request for intial evidence- i-864

[TheInquisitor]

so i sent in my i-485 with a joint sponsor. as far as we know, everything was fine. the last missing document is a letter from the bank.

so the letter says:

F [x] (35) We are unable to determine if the joint sponsor's household income meets or exceeds 125% of the federal poverty line for
the household size claimed on Form I-864 based on the documents submitted with Form I-864. Submit proof that the
petitioner's household income meets or exceeds 125% of the federal poverty line. If the petitioner's household income does not
meet or exceed 125% of the federal poverty line, you must obtain one joint sponsor whose household income meets or exceeds
125% of the federal poverty line for the joint sponsor's household size. If required, the joint sponsor must submit the
documents listed below and a completed and signed Form I-864. You must have one joint sponsor who meets or exceeds the
poverty guidelines.

• []Federal income tax returns and W-2s for the most recent tax year or certified Internal Revenue Service (IRS) copies. To
obtain return transcripts of your income tax records from the IRS, you may complete Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of
Tax Return, found on the Internet at http://www.irs.gov/ or call toll-free (800) 829-1040 to order a "Return Transcript." If the
sponsor was not required to file a federal tax return for the most recent tax year, the sponsor must provide an explanation as to
why s/he was not required to file federal income taxes.

• []I Evidence of current employment or self-employment including a letter from each employer on business stationery, showing
beginning date of employment, type of work performed, number of hours worked per week, and salary or wage; paid. If you are
self-employed, submit a recently dated letter on business letterhead or a business license

what does this mean? the person that did it for us has yet to see the letter (in another state), but tells us that they have no clue until they see the letter.

i thought that perhaps it could be something in the form. but there is no part 35, hence no F section. any clues? and does this mean that the federal income tax section is okay? and is it true too with evidence of current employment?

also, the letter says that the evidence must "inlcude this letter." does that mean it has to be the original?

and while we are at it, could this be the last request for evidence? thank you.

btw, the letter says that i won't be able to get a employment authorization for 90 after they get their request. does this mean that the employment is placed on hold or it will go on and not given to me after 90 days? the local office is should a disgrace that it might not matter. it does suck i will have to wait at least 90 days.

and does this affect biometrics and other things? thank you.

Well , before they can send you a EAD or schedule you for a Biomertics , You will have to send in the documents . Your case will begin processing only after these documents are sent to the USCIS .
The letter says it all ...
1.You will have to send them Federal income tax returns and W-2's

2.Evidence of current employment

You can send a copy of this letter along with the above documents .

The reason for the sponsor to make more than 125% of the federal poverty level is to make sure that the beneficary does not eat up any federal money .... Simply put , they should be able to support you ....

F [x] (35)F - It is an internal code for the USCIS .
You could have more RFE's , or may not have any based on the documents you provided with your original application .

Good Luck

if not mistaken, the joint sponsor sent copies of the actual 1040. the error codes speak of transcripts. should we get them too? i will speak to them.

so everything is on hold? the ead has its own transcript and its own date inthe local office. will that continue? and if approved, will they hold it until the 90 days? or will they start the process once again after 90 days? and let's say they get the documents on thursday and on friday the clock starts. let's say that on day 451 there is another rfe. will the clock start once again?

thank you.
