Wow, you're still waiting for a decision on your AOS?? That's unusual, have you contacted your Congress person to see if they can help out by contacting USCIS on your behalf to get some answers?

 

How did the interview go? Did the immigration officer seem suspicious about anything?

Honestly I question everything. I thought the interview went great. She spoke to us for almost an hour letting us know what to expect after getting the green card and also not to travel too much until I become a citizen. 

We had our interview July 2017. Since then our case was transferred to South Carolina from Atlanta for processing due to Atlanta having high case volume so SC would process it for us. SC requested an updated medical exam and nothing since then. Im waiting on my 3rd work permit. Congress reached out and they said they are still processing said to wait 60 days.

I think I might be the only one still waiting on a response since filling dec 2016. Anyone else since waiting for approval post interview?

Oh yes oh yes :D, next step wait like a lion in the savannah for my postwoman to deliver it 

I know the feeling I'm waiting for my update for it being mailed right now. Got the approval letter in the mail.

But that's still not what should be entered as current annual income. What you would anticipate on line 7 is. Simply: current individual income = hourly x  40 x 52 (or however one is paid). The Line 22 is only for 19a-19c

No I wasn't telling her what to put on the form I was referring to what they are looking for to be above the amount on the poverty guideline form. Thanks for your input and correction. Was just giving information from my experience.

That's not correct. The current annual income that you enter is supposed to be the anticipated gross income for the year if you are a regular employee that receives a w2. If the sponsor is self-employed it is the anticipated AGI. If you file 1040EZ normally, it is again the anticipated AGI.

On the past year's returns (19a-c), you enter exactly what is on line 22 if regular 1040 and received not self-employed, AGI if self-employed and AGI if it was a 1040EZ.

 

Now, If past income hasn't changed until the current, i.e. no raises or job changes or similar for the sponsor, the amount earned for last years return will be the same as the anticipated income for the current year. BUT again, the anticipated gross income (with exceptions mentioned above).

 

You will get the notice that 125% is not met as the consequence of smth else not being correct, even when the income meets the requirement. There have been tons of these rfe's recently.

I was referring to what would be on line 22 of the tax return. Thx for the information

Yes pension from a railroad company and tax returns. No assets I don't think. But I know the income is over 50k

A letter stating his pension and his tax returns for 2013 2014 2015 would be enough. Once your able to prove income and the adjusted gross is at the amount to support them and you then that should be fine.

If you could get tax transcripts from the joint sponsor that would be ideal but not required.

I've called USCIS twice. They said 2016 is fine but I'm not sure 

 so I will have a joint sponsor by the end of the week. They are retired though? Is that okay? 

Do they have proof of income such as Social Security or a Pension? Assets?

Just now, Mthldou said:

Okay we will  

even though if adjusted income for 2016 is above what they ask for ?

Im not sure if anyone has had success sending in the following years tax returns. You filed in 2015 tax year and I'm not sure if sending 2016 tax returns would help. If you have a qualified joint sponsor id say go with that to avoid another RFE or possible denial that would delay you any further.

Need advice! Do I need a joint sponsor? 

 

My husband was a student all the way until April of 2016 when he started his new job. 

2015 tax returns weren't enough but we filed in 2015 with pay stubs for the past 8 months and letter from employer. 

Rfe in January about wrong household size. I fixed the issue. 

Now another RFE saying his income isn't high enough (when in fact it is by several thousands ). So 2015 return didn't not have enough but 2016 definitely does. I don't know what to do. 

Well for the 2016 return is says 25,789 adjusted gross income. So it's definitely enough. But not for 2015. His annual income is 26,767 which is what it says on his employment letter and what I wrote down on the annual income field. 

His annual income  isn't what they are looking for. His adjusted gross income is what they want. Based on his gross income that you stated his adjusted gross income would fall below the requirement. I would suggest getting a joint sponsor.

What is a last minute RFE?

Last minute because people usually get RFE within the first 2 months but at the 3 month mark you wouldn't be expecting to get a RFE. 

So Ive just been seeing people getting RFE after 90 days instead of EADs. Not a lot of people just a few people close to my recipes number 

Has anyone that raised a SR in the last week received an update ?

Ive been search on the App for the people close to my Receipt number and I see a lot of people getting last minute RFE and it has me concerned.

They've received my RFE response on the 3rd and still nothing?! What can I do? Is this normal? It's been 83 days since my PD 

It is completely normal. If they have issues with your case they will send another RFE. If you hear nothing it just means they are processing. Usually when you get an RFE they don't allow you to call in and do a Service Request. Wait until 90 days and do one online. Hopefully you hear something soon.
