someone (USC) who didnt file tax for the past 2 years (2021-2022)  got RFE for i-864 when he filed for his mother 2 months ago. 
 
situation : 
1. he didnt make enough for the past 2 years 
2. he need joint sponsor ( that he never submit in the initial submission)
3. this person said " i had a business and i lost / didnt make money. therefore i didnt file tax"
 
i told him to go to CPA to file that tax 2021-2022. and suddenly voila, he can produce tax return report that he got from CPA.
he cant produce tax transcript, something about website is closed for the moment to file tax ? ( not clear), but AFAIK, even when u lost for ur business, u still need to file tax no matter what, even when he finally got joint sponsor who made more than enough. 

helped filing for a friend under 5 years rule. 2.5 months early filing
parents of USC and came to the US as GC holder ( consular processing)
 
filing date (online) : 12/22/24 
most likely will get biometric appointment since she never done it in the US at all
evidence to submit : tax transcripts
field office : Los Angeles

Most of undocumented immigrants ( eg : didn’t come on inspection) don’t have anything to lose. They usually came because they want to make a better life for them, most of them are poor therefore lack of education and didn’t think much about the consequences. If something happened what worst can it be for them ? Deportation. ( they are okay with that ) 
 
now the issue is when they met someone that’s USC and get married. Now that’s when they realized it’s not easy to change status just because they married to USC, applied for asylum and the list continue. Unfortunately that’s the problem lack of information and education.  I guess now thanks to the internet/forum etc, more and more people know a little bit more about immigration than let say 30 years ago. So hopefully more people have more knowledge ?

Depend. U can’t just apply for asylum just because u have no other option “beside asylum”. Asylum is not a rope / thread to keep u stay floated (even though people think like that) most asylum case is not approved anyway and once you are in removal proceeding it will take long time to get out of the court (if there’s a path to adjudicate through something else )

undocumented = came to the US without inspection ( eg. crossed the border without inspection from CBP). 
 
overstayed = came to the US with passport and inspected with CBP ( eg. arrived in the airport )
but then didn't leave the US when the time's up ( overstayed). 
which one in this case? big difference of those two
 
 
asylum = real or fake reason? even real reason is hard to win let alone for fake reason. and also if the person applied a year after they entered USA, not gonna win even if its real reason. asylum is not a status

I only have one signature all my life. for some reason I think its a best idea when I was 10 years old lol
anyway, my signature is not spelling out my first/last name. it just a scribble that noon knows the meaning except me ( it actually combination of my baptist name that's not even on legal document) and I never have issue. don't know if my answer actually help u, but what I'm trying to say is, u don't need to sign it with ur old name, last name, first name, new name whatever it is as long its YOU who sign it.
 
what they gonna do? reject u to become USC just because ur signature doesn't match ? if they complained u can explain to them WHY. just to my 0.02. 

there's no rule that you have to change your name once you got married. 
just focus on co-habitation evidences, that's more important

try to file by paper and include cover letter with explanation like what u wrote on ur original post. just my 0.002 along with short timeline explanation/detail

Exactly .   Coming in confidently incorrect, and asking VJ veterans offering CORRECT advise to not comment…..   so tiresome.

I agree. This is a classic example of an OP not asking the right questions and thinking they know the process. If he had asked if the I-693 was necessary instead of asking for civil surgeon recommendations, the thread would have been a lot shorter!

In that case, why did you create this long, unnecessary thread and reprimand those of us trying to help by explaining how this works?

ur visa expire date wont be later than your 6 month medical.
i wouldnt do that ( get a visa but didnt use it)

Most states only give unemployment for max 6 months. So the answer is no, UI is not equal income. When I got married with my spouse he’s been laid off for 9 months. The UI already dried out by then. We waited till he got a job while prepping the application. The moment he got a job (5 months after we got married) we sent the application right away because we know his salary from Nov ( when he got the job) and Dec are over minimum requirement income for 2 people in household. 
 
also you need to have joint sponsor. Better send the application with joint sponsor on file then get the RFE later
 
im helping someone who got RFE for the same exact thing right now, it’s not pretty 

1. enter US with K1 visa with current name
2. apply for SS with his current name. note he cant work without an EAD. he need to have EAD to work and not just SS. just marry with USC didnt give him right to work until he got his EAD
2. get marry in the US
3. file AOS with new married name ( means all application will filled out with new name). his current name become maiden name. attached marriage certificate, that's legal document that acknowledge he take ur last name. bear in mind, he cant change his first name with that married certificate. he can only take ur last name because it considered not a "name" change
4. he will get EAD/GC with his current first name + ur last name. he can use that to apply for DL, etc
5. in the mean time he can use his new american first name that he pick, socially, just not legally. i never changed my name at all when i married my US spouse. not even take his last name too. but when i applied for job, i put his last name on the resume because my last name is foreign and i didnt get any single call from hiring manager because of that. the moment i put his last name on my resume, companies start to call me believe it or not. when a company finally hire me, i gave them my EAD with my legal name obviously, and by then they dont care because they indeed want to hire me. i use my husband's last name for everything like dry cleaning, ordering food bla bla bla. 
6. no need to change his passport with new name, because he doesnt need too. thousand people did this without an issue
7. wait till naturalization and he can change his first name, middle name, last name whatever he wants without cost

it can be up to 120 days
its sporadic and theres no exact average

your whole posts sounds desperation to get a visa. 
being gay doesnt mean that u can just apply for asylum. asylum is not a visa
im out
