This may be a dumb question, but I see a lot of people needing joint sponsors all of a sudden. How were they able to pass the k1 interview with the same financials as they have now? Also, what happens if someone can’t get a co-sponsor? Do they deport the spouse? 

I didn’t need a joint sponsor for my K1 as the letter from my wife’s employer seemed good enough to the London embassy.  However, her tax return from 2018  didn’t meet the 125% as she didn’t work the full year so I am assuming this is what they have an issue with.

I have the same joint sponsor as I did for the K1 process, and I sent in the exact same tax information which is what he got when he filed, but I got an RFE saying I needed more information which seems to be what a lot of people have gotten. There is a difference in income requirements which could be why some people didn't need one until now. If they can't find a joint sponsor, they'll be declared a public charge and be denied their adjustment. 

I had no idea that they require two different levels of income for the k1 and the AOS. Thanks!

Yep! It's 100% of the poverty level for the household size for K1 and 125% for AOS

it's the version that has both parents, location of hospital where birth took place, and a signature of the mother and doctor. The short form just has the names and city where person was born 

For AOS we were supposed to send both versions ? We only have the one with names and the place of birth and this is what we send along with translation. We did the same birth certificate for k1. I didn't even realize there are different birth certificates out there.

I also received a RFE for I-485 after completing biometrics and showing Fingerprint review completed. 

 

Wondering if I'll be also getting a notice for tax forms or birth certificate which I included?...

Seems like our  month here in the forum is getting quite a few RFEs,  I guess we just have to deal with  it.

We're supposed to send in either the long form birth certificate or a copy of the biographic page of your sponsor's passport. My joint sponsor doesn't have a passport and they accepted the short form for the visa, so that's what I sent in for AOS and I got a RFE

Sorry for the confusion I think your case is a bit different than ours. I got confused and thank you for clarifications, my bad. I hope your REF will be solved shortly and your case will move on.

Yup  I'll update on what the RFE is about once I receive it in the mail.

Hello there we also received an RFE requesting for my petitioner’s latest tax return which I believe, we included it when we sent our docs but for some reason it went missing  we just sent it to them yesterday. 

Check to see ! You should get an update that they have revived it soon. They received mine on Monday and today I got the update that they have received it! Don’t be sad! Atleast it’s moving along 😊😊😊

Update-

11-14. RFE received BY USCIS.

i think they update all RFE same week.

hopefully next would be case ready for interview or interview scheduled.😊 can’t wait to be done with papers.

That's great hopefully you are back on track. Please update your time as it helps us to answer your questions if you have any. Without a time line we don't know what country and or what immigration benefit you are seeking thus advice received would not be accurate or current.

Are you suggesting the USCIS sends all RFEs out the same day each week?  As in always on a Thursday so they go out in 'batch' mode that day each week?

 

Does anyone have any evidence (anecdotal or otherwise) for this kind of thing?  When our I-129f approvals were sent to the NVC, that agency would send the physical packages every other week (I forget which day) to the corresponding embassies.  Maybe a similar thing here as well?

 

Has anyone been able to nail down a pattern with the USCIS and AOS applications?  I am not doubting anything.  I'm just seeking any information others may have on this particular topic.
