K1 AOS RFE - I864 Joint Sponsor Retired

[alg_ 7]

Finally managed to submit my K1 AOS in the middle of December and received an RFE for the I864 asking for a joint sponsor. We asked my mother in law and she agreed to be our joint sponsor but I am unsure of what to submit in the RFE package. She retired last month and hasn't actually received her first Social Security check. We put she's retired on the form but on her income we put the income on her last tax transcript from when she still worked which is almost double the Poverty Guidelines. We also mentioned in the additional information section that she recently retired and hasn't received any Social Security so we don't know exactly how much she'll be getting. We're submitting the form, her tax transcripts for the last 3 years and her birth certificate. Is there an anything we should be including or mentioning?

If she hasn't already have her create a login to her account at the Social Security website.  One of the things she'll be able to access there is a document called Your Social Security Statement which will give an estimated amount of her monthly benefit.  I'm not sure I would include that document with your paperwork for USCIS (I mean, you could), but at least you'll have a good guess as to what the amount will be.

 

For the rest of us, anyone who pays into Social Security can do the same.  The statement also tells you what it thinks you paid into Social Security and what it thinks you might receive as a monthly benefit depending on when you retire.

Yes, submit the page from her SS account but also submit the document showing she has applied for SS / it isn't automatic / we have to apply 

there should be the amount minus the medicare that automatically comes out with each SSA payment /so she know what to expect in income
