Checklist again for AOS Help please!

[Jodieb4 1]

Please help!!! I've had my second checklist for my AOS, this time I just have to take it to my interview

Part 3, item 7 - I am the only person being sponsored so should this be a 1 or a 0?

Part 6, item 13a 1 - what part of the tax return 1040 do I get this number from? We have used number/line 7 and the second time line 22, as advised by the NVC

We have called the NVC HELPLINE and they were hopeless. I just really don't want to turn up to my interview with the form filled in with the wrong information

Many thanks in advance for your help

Part 3, item 7 says add up everybody in 1-6. You are the immigrant in Line 1, so 1+0+0+0+0+0

13a it depends on what tax form was filed

1040 is Line 22

1040A is Line 16

1040EZ is line 4

I was also screwed over by this part and received a checklist last month. My sponsor earns over $130 000 and the difference between the gross income I entered and the obscure gross adjusted whatever for his tax form was approx. $600. A figure almost completely irrelevant considering the application. Good Luck

Thank you so much for the responses.

I just don't get it as we had 1, for part 3 item 7 and we used line 22 for item 13a and we still got a checklist!!!!!

Don't know what to do!!!

Hubby coming to interview with me with spare blank sheets so we can fill in on the spot if we do it wrong again

Newtothelift, what line did you have to use on the tax return question ?

I don't know what a checklist looks like. Did it specifically say those two items were wrong? Or was it a generic I-864 has a problem with no clue as to what they want.

These numbers simply MUST match. It isn't subjective. They have to be the same. I too received a checklist for one of my children because the numbers "did not match" but they actually DID MATCH. Whoever was reading it could not make it out on one of the forms and sent a checklist. End of discussion. So I had to resubmit even though the same form with the same supporting document was accepted for myself and my other son.

Sadly we just can't hope for someone to just let it go on the other side. Matching means matching.

Is it just you? No children? Do all the line items they mentioned for Part 3 match? Maybe the error is in a different spot than you're looking? They certainly don't explain very well. They just state that things aren't matching.

[Jodieb4 1]

It's just me being sponsored as my children already have American citizenship (have passports all ready, citizenship automatic for them)

There is only me listed in part 3, therefore only 1, and it matches item 7 part 5, 1

This is so annoying as I obviously need the correct answer for my interview and the stupid helpline can't even tell me the answer! And I do believe the answer is correct for part 3 and I believe the answer is correct for the tax question as the NVC did actually yell us to use line 22 but again they have sent back that it needs looking at!!!

[NikLR 13,220]

No-one else is written in as family members in the part 3 correct? Not even you? Those spots should all be blank.

the household count is correct i assume in mentioning 1 for you, 1 for petitioner, zero for spouse, then all your children to equal whatever your household count is?

It is plain weird that they sent you this if you already submitted it exactly as they stated on the checklist. I have read a thread about NVC evaluating I-864s incorrectly. I think the embassy in London will breeze you though and you have nothing to worry about. They are very easy.

What year tax return did you use on 13a as your latest? Did you fill out 13b and 13c with the two years before that? Did you also use the correct tax return line for those?

[Jodieb4 1]

Yes you are right, it's definitely plain old weird! I'm hoping it's a breeze, we are so desperate to be there already! My husband is coming so hopefully any issues he can sort it out while we are there

We used 2013 tax return (that's the latest right, as 2014 is just bei done now)

And yes we filled out 13b and 13c using 2012 and 2011 - both numbers were from line 22 also, nothing said about them

I wouldn't know where to find the threads I read, but I know somebody had a problem with NVC because they included a W2 for 2014 as an additional proof of income. So NVC expects the tax return for 2014 now. Your are totally correct that any I-864 signed and submitted prior to April 15 may use 2013 as the latest. London will not have a problem with what you have described.

I believe the other NVC weirdness I read was that the income put on Part 6, item 5 "My current annual income" should be the same as the tax return. That's not the same thing. Current income can be different than last years tax return. People get raises, people start work halfway through a tax year so the tax return doesn't show a full year's income. Current income can be proven with an employer letter or pay stubs. It doesn't have to match an old tax return. London won't expect that. USCIS doesn't expect that of K1s who submit it for adjustment of status.

I think you are just fine and NVC Dummy was having an off day when he/she picked up your file.

[Jodieb4 1]

Ok thank you, I feel a little bit better now. I'm a by of a worrier lol just wish I knew 100% that my answers are correct before I get there, but if not we can just change them on the day

Thanks again

[Jodieb4 1]

Had my interview today and they didn't even want it!!! So annoying
