The pay stubs and employer letter are only optional. They are not required.

No you won't. It is used to establish income if you think it will strengthen your case. Below is an excerp of the I-864 instructions from the USCIS website:

"You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income. You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to do so by a Government official. For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer's address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stub(s) showing your income for the previous six months. If your claimed income includes alimony, child support, dividend or interest income, or income from any other source, you may also include evidence of that income."

All the best in your journey.

Unfortunately yes you may receive an RFE for the employer letter. See here: http://www.uscis.gov/i-864 under "Special filing instructions:

All sponsors must submit the following documentation with their I-864:

- Proof of current employment or self employment

- A photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of a photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of your complete Federal income tax return for your most recent tax year, or an explanation if it is not submitted. Your W-2s and/or 1099 forms may also be required, see the I-864 instructions for details.

So unfortunately you didn't send the first of the 2 mentioned items.

No you won't.

Please see the above from the USCIS site.

The pay stubs and employer letter are only optional. They are not required.

paystubs are optional yes, the employer letter is listed as a requirement per USCIS above. I understand it's misleading that the instructions say something different.
