p&g

We went to Turkey (only came across one airbnb that wanted a marriage certificate for couples) and Indonesia. No issues checking into airbnbs and hotels and no issues with both our names on the reservation.

Anecdotally, my husband (fiancé at the time) and I were denied check-in at a hotel in Qatar unless we got separate rooms. When I had researched before reserving, I recalled that a marriage certificate was required for Qatari national citizens but found expats wouldn’t need to be married. As it turned out, since my husband held a Tunisian passport, meaning he was from a Muslim country, they required a marriage certificate for us to stay together.

We originally sent in just the tax transcripts. They then requested W2s and/or tax returns and schedules (which I just realized I stated this a little differently in my previous post). We followed up with W2s AND tax returns and schedules Here’s the body of our RFE for clarity. Why We Are Writing You On June 25, 2021, you submitted your Form I-485. We are writing to inform you that we need more information from you to make a decision on your case. Please read this letter carefully and follow all of the instructions below. = What You Need To Do You must provide the following information in order for us to make a final decision on your case. Please include a copv of ALL pages of this letter with your response. • The petitioning sponsor, on Form I-864EZ, Affidavit of Support, must submit W-2s and/or 1099-Rs submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for the most recent tax year. If the petitioner's income cannot be documented on Form W-2 or 1099Rs, the petitioning sponsor cannot submit Form I-864EZ to satisfy the Affidavit of Support requirement. In order to process your application further, you will need to: • Submit a completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, from the petitioning sponsor.

Interestingly, USCIS sent us an RFE for my 2020 tax returns including supporting documents (W2s and schedules). We had submitted my tax transcripts for 2018, 2019 (I got a second job in 2019-present), and 2020. I don’t think this delayed our process since the RFE was sent within days of their receiving our I-485.
