Hi @Orkey!

I am no expert in this field, but if I was you, I'd provide all the documents you listed above (W2 from 2017, tax transcript, maybe an employer's letter stating that your wife makes xx thousand per year?).

I believe you don't need to be above the poverty guideline for the last 3 years, otherwise they would've rejected my k-1 visa, and probably yours too. My husband was also in school in 2015, so I understand your case.

 

I hope people can help you in here.

I'm hoping everything goes well for you guys!

I think i am gonna go by your suggestion.. and may be try to get a letter from her employer, hopefully we gonna get one soon coz it it usually takes 2weeks or more to get such a letter from her organization. i will go ahead and do more research to see what more could be done.

I  really appreciate your input.

You're welcome!

It doesn't hurt to ask her employer, right? If they take too long, you could send the offer letter she got because it usually states how much she'd make per year, etc, right?

Hi so I did a little research for you I was trying to include the link here but will try again later, anyways basically what i would suggest is to submit all the documents you listed as well as the letter from your wife's employment as evidence supporting your claim abt expected income for the current yr (employer address, phone number, beginning date of employment, type of work performed and annual salary) you can also include the value of assets or assests of other household member who has signed a I-864A. The best way to meet the requirements tho is through joint sponsorship but as u said that may be difficult to find. Good luck and keep us posted!! Praying that those documents will be enough 

Thank you so much for  your effort @Stewt. i will see into how we can get the employer's letter although it takes a while to get that. btw! our 2017 shows that the income is way above the guideline ... "just trying to see if that means anything" you know

Your most welcome! If the 2017 annual income is way above then that should be enough along with recent pay stubs I wouldn't sweat it too much! Send what you have and see how it goes. At least that's what I would do!

oh yeah i think you are right . thats a perfect option .. i think we might just sen the job offer since it contains all the information they probably want.. we will request for the actual letter and if doesn't get here soon enough we will go by the job offer.

Sounds good to me. I don't see a reason they should want more or joint sponsor if she made above the poverty line for 2017. I think you only need it for one yr not 3

Received my biometrics schedule for 14th. I noticed that there’s only 2 application number indicated at the bottom part of the notice which is the ead and aos. I applied also for ap but i didn’t received yet the hard copy of noa1 for ap yet I received 3 noa’s email from uscis. Is it normal?

Hello!

I think we belong here now?  We filed for AOS (and EAD/AP) on Jan 29 and got a USCIS Acceptance Confirmation via e-mail/text  for all three forms on Feb 2. No hard copy NOA1s yet, but I am sure that might take a while. 

 

We did not include any medical documents as I was not given any (except for the vaccination sheet, which we did not include though) and we read if the medical took place within a year from filing, this is fine for K1. Can anyone here confirm or should we have sent something? 

 

Have a good evening everyone

Today I received the I-797 for ead rejecting the application due to using old form. I will submit again with the correct updated form but we did not get the photos we sent originally, do we have to re send the updated form with photos or they already have them?

Hi @Catseal!

As far as I remember, even though we are not required to send any medical document if we did the medical exam within a year, they still ask for the vaccination sheet. Please guys correct me if I'm wrong.

I sent a copy of the vaccination sheet with my package.

Since it is a rejection and not an RFE, you'll unfortunately have to resend the entire EAD packet. This means you have to send the form, photos and other documents required for the EAD application. You'll also need to include the NOA1 for your I-485 (AOS) application so they know you're excempt from the fee.

Welcome! Your NOA1 date is likely Feb 2 which makes you *technically* a February filer, but since you sent your packet in January then I say you're a "cusp".

 

Not entirely sure but I think one of the requirements listed on the I-485 form is the medical document. If you did your medical exam before you flew to the US then yes, you should only have the vaccination record, and that is what you're expected to send. I have a friend who didn't include her vaccination record in her packet and she didn't encounter any problems. She was asked for it during her interview, though. 

 

Worst thing that can happen is you get an RFE for it which will delay the process, but your application should not get rejected for this reason alone. If you don't get an RFE, just make sure you bring it to your interview because they will ask for it.

 

If your medical record was more than a year old when you submitted your application, they will ask you to get a medical exam again, so I suggest you get it done before your interview schedule to avoid any delays (assuming you don't get an RFE for it). Good luck!

Really? My ead got rejected for outdated form too and what our lawyer did was have me re do the application and  resend the package along with the paper they said to put on top of the package. We got the NOA1 for the i485 few days after the ead rejection notice!
