RFIE Form I-864

[JonathanMetts 0]

Hello everyone, 

 

My wife (the principal immigrant) and I received an RFEI from USCIS 147 days after submitting the I-485 packet. The RFEI requests that I, the primary sponsor, submit a new I-864 due to multiple deficiencies. I am grateful for the chance to correct this form. I believe that most of my issues came from Part 6. 

 

The question that I have for this forum pertains to Part 6 Question 25 "I was not required to file a federal income tax return...". Is this question referring to the most recent tax year or any of the three most recent years? I filed taxes for 2021 and 2020, however I did not file taxes due to no income (I was in college). 

 

So for the third most recent year (2019) I should write "$0.00" in 24.c. and leave 25 unchecked since I filed for two of the three years? 

 

Thanks for the help!

I would leave 23 and 23b unchecked. 23b unchecked if you don't have transcripts for 2019....

And check household total. That's usually another culprit

Total number of members of my household or annual household income? 
 

Also in your first response, did you mean to say 25 instead of “23”?
 

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Yes, leave both 23b and 25 unchecked. 

 

Yes, total number of household members..how many members are you before the immigrant? Do you have any dependants?

I am married to the principal immigrant. No one else is in my household. The only issue I had with the household question was Part 5 question 3 which asks if I am currently married.

 

I am currently married, but to the principal immigrant which I am sponsoring in the avidavit. 
 

In my first submission, I left Part 5 question 3 blank, but after further research it looks like I should put a “zero” in that box.

Zero.

 

Total household should be 2
