Request for initial evidence i 485

[SabinaPetrovic 0]

Hello everybody! i really really am confused with this letter for initial evidence (i 485).if somebody was in the same situation or can help me, pleeeese !!!

I got this letter that says:

This office is unable to complete the processing of your application to register permanent residence or adjust status without initial information.

X In order to process your application further , the petitionet/sponsor on form i 864 , affidavit of support must submit all federal income tax documentation submitted to the internal revenue service (irs) for the most recent tax year.

(This is really confusing, because i (beneficiary) don t work at all and my husband is on disability and gets social security benefits every month and doesn t work at all and therefore doesn t file tax returns. i included Proof of Income letter from social security, showing how much monthly payments he gets.) He get about 14,000 a year.

X In ordet to process your application further, the joint sponsor on form i 864, must submit all supporting tax documentation (w-2, 1099, etc) submitted to the internal revenue service (irs) for the most recent tax year.

I have one joint sponsor and she is the one who makes more than minimum a year. She retired from her company in 1998, but her income (on federal tax return forms) is from rentals. So she gave me federal tax return form for the recent 3 years and i sent them as a proof of her income. But what kind of supporting tax documentation does uscis want if she doesn t have 1099 or w-2 (because the icome is from rentals, not job)???

Please give me some advice what should i send uscis

Thank you so much!!!!

Copies of your SSA1099-SM(1-2009), SSA1099-SM(1-2008) etc.,along with a letter stating why you do not pay taxes will suffice for tax returns. Copies of your SSA1099-SM (showing the 2009 estimated payments) with a bank statement showing the deposits will take the place of recent pay stubs.

Hopefully, someone else will comment on the rental income.

the previous answer regarding social security income is correct.

Regarding the rental income, she is self employed and therefore needs to attach all schedules, such as schedule C "Profit and Loss From a Business" or the real estate income/loss forms that are used to determine the amount she entered on the 1040 form. You cannot just enter a number on the 1040 form, there has to be a supporting document for every number entered as income...w-2, 1099s, schedule C, schedule D, etc. ALL have to be attached, they need to see where the income comes from.

The alternative, and maybe easier is just to have her order a transcript of her taxes from the IRS, they can be faxed to you and they are free. Then you don't need to attach anything else.
