  • I-864 REF - current income proof

    Hello,
    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    My husband is my petitioner. We sent our I-864 a month ago and received REF to send additional information about his current income. The REF states, "The petitioner/sponsor lists their current income on I-864 as an amount to be considered sufficient; however, no evidence has been submitted as proof of current income."

    My husband had his current job only for 2 months so we only entered his anticipated income for this year on I-864 and sent a letter of employment verification. We did send his 2014,2015, and 2016 tax transcripts and W-2s for 2016, but we did not send his pay stubs.

    1. If he only had his current job for 2 months and USCIS is asking for the pay stubs for the last 6 months, should we send them the stubs from his previous job as a proof of his income which would not be technically current?
    2. Do we also need to get a letter of employment verification from his previous job since we might need to send the stubs from his previous work?
    3. Every month my husband makes different amount since he as an assistant manager gets 15% of all the tips so I wonder what we should put as his current income on I-864 if it fluctuates every month?

    My sister is my joint sponsor. She also just got a new job recently - about two months when we sent our AOS packet. For her we sent a letter of employment verification that stated how much she will be making, a couple of stubs since she worked at her new job for a couple of months, and her 2013, 2014, 2015 tax transcripts. At that time, she did not have her 2016 tax return, so we did not send it. She will be making around $50,000 and she is married and has one kid, so the household of 3 plus me. But the REF states that "Based on the documents submitted with Form i-864 for joint sponsor, the income did not meet the 125% of the poverty guideline for the joint sponsor's household size.

    1. If she will be making $50,000, how is that we have been informed that she does not meet the poverty guideline? Was it because we have only submitted a couple of stubs? However, her letter of employment verification stated how much she will be making. Is it not enough as a proof of current income? Should she get stubs from her previous work just like in the case with my husband-petitioner?
    2. They asked to send info about assets that meet the standards. The REF says, "Assets must equal the stated difference between the joint sponsor's household income and 125% of the poverty guideline". What does it mean?

    Thank you so much in advance!

      I-864 RFE - current income proof

      Hi
      I am filing for my Wife and Step Son, We just moved back to the states last summer, I received the exact same thing I submitted my current job of 2 months and then about 6 months of my previous job and on the 797 it also asked for evidence of Assets well we just moved back and I have none so I called USCIS and they said all I had to do is write a letter stating that my current job was my proof of the 125% of poverty line. I also had not done my 2016 taxes at the time so I gave them a copy of that along with my last 8 months of bank statements and so far that seems to have done the trick. they just sent a letter saying that my wife and son need to get the medicla done now before the Interview so we are going this week to do that. I did not do it first because I heard this takes so long and I did not want to pay twice for it but it is going pretty fast it seems we initially filed mid February. hope this helps they are very helpful on the help line. They explained that the "Assets must cover the difference are only if the income that you are using is not enough to meet the 125%

      I am not a lawyer this is what I have done and it seemed to have worked

      good luck
