US Immigration from Ireland

Hi all,

Probably silly question, but humor me

If my joint sponsor for my husband's I-864 form is in the US - do I still have to prove my domicile in the US as well? I am outside of the states but should have enough to prove domicile still as it's only been a few years and we still file taxes, have bank accounts, etc. etc. But I'd love to be lazy and not need to type up that statement if it isn't truly required lol.

Hello everyone,

I got approved my green card in March yay, apart from the fact my DOB is incorrect. Applied for I90 to replace GC. Got I551 stamp in passport. Travelling to Europe. What documents should I bring with me in order to ensure success re-entry?

I received my I-130 approval and we are just about ready to submit the I-485 adjustment of status. Do we need to submit the I-765 from for working as well? I looked at the form and it basically has all the same questions included in the I-485. Does the I-485 include being able to be approved for work as well?

Just filed Hubs' N-400 on 6/4. He's been eligible for nearly 7 years; we just let life get in the way. Welcome to the thread!

Hi all,

Submitted for AOS paperwork on 5/01 and just received a letter yesterday 5/30 with an RFE. The RFE states:

"Why We Are Writing You

On May 1 , 2023, you submitted your Form I-485. We are writing to inform you that we need more information from you to make a decision on your case. Please read this letter carefully and follow all of the instructions below.

What You Need To Do

You must provide het following information in order for us to make a final decision on your case. Please include a copy of AL pages of this letter with your response.
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. See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines."

I am very confused cause I believed that we did all the paperwork correctly and my total income was above the poverty guidelines. I looked over the submitted papers and everything looks fine however my initial submission included a 1040X (amended return) as my accountant messed up the numbers when he submitted my tax return. I see now that the transcript for 2022 includes a different number than what was under total income in 1040X. Could this have been the issue? Do the agencies share this info to confirm and flag if the number is off (it's off by like $300).

I will resubmit today but I have some questions:

- is it better to submit online than by mail?

- this time I will not include my tax return but rather the tax return transcript (with no additional paperwork 1099, etc.)

- I am self employed and this year (because of the writer's strike) I have been affected financially. Should I just write last year's total income on taxes as my "annual income?"

- how many times can you be RFE'd before you get denied?

Thanks all.
