RFE Received AOS I-485 (I-864)

[bruhkhan 0]

Hi everyone.

 

I received a generic RFE requesting a new I-864 based on the I-485 forms I applied for my parents. To give a background, I'm currently a full-time student and my income is $0. So previously, I submitted the I-864 forms for my parents with an I-864A, which showed my father's foreign assets since he doesn't have an income either as he's retired. The number was well above 5 times the 125% of I-864P, alongside supporting documents like property documents, appraisals, etc. Not to mention, I last filed my taxes in the year 2020, and I didn't file taxes afterwards since I was out of the states + my income was well below the required minimum to file. What I do know I did wrong was I put my household size as "3", including myself, my parents, in each form, when I should have put 2 instead. I'm not sure whether it's the fact that the immigration officer has a hard time being convinced that the assets are liquidated easily given it's from a foreign country, or something related to the cash limit of the originating nation. Or whether it's just some typos, as it's a very generic RFE which you can see attached below.

 

I'm considering finding a joint sponsor to make things easier and smoother, as a more concrete proof of income, but I'd like to avoid that since most people aren't willing to do so. If possible, I'd like to show that my household has enough money in the form of assets to not require a co-sponsor which we do, but I don't know whether I should submit more proofs like county tax assessments of the properties and assets, or just find a joint sponsor altogether somehow. Also, if I were to go to a lawyer, can anyone give an estimation of how much the expenses would be to go through this RFE and whether the lawyer would act as a joint sponsor if given money?

 

Thank you for your time.

Giving a lawyer money to act as a joint sponsor is 100% fraud.

 

You need a legitimate joint sponsor, or get a job or two so you can sponsor them.
