Request for Initial Evidence

[hakuna_matata 0]

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I recently received a request for additional evidence regarding supporting evidence of assets that meet the poverty line or joint sponsorship. USCIS states that my income did not meet 125% of the federal poverty line for the petitioner's/sponsors household size. I own my own business and as everyone is well aware of the economy has been in a freefall, meaning business has been up and down the last two years. However I do have assets, in the form of my house which I purchased in December of 1997( before the market went crazy) and have been paying my mortgage on time since then. There should be a sizeable amount of equity since I never took out loans or refinanced to access any cash. USCIS has requested evidence of ownership and value of any real estate and dates acquired. If I submit proof of this as well as its current market value, will this be sufficient to satisfy their inquiry/requirement or should I also obtain joint sponsorship from her family as well as mine? Also, they are asking that I submit ALL information requested at ONE TIME. Does this mean that I cannot submit the proof of ownership and market value to see if that would satisfy the requirement and if not follow up with the joint sponsorship from both our families? What are the documents needed in terms of "obtaining joint sponsorship". Would an MLS suffice in terms of showing market value on the property or would I need to go out and hire an appraiser?

Thank you for any assistance or advice you may provide regarding this matter.

i got the same RFE like yours, my husband is a military and now he's studying using his G.I bill and workin in the VA, as a VA worker, he has only the minimum monthly pay, his job is tax free thats why, in his income tax, it didnt show that he meet the minimum poverty guideline,... i submitted all the evidence but then, i received the RFE, an evidence of my husband's income... i gathered everything just to prove, but to make it sure, I asked my mom in law to be my joint sponsor, and after 3 days i got an approval in email.... Thanks God, so just to be safe, I advice that you'll just use joint sponsor like what i did.

You need to call and ask them if they require an appraisal on your house or if a CMA from a realtor would work. The. CMA is great when you are setting a price to sell your house, but it may not be sufficient for these purposes.

Good luck yo you!
