#1- Ensure you've read the I864 instructions FIRST. 1. Return Transcript OR not And 2. Copies of your full FEDERAL tax Return (all pages and schedules) AND earnings statement(s) (Earnings statements are W2s or 1099s). No. The 1040 is not a full tax return. Yes if that's how many pages your Complete Federal return is. If those are FEDERAL, yes. It will say Schedule as the title. *BUT you can avoid ALL of your confusion and simply submit a Return Transcript. The instructions will be helpful to you to eliminate your confusion.

1. It's is a VJ RECOMMENDATION to provide a photocopy of your PERSONAL DS3025 Vaccination Record PHOTOCOPY with your I485 submission ONLY as a REMINDER to your adjudicator to locate your AFILE which WILL have your medical record completed abroad as it was collected at your POE and transferred from DHS to USCIS. It is not a USCIS REQUIREMENT to provide a photocopy. It is US SUGGESTING it because adjudicators do not always know about the K1 exemption and will request an I693 instead. If they see your DS3025 photocopy, they will know you've completed your medical already. 2. Your panel physician is required to give you a copy of ONLY your DS3025 Vaccination Record AND XRay CD. They are not required to give you a copy of your ENTIRE medical. Contact them and remind them of THEIR requirement and your eligibility to file a COMPLAINT with the CDC. And if they do not respond (which they will once threatened) file a complaint. 3. Please fill out your VJ timeline in reciprocity. Your statistics help all members while we help YOU personally. A blank one helps no one and that's not fair.

Sounds like you are not eligible to get a DL in your state in a name other than what is on your current immigration documents because you are an immigrant and it has nothing to do with you "claiming married on your DL" (since when do DLs have relationship statuses on them?) That IS the protocol. Married Immigrants change their name by applying for their first immigration document their married name. You've done that. Once you get that document, you'll be eligble for a DL in that name. That's exactly how it works.

I-693
K1visaHopeful replied to KJ2024's topic in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas
Explain why you need another medical but FIRST read through the I693 instructions explaining the K1 medical exemption. I also strongly recommend joining your monthly K1 AOS Filing forum to learn the basics about your process from your filing peers. -
Basis for appealing would have to be that USCIS made an error however it sounds like you did not comply with your RFE correctly so that would be your mistake not theirs. You can: 1. Post what others above have asked for as our ability to help depends on understanding the situation. 2. Refile correctly ASAP. In the meantime, fill out your VJ timeline in reciprocity.

Received RFE for I-485
K1visaHopeful replied to Anon_0110's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Your timeline is blank. Your timeline must be filled out to get my help. -
If this is the same series of questions for the same application you've been asking about all week you were told not to post here in K1 AOS as you've been moved to the correct forum already. Please post only on the same thread and refrain from starting a new topic each time for the same application. I have moved this thread to the correct forum again and have reported this one so all of your threads can be combined.

If your husband is not willing to sponsor like you said, only your income goes in 7 and then transferred to 12. ??Who is the two?? You and your husband are 2 but you havent counted the immigrant(s) which you need to. Youll need enough for your household (you and your husband PLUS the number of immigrants you are sponsoring now or have sponsored in the past and anyone else included in your household as per instructions.) A review of the I864 instructions will be helpful to you so you can understand what household size means. Google "USCIS I864P" for the current chart of the FPGLs.

It's saying they will accept a letter to prove your income because they know it's more current than tax reported income during the majority of the year. Its saying an EVL is more current so you may use it as an option to prove current income "Also" indicates they are secondary option to the EVL. They would have appeared together as an "or" if exclusive. "Also" indicates "and" not "or". "May" indicates that either are optional to using tax return income. Paystubs may be even MORE current than what an employer may estimate and be ACTUALso they are a package together if you do wish to use paystubs "also". How did you file taxes? Your tax filer is required to give you a copy immediately upon submission. That's why I didn't understand why you don't have one already.

Please know I'm answering for everyone reading because many make these miniscule but catastrophic mistakes. If you didn't file 2024 taxes yet when you filed AOS, there would be no reason to show your 2024 tax info UNLESS the tax year has rolled over when you filed AOS. Up until April 15th 2025, the tax year is 2023. You are not required to submit anything tax related for 2024 until after then UNLESS YOU WANT TOO and IF you want to your tax proof must be COMPLETE. A W2 alone is not a Complete tax proof. You didn't need to add it then. You were never required to submit anything tax related for 2024 until April 15th 2025. Your error was submitting your 2024 W2 AT ALL. Please please please read through those instructions to gain clarity. Ensure you understand what a complete federal tax return copy consists of because unfortunately now that you've submitted your 2024 W2 in error, they won't allow a simple transcript. You'll be required to submit a complete return copy without missing pages to satisfy that part of the RFE. If you're going to use an EVL for c current income (can't tell if you are still) ensure it contains your start date, estimated annual income AND it's on official company letterhead. Ensure you read the part of the instructions that state EVL is primary and paystubs are secondary/optional and no less than 6 months.

No! As the instructions state, you can't ADD paystubs without an EVL. Paystubs are SECONDARY proof not primary. Your amount in Part6Q7 comes from the amount your employer made up and input ON your EVL as your estimated annual salary/earnings. Six months paystubs only proves you are HEADED IN THE DIRECTION of the amount your employer stated on the EVL. Just like the W2, paystubs are NOT standalone. Do not submit paystubs without a properly filled out EVL that states your annual salary/earnings. IF you submit an EVL, THEN you can help them to do the math If you want FROM your paystubs in the Additional Information section. Ie. I've earned $X in Xnumber of pay periods so far in the year so I'm estimated to earn $X in 52 payperiods in the year. Or you can say nothing at all and just use the amount from your EVL and back it up with 6m current paystubs. Do you have an EVL? No? Then you can't submit paystubs. ? If you are choosing 1C. because you now have a 2024 Tax RETURN TRANSCRIPT? (Which in the above comments as far as I've read, you didn't have yet?) Do you have a 2024 Tax RETURN Transcript now? Then yes, you can use the amount from the Transcript? Do you NOT have a 2024 return transcript yet? Then you can only use a 2024 complete federal tax return copy including all pages and schedules AND your earnings statements. Please reread what I took the time to write. And please review the i864 instructions too.

