RFE – Co Sponsor/125% Poverty Line

Probably any of those things can happen, Melissa, but I wouldn't panic. Even if the worst-case scenario comes to pass and Aidan's AOS is denied, the beauty of your having waited out the K-1 process is this: You have the right to appeal. So thank your lucky stars that you had the sense and patience to go through with the K-1.

If you do file an appeal, Aidan has permission to stay throughout the adjudication of the appeal, and you can argue your case directly before an immigration judge. So even if a denial happens (and honestly, from what you've told us here, I think you have a good chance of success), you're still not toast just yet.

Stay strong, stay focused, and BEST wishes.

Thanks, Pax. That's good to know.

From what I'm reading, I'm guessing you submitted your current employment info and what not with no letter attached?

My I-864 was a complete package separate from the AOS package. On the front of it was a 1 and 1/2 page letter that explained IN DETAIL my financial situation - which wasn't pretty.

I had to submit when 3 years taxes were required. All three years were with my ex husband. My past income, when sorted out from his, was FAR less than the poverty level - and I was having to hit it for 3 people, not two. My present income was adequate, but only with child support included.

There were other factors also - but my point is that I put a cover letter on it. I plead my case. If you didn't explain your situation, do it. The person looking over your petition probably didn't want to be bothered trying to put the puzzle pieces together.
