is required as well, I voluntarily sent my co sponsors W2 and her Tax trans, which were NOT listed on the checklist/RFE that I received. I sent them even knowing they were not on the checklist NVC sent me for RFE. Also reading on I-864(1) instructions, that the W2s are required with the transcripts, which I had never sent throughout the entire process, thats why i sent them just now after noticing. I was trying to be proactive and avoid anymore Checklists/RFEs.

NVC is now telling me that by sending this "voluntary" mail package to them, it will set us back AGAIN ANOTHER 4-6 weeks. Should I have not even sent the co sponsors tax trans and her W2s, since they were not asked for. Would this have saved us some time and have had the initial RFE Checklist completed by now and leading to case complete?