Do you mean acting as a joint sponsor for a K1 AOSer as you've posted this in K1 AOS forum? Or for someone completely doing another process that you've not indicated in your post? Your VJ timeline is blank so we cannot guess. Please fill it out. Are you a US citizen or GC holder so this post can be moved so not to confuse K1s in this forum. Yes. No. 1040 is not a complete federal tax return and not the preferred format. No you should submit a Tax Return TRANSCRIPT and (as the form instructions state) your W2's also to indicate your personal income to differentiate your income from his on your MFJ transcript. The copy of the actual tax return is not the recommended format as the instructions state. Ensure you've read the instructions. Your personal income should be in input on Part 6 Q7 where it asks for current individual income. Q12 is for if you are adding the income of household members above it. Your joint tax reported income should be in Part 6, 16a-c. Please use Part and question numbers for anything else. Not sure what this means? "The total income"? Who's income? Yours alone or yours combine which you cannot use unless he agrees to sponsor too? Part 6 Q7 is YOUR current income and by what you've eluding to, you are using your W2 to prove it. (There are other methods as described in the instructions). Part 6 Q12 is your households' total income for ALL household members agreeing to sponsor. Your Q7 and Q12 will be the same number. Part 6 Q16a-c only proves you filed taxes which you are required to do to sponsor so it will have the total income of your MFJ file return. The amounts don't matter unless your W2 shows you cannot support your household alone including all immigrants you are sponsoring and have sponsored previously and everyone living in your household now. You ALONE must earn enough for all household members and that includes your husband whether or not he is willing to sponsor or not. He is still included in your household size. Details on your household size is necessary to elaborate. Please indicate your immigration status so this post can be moved ASAP if necessary and fill out your immigrants VJ timeline as required.

What DOCUMENT did your Current Income as listed in Part 6, Q7 come from? The only options are as an EMPLOYED sponsor: 1. A. The total income on your 2023 tax RETURN Transcript IF you filed your I864 before April 15th 2025 and have not filed 2024 taxes yet. Your 2023 Return Transcript is your document to submit to fulfill the proof. W2s are NOT REQUIRED as the instructions state when you submit a Transcript and will get you an RFE if you do for not following instructions. OR NOT AND 1. B. The total income on your 2023 FEDERAL actual tax return copy IF you filed your I864 before April 15th 2025 and have not filed 2024 taxes yet. Your 2023 FEDERAL actual tax return copy (ALL pages and schedules, could be many many) AND all Earnings statements for that year too (W2s) are your proof. OR NOT AND 1. C. The total income on your 2024 Taxes IF you filed I864 before April 15th 2025 AND you WANT TO use 2024 tax reported income BUT you have to have: I. A copy of your 2024 Return Transcript OR NOT AND II. A copy of your 2024 complete FEDERAL tax return (all pages and schedules) AND your W2s. It DID NOT NEED to be accepted or processed. You just needed a copy which you would have gotten the moment you submitted it. OR NOT AND 2. An employment verification letter (EVL) stating your ESTIMATED ANNUAL earnings that you will make in 2025. You will back this up by submitting the most recent 6 months of paystubs that will BACKUP the estimate your company came up with. At minimum, your issue is you submitted a W2 for 2024 BUT you did not submit the matching 2024 Complete Federal tax return copy as required in the instructions. If you didn't have a copy of your tax return yet, you should not have submitted the W2 as it proves nothing. Now they know you filed and that you want to use 2024 income so you have to prove it. And once you submit a W2, they'll ask for the corresponding COMPLETE federal tax return for that year and they won't allow you to submit a Transcript instead which runs the HUGE risk of missing a page. Remedy: #1 Provide the complete FEDERAL tax return copy (all pages and schedules) AND the corresponding W2 (again). If you wish to put that amount in Part 6 Q7 as current income that's all you need as proofs for that question. Know the RFE is asking for these documents now regardless because you submitted the 2024 W2 in error. #2 if you wish to use your EVL amount as current income in Part 6 Q7, you'll need to submit that ALSO AND it is recommended to ALSO submit 6 months of current paystubs too as back up. You MUST HAVE AN EVL to submit paystubs. Paystubs are ONLY recommended SECONDARY to the EVL. You cannot use Paystub amounts alone for Part 6 Q7 MOTS: the numbers in the boxes have to match the documents you provide exactly. They are not estimates. For others reading, ill say this time and time again....do not submit useless documents that prove nothing. Only submit documents for the purpose of proving an exact amount you input on the form. And if you have to explain it, DO THAT in the Additional Information section.

You've posted this in the K1 AOS forum AND your timeline is STILL blank. I've moved it to the appropriate forum. I ask that you fill out your timeline immediately as you've already been asked, be wary of where you post, explain when you post so that K1 AOSers reading this in their forum aren't confused by what doesn't apply to them.

"Actively bring Reviewed" means nothing. Sometimes the status never changes. I've been a GC holder since 2019 and my i485 is still received. It means nothing. Please fill out your VJ timeline in reciprocity as it is completely blank. Your statistics help all VJ Members while we help you personally. A blank one helps no one.
