Who are you trying to petition? Your wife, daughter, son, father, fiance, mother, sister? It all depends on the person

You should put US address on your address. I assume you put an overseas address that's why it was denied. Or the address you used on your BOA online application is not associated in your credit report.

I have BOA, WF and Capital One I opened all of them online without any issues by giving my US address, Driver Licenses information and all other required fields.

Almost all banks will allow you to open an account online. WF, BOA, HSBC and many others give you the chance to open online

Taxes are required to be filed even if you haven't worked in the US for all USC. I file my taxes yearly with a CPA back home. Since you're going to the US for a visit, maybe you should visit an accounting firm to help you file your taxes for the entire period you lived out of it.

You don't have to go back home to open an account. You always can open an account online. Also regarding the rent, you can just have a letter stating that you'll be living with family and/or friends until you find the right job for both of you.

I'd suggest to have a joint sponsor to be submitted with your I-864

If it's a certified birth certificate, it should work

Yes, previous termination of marriages are required. Certified copy or original will be required in the interview

I appreciate your speedy reply, I am currently comparing the document cover sheet for the original AOS/IV package with the RFE cover sheet, and in the address for the AOS/IV package, it says "ATTN: CMR AOS" but in the official RFE document cover sheet, it says "ATTN: DR" ... does DR mean document review? and I did not personally send the package, but I am not sure if my attorney has yet, and of course they're closed Saturday/Sunday...

On the RFE checklist document, it says please allow 30 days for review, so I am hoping my attorney didn't send it yet... that could be 30 days vs the original 6 weeks we've already waited.

Our attorney did not check the "Reciprocity by Country" for my husbands birth certificate.. which caused us to get a checklist. This is just so stressful.

This is on the RFE Checklist:

National Visa Center ATTN: DR

31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 100 Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

This is the original address to send the completed IV/AOS packages.

National Visa Center ATTN: CMR AOS

31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 100 Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

Sorry, I don't want to confuse you but maybe you should wait for the attorney and consult with him/her. I don't know why I've been hearing a lot lately about cases are being handled by attorneys and still getting REF.

Here is the Instructions for it

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

Can you send a package with the original document cover sheet when you know about your RFE before getting the email?? Or do you have to wait to send it until you get your official RFE to send WITH the response package?

Can anyone answer this question??

I did just that. I sent updated I-864 for me and for the joint sponsor before I even get my original package reviewed. They scanned my AOS and added it to my original package. If you are sure about the reason for the REF and got a confirmation from NVC by phone or you know what they'll be asking for then you go ahead and send it to save couple of days. That's my opinion

Check the link below for the minimum income

Can't believe it. I just got an Email back from her telling me she does not do electronic filing since there is always requests for documents since they misplace them. And get this... She did not apologize- no she told me she wants the police certificate to be translated. Now on the travel.gov website it clearly says that any documents must only be translated if it is not in the original language of where the petition is being processed, in my case germany. The police certificate is in german. WTH?

I know it's very frustrating but some stuff so simple we miss and we learn from it. You can have someone translate the police clearance report to you and have it notarized. See the below link it might help

Your attorney is an idiot....Sorry you had to deal with such a creature

Ok, I know it's a stupid question. I just sent updated I-864 for me and for the Joint Sponsor. However, I missed to send the freaking proof of citizenship for my Joint. I should know the answer already but I want to rub it in. My joint sponsor has rental income other than the current employment which earns more than $100 k a year. Do NVC really really need a copy of the biographic data page in the US Passport? Seriously

You can open a bank account online and renew your driver licenses as well in most states. As far as living with your mom the letter would help to show you're serious about moving back. You'd have to have someone file I-864 as Join Sponsor since you don't have any types of income and/or tax return (I'm assuming, not sure) but if you have a Join Sponsor and handle the rest online, you should be fine ... Good luck

Would this delay the NVC as well?

Well, I have posted few posts this in another post as well

I submitted all required documents IV and AOS to NVC and the scan date was November 7th. I have reviewed a lot of posts about the foreigner income and issue with tax exempts not meeting with poverty minimum income in our tax return Form 1040 line 22. Indeed I don't meet the poverty minimum income. So I have got a family remember to Join Sponsor my wife for me.

Now here are the questions below:

1 - I have filed I864EZ, do I still need to file I-864 since I'm getting a Join Sponsor with me?

2 - Should I wait for NVC to send me a REF after the review my case? That will take another 3 weeks if I was lucky enough and not request a supervisor review.

3 - Which cover sheet should I submit the new package with the IVA Bar code sheet or the AOS Bar code sheet?

4 - If I submit the new documents right now to save me the time of getting REF, would it be an issue? I know the new scan date will have another 6 weeks on top of it

5 - Is there anything below missing to be submitted with the new package along with the Join Sponsor I-864?

Required List

1 - AOS or IV Bar-coded cover sheet

2 - Petitioner's Completed and signed form I-864

3 - Petitioner's Country of Domicile Letter

Voter registration card showing permanent US address

State Drivers license showing permanent US address

4 - Petitioner's Tax Return for the last three years & Pay-stubs

5 - Join Sponsor's Completed and signed form I-864

6 - Join Sponsor's Tax return for the last three years

7 - Join Sponsor's Evidence of income

Employment Letter

Pay-stubs

Thank you all for your help and hopefully I'd be able to finish with this nightmare within three months as a max with approved visa.

Have you tried to send an email to Riyadhiv@state.gov ? Has the embassy received the package?

Well, I have posted few posts here and I was able to get some clear ideas on how things work while we're trying to get your family back home with you.

I am currently living aboard and will continue my current job for another couple of years as a max. I have filed all required documents with USCIS and things went just fine and approved.

I submitted all required documents IV and AOS to NVC and the scan date was November 7th. I have reviewed a lot of posts about the foreigner income and issue with tax exempts not meeting with poverty minimum income in our tax return Form 1040 line 22.

3 - Which cover sheet should I submit the new package with the IVA Bar code sheet or the AOS Bar doe3 sheet?

4 - If I submit the new documents right now to save me the time of getting REF, would it be an issue?

5 - Is there anything below missing to be submitted for the Join Sponsor I-864?

Why would they request for an updated I-864 and Joint sponsor?

I filed !-864EZ since I met all the three steps in the form. However, I work aboard and my income is tax exempts. So technically in 1040 tax form my gross income is beyond the poverty line but due to the tax exempts I don't meet the poverty income under line #22 and I don't currently live in the US for Country of Domicile. I figured that would request a join sponsor for that based on my reading to everyone else here.
