I believe we sent a paystub and letter of employment

Here are a couple of the relevant extracts from the RFIE

• Based on the documents submitted with Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the petitioning sponsor, the income did not meet 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the petitioning sponsor's household size. Obtain a qualifying joint sponsor who demonstrates the ability to support you or submit evidence of assets. If you decide to obtain a joint sponsor, you will need to: .........................................................long list of joint sponsor requirements

• The petitioning sponsor lists their current income on Form I-864 as an amount to be considered as sufficient; however, no evidence has been submitted as proof of current income. Submit evidence of the petitioning sponsor's current income. Such evidence should include:
  • Pay stubs or other documentation of pay for the previous 6 months
  • Letter of employment containing the following:
    • Dates of Employment
    • Nature of the job
    • Yearly salary earned
    • Number of hours per week worked
    • Prospects for future employment and advancement

To me that reads like I screwed up in not providing enough evidence and that a joint sponsor is only necessary if I don't have that evidence. What does anyone think?

Hello,

My wife is in her first year as a teacher. Her current income is more than enough to cover the poverty guidelines. In 2017 she was in grad school and didn't earn any money, so the most recent tax return reflects that.

We just received an RFIE saying we didn't provide proof of current income and that as such we were under the poverty guidelines. It also mentioned the option of a joint sponsor.

So I just wanted to clarify whether the fact that my wife didn't earn any money in 2017 is relevant or not, seeing as she is now in full time employment and above the poverty guideline. Is my mistake in not providing enough evidence or do I need to get a joint sponsor?

Thanks,

Cormac

Hi,

My package was delivered on February 8th and I've received no notifications yet. Cheque hasn't been cashed either. I've emailed the Chicago lockbox support but they take 15 days to respond apparently. Is there any other course of action I can take at the moment?

Thanks
