I-864 and Taxes

[VJB9 0]

I am just about to send everything in to adjust status for my wife for a green card. But I have a question about taxes on the I-864. I haven't yet filed for 2022, it may still take awhile and that I will need an extension. While I understand it is advised to get the taxes done and than mail this is, it just won't be possible. Originally I was planning on sending in 2019, 2020, and 2021, and all 3 years I do make more than enough. Would there be any expectation that I may run into an issue? And if it gets rejected, is the entire process halted and everything is sent back? And how long would it take to be rejected? Basically I don't want to send it in, have it take several months (or longer) and than everything is sent back. If at least only I-864 was sent back pretty much right away to be updated/corrected, okay then, no big deal.

You can try sending the extension, but there no guarantee that will prevent an RFE.  Nothing will be sent back right away unless you omit required documents.  Also be aware that any delay in the I-485 for required initial evidence (RFIE) will place a hold on the EAD.

Hm...I think overall that works for us. While a delay for EAD not ideal it doesn't matter too much. Doing a bit more research it seems that technically 2021 is all that is needed right now since 2022 file deadline hasn't passed yet, and reading others saying they were just asked to have it for the interview. So maybe it is all hit or miss what will happen. I would suspect that the 3 years I'm providing shows I make well more than enough. My biggest concern was just a flat out denied or other major delays but this overall would appear to be pretty simple to clear up if they ask for 2022, once i have 2022 completed.
