@wazzujoel Thank you for taking the time to clarify and explain that you are really trying to help. The language in forums can sometimes feel more critical than helpful, so I appreciate your effort to make things clearer. We have consulted a lawyer, but we feel confident that we can resubmit the I-485 ourselves and be very careful this time about providing exactly what the RFE or any additional documents request. From what we understand, we can resubmit the I-485 as many times as needed (though we obviously don’t want to make this a recurring process). If this is a bad assumption, please correct us.

@wazzujoel Thank you for taking the time to review and provide feedback. I’d like to clarify a few points while addressing your concerns. You are correct that we missed submitting the full tax transcript for the joint sponsor, and we recognize this was an oversight on our part. However, your claim that the RFE did not ask for W-2s is not accurate. The RFE specifically requested evidence of income, which included W-2s as part of the required documentation. While our response to the RFE wasn’t complete, providing the W-2s was an attempt to comply with what was requested, even if additional documents were needed. That said, your tone comes across as unnecessarily condescending. Navigating the immigration process is complex, and while we welcome constructive feedback, there’s a way to offer it without being dismissive or rude. We’re all here to share experiences and help each other. We appreciate your perspective and will focus on fully addressing the RFE requirements moving forward.

We have received various opinions regarding our next steps. The options outlined in the notice of decision are: 1. filing a motion to reopen or reconsider using form I-290B, although many have advised against this due to potential delays, and 2. departing the United States. It’s worth noting that the notice does not mention the possibility of refiling. However, from discussions in forums and advice from others, there seems to be a suggestion to consider refiling, indicating that not all options are clearly presented. To address additional questions: I have already submitted my complete tax returns as the original sponsor when we submitted our initial documents in January 2024, along with the joint sponsor's complete tax returns in April 2024 when requested from the RFE. We did not have access to the 2023 tax returns at the time of providing the additional documents for the RFE.

Hi all, I'm trying not to panic, but getting this letter has hit us both hard. Thank you in advance for your help. We are trying to determine whether to refile I-485 or file I-290B to reconsider or reopen. We did miss a critical point at the end of the letter to provide supporting documentation for my citizenship - they have all my social security and other evidence submitted to receive our 129F petition and approval. However, in our first RFE we provided complete federal tax income returns for the joint sponsor (shown in our USCIS profile) so this is an error on their part. It was 2022 tax returns submitted in April of this year - as 2023 returns were unavailable then. So unsure of what to do next. Denial Notice_Redacted.pdf Request for Evidence Form 1-485_Redacted.pdf

Help, We received a notice of decision that our I-485 was denied, with strong messaging that my husband would have to leave the country within 33 days and that employment authorization would be removed!? My husband and I got married on the K1 visa within 90 days of entry and followed all requested documents and protocol. We submitted all documentation in April, and November we've received notice of denial for complete Federal Tax Return information and evidence of my citizenship (all of which I included). We are terrified. What do we do next? Thank you, Dixie
