We got an RFE but we are not sure why

[gelali 1]

Hello,

We got an RFE for our adjustment of status due to proof of income requirements not being met and they can't determine my spouse is qualified as my sponsor.

 

Her taxable income is $23706.
We included the most recent year of taxes and she made $36106 gross income and ever got a pay increase recently, are they looking at gross or taxable income? 

Her W2s were included and we don't know if the issue might be that her company changed names in the middle of the year.

 

We live with her mom but she is not a dependant as she has her own job so we put our household as 2 and we believe she does meet the income requirement.

Is this a mistake on their part or are we really not meeting the requirements?

Sponsor Qualification is completely at the discretion of the officer.  There are no "set in stone" absolute financial requirements.   I would find a well qualified joint sponsor.

It depends on what sort of evidences were provided for current income as well? Listing those here is a good idea to get good suggestion.

With the initial submission I provided last 3 recent taxes I provided 1044, w2, tax transcripts, and provided 6 months of paystubs. 
 

For the w2’s the company I work for was bought by a different company early in the year. I received two w2’s for 2020 one says roughly $2k and the other says $33k. I’m not sure if they just did not look at it properly? Based on the uscis poverty guidelines I do make above the 125% considering it is GROSS INCOME correct?

This is the letter we got. We provided Form I-864, W2s, 1044, tax transcripts and last 6 months of paystubs.

In the bottom of your letter, it indicates the I-864 form "has one or more deficiencies".  It appears your answer lies in the completeness of the form (or lack of).  Carefully review the form that was submitted and make sure none of the required information was omitted.
