Ok, that's what I was wondering!
Thanks for all the help!
Ya'll are the best!

oh yes! Thanks! I guess sometimes you just need some outside input to fix the problem!
i see that she put 4 instead of 5 on the i864. Yes the income is still well over the 35,500 needed. Would this be grounds to ask for assets though? or would fixing the entry mistake be enough?

woops.... sorry!
She filed jointly despite there being 1 income as my father is retired

2014 tax return was included.
She filed jointly with my father and claimed 2 children as dependents.

She included only her income on the i864

The RFE stated that based on documents submitted with form I-864, affidavit of support, for the joint sponsor, the income did not meet 125% of poverty guideline for the joint sponsor's household size. The evidence we included were pa stubs, w2 and letter from employer stating the amount she makes and that she has worked there over 10 years and to contact them with questions.
​It then goes on to to suggest submitting evidence of assets the meet the standards listed below. Assets must equal the stated difference b/w the joint sponsor's household income and 125% of the poverty guideline.
The only thing listed that applies to me is "assets must equal 3x the difference for a spouse or child of US citizen.
With evidence of assets being stocks, bonds, etc

I just don't understand why if the income is 3x+ the 125%poverty line that we would need to further prove it with assets. I can always submit those things, but I just don't understand why what was submitted wasn't sufficient.

Today I received an RFE that states the income did not meet 125% poverty guidelines. I am a medical student who has no real income and receives student loans. My mother was a joint sponsor who's income was more than 3 times the necessary 30,312 for a household of 4. I've gone over the forms sent in multiple times and am unable to find a mistake on how the information was entered.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something...or if this was likely an error on their part. Has anyone else had this experience? If so, how was it solved?
I've called USCIS before regarding other matters and they were largely unhelpful and could not provide me with any real information. Would it be a good idea to schedule an info pass appointment to see if I am missing something? I would like to send all the necessary documents asap but I really don't want to make the same mistake and end up with another RFE or denial.

Well,the problem is that the wedding has been paid for, and if the visa is not approved by that time then all the money spent on church, reception, etc is lost because it is non-refundable as evidenced by contract...and this is thousands of dollars. Initially, this seemed like a good idea because I finally had a date (yay!) as well as supporting evidence that the marriage would actually take place within 90 days of entering the country. At the start of this process I did not realize that TSC was so dysfunctional, and if I had I would have obviously chosen a different date. However, I am now in a situation where it is pretty likely that the visa won't be processed in time and therefore resulting in me losing thousands of dollars which could all be avoided if he were here. Even though I am well aware it is an uphill battle and won't be easy, it's probably the best shot I have.

Thanks!
I knew it was going to be an uphill battle to begin with, but again, the main loss is to me and would happen whether or not he had a job. That issue was more of just an extra stressor to the situation. Thanks ya'll!

He was not coerced, just told it needed to be done when ready. And yes I have a co-sponsor.

And yes I understand about the beneficiary's financial loss not being considered, makes sense! But the main financial loss would be on me, the USC.
I was just wondering what the best way to go about sending evidence would be. I would much rather not discuss my life and my financial situations on a public forum which is why I won't go into detail here
I will just try again and see what happens, again the worst answer I can get it no (which is what I expect) but there's no harm in trying.
Thanks for all the feedback!

Ok! thanks for the quick response!
He is the German fiance and once his boss heard he was moving to the US he was told he needed to submit a letter of resignation, which he did, making August 31 his last day.
I am the USC and am in an unfortunate situation atm and am a med student with significant loans.
I'll try again I guess,I know everything is case by case basis but the worst they can do is say no.
Thanks again!

hey ya'll, so this is my first post here but I've been following for awhile. I have a quick question. So I filed for an expedite via phone due to severe financial loss to individual and told the woman I spoke to that the evidence was in the initial petition. However, I was denied, as they stated, "although your situation appears serious, you have not provided evidence" but they never looked at the petition for the evidence since I can see that with that USCIS account. Which after the fact, I understand because if they take the time to dig up the petition at the blackhole that is the TSC they may as well expedite it. I was going to try again except sending the documents again separately and highlighting the important points. So I was curious what the best way to do that was. Should I just send a letter or is there an email address that I can send it to? Thanks in advance!
