Hi everyone!

I'm new here, but I've been lurking these forums for some time, and they have been quite helpful when preparing my AOS package back in May. I am currently waiting, have no questions, but I made the account to try and answer someone's question in another thread. I'm a bit shy, so you won't hear much from me, unless I think I can be of help to someone else.

I did so, filled it to the most recent status. I just had my biometrics yesterday and this morning I woke up to a nice little RFE in the mail :D

It's not a scary one, we just didn't adequately prove my husband's current income. I thought we proved his income with the tax return and his original offer letter from his employer, but what we apparently DIDN'T prove is that this income is current, i.e. we didn't become destitute between February and now. I sent him running to his HR department, should be sending the response in on Saturday.

I must have overlooked your timeline.. :)

Whoah! Just respond to the RFE timely and make sure to include everything they ask for. If they request something related to income, best to submit the IRS tax trancript which you can download online: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

Sometimes when people submit 1040 +W2 (or 1099), a missing page or 1040 schedule can cause a lot of troubles. Of course, include paystubs at least for the last 3 months or anything else that can prove a continuous income. All the best! :thumbs:

They asked for 6 months of paystubs and/or a letter from the employer. We will send them both of these, now it's all a matter of how fast the HR department gets that letter done. Oh, the joys of corporate life, everything takes longer than you'd expect, and you can't just ask someone for a slip of paper, you have to put in a formal request.

Thanks a lot for the tax transcript information, it looks really handy! We just sent a copy of the 1040 we filed, along with copies of our W-2s. They don't seem to be complaining about the tax return stuff...

Ah, and you did not overlook my timeline, I just put it together today after I read your post :)

Ahh sounds great! Maybe better if there's something in his employment cert that says he's holding a permanent position or something to that effect.

Hope everything goes smooth after this RFE. All the best to you guys! :thumbs:
