We just got all our documents approved on the CEAC and received the message that says "Please submit every 2023 W-2, 1099, and Schedule form for *husband*"

We know what a w-2 is, that's easy. But neither of us have heard of a 1099 or a "Schedule" form. Any idea what this is?

Not sure if the problem is on my side, but I have been unable to see the Popular Topics recently. Anyone else experienced this/has solutions to offer?

I got an RFE on my AOS for insufficient income. They said this on there:

Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified. In order to be a qualified sponsor, the petitioning sponsor s Form I-864 must be properly completed and signed, and the supporting documents must establish that the petitioning sponsor s income meets 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the sponsor s household size. Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the joint sponsor, [redacted], on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified.

The Total Income line on IRS Form 1040 is used to determine qualifying income for a sponsor, not the Gross Receipts line from IRS Schedule C or C-EZ.

My husband does not make any income since he goes to school. So he has no income coming through, and he has not filed any taxes. My father-in-law agreed to be my joint sponsor. He had a company he no longer owns, and his adjusted gross income for the past 3 years was significantly lower than the household threshold. However, this year in June, he started a new job and he s been making over $2,400 a week, which is around $100k yearly. I was able to provide 3 months of pay stubs, a letter explaining his past business income that will not affect him anymore, and employment verification.

I was told that current income was king. So what do I do?

I don t know if the verification letter might be why, since it doesn t mention a salary.

Is there an additional fee after we paid the CEAC fees? (Affidavit and IV Application)? After reading the interview prep guide in their website it indicated there's an immigrant fee. I thought that's what the $325 fee was when we had to submit those before the civil documents? Is this another fee we'll have to pay provided we get approved? These fees are adding up Boundless was supposed to give us the breakdown but they didn't give us that fee!
