Income requirement? RFE? I-864

[Accty 0]

Hello,

I recently received RFE and in process of re-doing I-864.

Since I would prefer not to go through this for third time, I need your advice!

"my father in law files I-864 as a joint sponsor."

"he makes about $100,000 of income with house hold size of 3"

"use of Asset is not required"

"the most recent tax information is sufficient."

Are those all correct?

I'd like to hear some advice from you all.

Thank you,

"my father in law files I-864 as a joint sponsor."Correct

"he makes about $100,000 of income with house hold size of 3"

"use of Asset is not required" Correct

"the most recent tax information is sufficient." Usually true - unless self-employed in which case more tax returns would help.

Are those all correct?

Thank you,

What did your RFE say exactly?

Am I correct in assuming you (the USC) completed an I864 as well?

It says, 1) in order to process your application further, the petitioner/sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support must submit all Fed income tax documentation submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year.

2) Based on the documents submitted with Form I-864 for the petitioner/sponsor, the income did not meet 125% of the fed poverty line for the petitioner/sponsor's household size.

I am adjusting my status, and my wife did file I-864.

Ok.. so you need a co-sponsor (as you already figured) - but did you submit tax return (and supporting documents) with your original I-864?

In addition, it says under #2, "In order to process your application further, obtain a joint sponsor or submit evidence of assts that meet the federal poverty line"

I think I have solution for this; my father in law checked A for first question, which my wife selected too: the petitioner.

He need to check for "a joint sponsor." correct?

we summit W-2 only for the most recent tax year. However, we put down all three tax years without accompanying W-2s for the two years.

is co-sponsor same as joint sponsor?

by the way, Thank you for your help!!

Make sure you do/redo your I-864 as well - you did not submit complete documentation with your I-864 (which is what the first statement in your RFE is referring to). You must submit your tax return and any/all supporting documents (such as w-2s). Not just w-2's.

Each I-864 (whether Sponsor, or Co-sponsor) must submit the correct supporting documentation.

I will ask them to re-file I-864s with all supporting documents.

I guess it's very obvious that we did I-864s last.

I am a bit confused on one thing. so, he is a joint sponsor. correct?

Thank you for your time!!!!!!!

Have a good one

That's correct. Your father-in-law is a joint sponsor. So he needs to mark "d. (I am the only joint sponsor)" in Part 1, line 1 of I-864.

Also, (if you have not done so yet) don't forget to include a copy of a document that proves your father-in-law is a US citizen (such as his birth certificate). It is explicitly written in Part 4, line 19 of I-864, but it seems many people forgot to include such proof and recived REF.
