The comment about moving meant that this discussion was moved to a more suitable spot on the forum (the area for Adjustment of Status questions).

If the RFE doesn't seem to be applicable to your case, have you checked that the the receipt numbers printed on the top of each page match up with the number on your I-485 receipt notice? It sounds like a silly question but it has been known from time to time for an RFE to be sent to the wrong person.

Assuming the RFE was meant for you, then you simply have to follow it's instructions. If your income is greater than or equal to 125% of the federal poverty line for your household size, you simply need to submit more evidence of that. Typically that means copies of payslips from the past 6 months, bank statements (showing your pay entering your account), a letter from your employer stating your name, position, salary, etc.

If you don't meet 125% of the poverty line, you'll need to find a co-sponsor who does. You can find the table for calculating what the poverty line for your household size is here (PDF file).

thanks for your reply, and i appreciate it... im still wondering if i use a co sponsor, cause i think i really didnt meet the federal guideline, do i need to submit both of my primary sponsor or just the co sponsors documents? thank you again

[JeremyR 8]

If you do need a co-sponsor, you still need to follow the instructions on the first page of the RFE and send the documents they're asking for - the golden rule for RFEs is always do exactly what they ask.

thanks once agian, so i will still submit those documents even my husband didnt meet the 125% requirements? and attach form and requirements for my co sponsor?

[JeremyR 8]

Yes because the US citizen spouse of a K-1 is always the primary sponsor, no matter what their income (assuming you came in on a K-1 visa - you haven't said).

I don't know the precise details of forms and evidence a co-sponsor should fill out for you to send along with your husband's I-864 because we didn't use one, sorry. Someone else will be able to answer that though.

thank you guys, im really confuse...

Here is what happened...

You did not submit all the documentation required for the "sponsor" therefore the sponsor "does not count" and therefore you need a joint sponsor. IF you provide all the information for the sponsor AND the sponsor does not meet 125% of the income guidelines then you will need a joint sponsor and that joint sponsor will have to submit documentation as required.

IF your sponsor (husband) DOES meet the guidelines and just needs to submit more documentation, then just submit the documentation on your husband and you will be fine.

there's one more im concern about, in the first page it says that on my husband's letter of employment, its says contain the following:

Dates of employment

Nature of the job

Wages or salary earned

Number of hours per week worked

Prospects for future employment and advancement------ my husband is workin at the school where he's attnding college as a veterans assistant, he will get a new job after he graduates, will it really be included in the employment letter? cause we will still figuring pout where will he work, and they didnt put the prospect future jon in the letter.. you think it will be ok?

[marien 0]

help!!!

[JeremyR 8]

Patience!

Anyway, having info about potential future advancement with the same employer on the letter couldn't hurt but it's not required. All that's needed is a certification from the employer that he has a position, has held if since date X, and it pays Y amount gross per annum.
