  1. Thanks everybody!

    I don't have a W-2 for 2014 because I was employed by a Singapore-based company and I used the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.

    In lieu of that, would it make sense to send my pay stubs from that year?

    I will also include my W-2s from 2012 and 2013 to establish that I have worked for the same parent company for more than 4 years.

  2. Hello All - Longtime reader of the forums , first time poster.

    I did see one topic somewhat similar to mine, but I wanted to try to get some more clarification.

    To give a little background, I have worked for the same company since September 2011. In 2013, I was sent to work in Singapore on a secondment basis. Technically, I was working for a different subsidiary of the same company. In 2015, I was sent back to the U.S office. In the meantime I fell in love, brought my wife over on a K-1 visa, and we got married right away.

    Fast forward to her AOS process, and we've just received an RFE with three points on it.

    X The petitioner/sponsor lists their current income on Form I-864 as an amount considered to be sufficient; however, no evidence has been submitted as proof of current income.

    Submit evidence of the petitioner/sponsor's current income. Such evidence should include:

    (LIST OF EVIDENCE, PAY STUBS, EMPLOYMENT LETTER, ETC.)

    X Submit all supporting tax documentation (W-2, 1099s, Form 2555, and all supporting tax schedules) submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for the most recent tax year.

    The petitioner/sponsor must submit all supporting tax documents for the most recent tax year.

    X Based on the documents submitted with form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the petitioner/sponsor, the income did not meet 125% of the poverty guideline for the petitioner/sponsor's household size.

    I have a few questions:

    1.) I realize that I should have included my pay stubs and an employment letter. Should I use my pay stubs from Singapore and the US to cover the last 6 months?

    2.) Even though I've technically worked for two different companies, I've been under the same "umbrella" for over 4 years. Will it make a difference to have my employer explain that in the letter? My point here is that my income has been and will be consistent.

    3.) I submitted my tax documents (less W-2s) for FY2013, 2014, and 2015 (which I filed in early January). To be safe, should I submit 2014 and 2015 again? I realize that they may not get to this before April 15.

    4.) My current salary is $72,000.00 USD per year. I was making about $59,000.00 while in Singapore, however, I used the Foreign Earned Income exclusion while abroad. Will my employment letter, pay stubs, and W-2 for the last month of 2015 be enough to prove that I am above the poverty guideline?

    5.) Has anybody else had a similar scenario? If so - how did it pan out?

    Thanks!!!
