I received my RFE in the mail and I'm a bit confused, so I'm asking for your help!
My RFE mentions that in my Affidavit of support, my sponsor (which is my husband) has to submit his tax returns papers for the most recent year.
My husband worked the same job during the entirety of 2018 and is not self-employed, so I sent his 2018 (along with 2017, just to make sure) W-2 from said job.
Back when I filled for the affidavit of support for the K-1 Visa, I was able to provide summaries of W-2 without any issues, so I did the same because they accepted it without any problems in the past. Is that my mistake? Is sending the W-2 summary not enough? I don't really understand tax forms in the US and I'm always the one filing for everything, so I most likely messed up somewhere.
Unless there's something else I'm missing, I don't really know what to send them back except a complete version of the W-2?
Thanks in advance!
I received the same RFE, and it had quite a bit of requests. Such as attach all W-2's, 1099s, and then the actual 1040 filed, along with saying that i didn't meet the poverty guidelines. Then in another section it said even through my income was sufficient, that i didn't show proof of income like last 6 months of paystubs, which would conflict with the failure to meet the poverty guideline language . I think most of the language on the RFE is boiler template, even though it may not apply to you. I was well over the poverty guidelines so definitely not the problem. I know that i sent in my 2017 transcripts with the AOS filing, so I know they just really wanted the most current tax return.
I basically responded with the following, i know it was overkill but better not to have another RFE come back:
1 2018 W2
2 2018 Federal income tax return
3 2018 Income tax transcript (easily obtained from IRS website)
4 12 months of bank statements, brokerage accounts etc.
5 Last 6 months of paystubs
6 Letter from my employer
I think i just threw everything in there just to be safe
