Emergency-- Request for initial evidence I 485

[kennygu 0]

Hi you all, I got a Request for Initial Evidence I 485, today. After reading it very carefully, I learned that I have to submit all the Affidavit of Support forms again. Specifically, the 2006 tax return. But, I do remember I submitted all necessary forms.

Attached is the letter, and I know it is long, but please read it and please please tell me exactly what I need to mail in again. Thank you very much.

My suggestion would be to read everything in that notice carefully. If you already submitted the I-864, and you kept a copy of what you sent, look it and the instructions for the I-846 very carefully and make sure you answered all the questions completely. It appears to me that either you did not send it in or sent it in incomplete or they would not be asking for the I-864.

I got an RFE that only had the language about the taxes, (I had sent them 2003-2005 and a letter from my employer and for 2006 as I had not gotten taxes done yet). Since your notice mentions the I-864 AND the taxes, I would assume you need to send both.

I've noticed other people on the boards who received the same RFE, and they too sent everything in. They sent everything to USCIS again.

From my understanding of notice so far, it seems to inform me that I need to submit all joint sponors' 2006 tax return and employment letters. However, I am not sure if I am correct and don't want to any mistake. Anyway, thank you for your response.

Yes, if you had a joint sponsor, then you need to send that as well. These RFE's are clearly "boiler plates" and are designed to cover various contingencies. You did not mention anything about a joint sponsor in your initial question so I was just assuming you didn't have one.

Hi ! I just replied to my RFE asking for W2s and 1099s and mentioning the tax transcripts again? This time i sent them all the pages against the 2 pages for the 3 years of tax returns. My question or sudden doubt is we sent the copies of the transcripts obtained online as my husband filed it online. is it okay???

According to the notice, it seems to me that only I864 and I864A(I have joint sponors) along with 2006 tax return and employment letters are required. Is it right?

Therefore,based on this notice, I just need to submit I864 and I864A w/ 2006 tax return and employement letters again. No any other forms required, right ?

I think I'd make this a sepreate topic on the main forum. As I understand it, copies of returns that were filed online won't do, so I ordered transcripts from the IRS. I did it over the phone on an automated system and it only took about a week to get them.

I would just send them what you have NOT already sent. I'd include a cover letter stating what was already sent, and what you are sending now is a supplement. I don't think sending them the same information over again will help, it appears they only want some things that you did NOT already send.

I don't think there would be any great harm in sending duplicate information, but if you don't find the items you failed to send the first time and send those, then you might be looking at more delays.

Bill, I sent in the following itmes in first time:

1. I864

2. I864A

3. 2004,2005,2006 tax returns of mine, and my joint sponsors(father,mother, and brother)

4. All copies of US passort.

5. my wife's biographic form

6, my wife's photos and posspart copies w/ I 94, front and back.

7, employment letters

8. A bank statement showing that the monthly payment for mortgage, becuase I included the value of my father's house on his I 864A.

9. An assessment for the house issued by the state department, showing the value of that house.

Besides adding the value of the house on my father's I 864A, my household income exceed the poverty line in my case.

This time, can I just send the most recent tax return, which means 2006 only, and all I 864 forms but just excluding the value of house. That means I won't put my father's house on his I 864 A this time .Is that Okay? It seems that I didn't send in 1099.

Bill, I have another question which is the Federal income tax return. Should I just send in the copies I made(becasue I copies so many tax returns in the first time when submitting I 485) or as the notice says I need to order from IRS?

[pj1959us 0]

Did you send/are you sending the W-2s, 1099s and any Schedules that went with the tax returns? I don't see them listed and they are necessary if sending a copy of the tax returns.

I did send all W2s w/ tax returns. Now it seems that I didn't send 1099s. Can I just send in all tax returns that I have right now( I have so many copies)?

The notice gives a way from which tax transript can be otained from IRS. Is this suggestion only for whose who don't have copies on hand? I do have so many copies of tax returns.

Yes, you can send in your tax return copies instead of the transcripts; just be sure to include the extra documents they specify (W2s, 1099s and any Schedules) that were filed with them.
