AOS from K1: How to correct mistake prior to getting RFE

[Californiansunset 332]

I just submitted my AOS from K1 last Wednesday and noticed that I forgot to send some additional evidence (IRS documents for the Affdavit). Should I send my documents to USCIS in Chicago before they send me a RFE?

You can try. I'd wait for a case number first. I think you'd have a much better chance of it reaching the appropriate adjudicator.

Thanks that's what I figured. So I need to first wait until I have the hardcopy NOA1 in order to put a copy of that with the additional documents to send back?

Wait for if an RFE ever materializes. You may not be asked for one. You may also just be asked to bring it to the interview. No need to panic.

Yes I would at least wait for NOA1 and if it were me I would just wait to see if you even get an RFE

Oh so Tax Returns are not an absolute must? I only submitted W2s for 2016, 2015 and 2014 and an employer letter.

It wouldn't hurt if I submit it just in case, right?!

Tax return will probably be required at some stage as it's likely a W2 alone is insufficient. You'll just have to wait. The current trend is that you will get a RFE/RFIE fairly quickly (few weeks) after the I-797C.

 

It probably would hurt if you submit it. Why? Because they haven't asked for it and so the mail room will reject it and you don't want some mail going stray which has your SSN plastered all over it!

Wait for the RFE which you will receive, I would not try to send it now, chances are it won't meet up with your package.

So all you are missing is pay stubs correct ? Confused about what exactly is missing, you did not specify.

  All relevant tax schedules are a must, while you wait call the IRS for tax transcripts if you have not

already send transcripts.

No it's missing the actual tax return documents. I submitted the W2s, employer letter and pay stubs. I assembled the package thinking that W2s equal tax returns and when my husband (the US citizen) looked over my package and signed the Affdavit he didn't catch that mistake. We are still confused on what needs to be send from his tax stuff because he said he's thinking that only the 1044 needs to be submitted and not the entire 30 pages of tax documents.

I just ordered his tax transcripts for 2015 and 2014 from the IRS online though so once we have the NOA1 (or if we want to wait for the RFE, then the RFE) we can send that to USCIS.

The choice is generally either official IRS tax transcript or the entire tax return (i.e. everything that was in the original envelope sent to the IRS). When (if) you receive the RFE it will say exactly what they require.
