Hello all!
Thanks to this forum, me and my wife successfully cleared the K1 visa process and the i485 is in process.
Unfortunately, we've hit a snag with the I864 and received a generic RFE generically stating that the submission had "one or more deficiencies."
I re-reviewed the form and caught a couple careless mistakes (last and first name was mixed up in one instance and I didn't list a "0" in the irrelevant entries where it asks for persons NOT sponsored on the affidavit.)
One other slightly more involved issue I found was that I did not submit 1099s alongside my tax transcript. I'm gathering up everything I submitted to my accountant last year (including a 1095 and tax information from my various stock trading accounts). However, I won't submit the tax return that my account prepared itself, rather, just the transcript that you can pull from the IRS website (please let me know if this is incorrect!)
The final major point of confusion for me is the income listed for the past three tax years vs. the current annual household income listed in part 6 item 20. I just received a promotion in July to an annual income of 94k, but I obviously didn't make that much for the entire year. Is it incorrect that I've listed this figure as my annual household income?
The income I listed for the past three years was my AGI, but I now realize that is incorrect (I submitted a 1040, not a 1040 EZ) and will update this to the higher "total income" figure from the 1040 form.
Does it seem like the above issues would have prompted the RFE? I'm hoping correcting these items is all it takes to address the RFE. If the above is fixed and there's yet another issue that we somehow didn't catch, will we certainly fail the process?
Y'all's help is much appreciated as always!
