What document did they want in the RFE? ​@@fennyyahtaylor6772

Your videos are such a blessing Kseniya! Just wanted to share my experience here with the I864 and recently updated poverty guidelines. My PD is May 2022 but in January 2023 right after the poverty guidelines got updated we received an RFE for the I-864. We were above the threshold last year but fell below with the update and so we had to get a joint sponsor. I did not know this but any recent updates may apply to people who have applied months before, so this is something to bear in mind. Interestingly, in the RFE letter they never stated what the reason was or what evidence they specifically wanted. So it was through our own digging that we found out that new poverty guidelines had been published which was probably the issue we were now facing.

Good morning, greetings to all who kindly read this message. I am writing with the intention of obtaining information about sponsors in the United States for myself and my three children. We live in Venezuela and we are looking for a better future for my children, their father is currently in the United States requesting political asylum and we have not seen each other for two years and that is why I use this means of communication to beg someone who wants to help us. Whoever reads me and wants to help me, I am attentive by this means. We are not looking to be an economic burden, we just want to meet because my husband does not meet the conditions for family reunification.

Amazing content that you make, love this channel and appreciate the help!

Kseniya, you are God-sent. Thank you so much for providing all of us the opportunity to learn so about the different forms and processes. Thanks for your guidance. ❤

I like your video. It is very clear and understandable. You do not speak like some others, they speak so f fast and hard to digest.

Thank you for this! I have been filing for my father, we sent in the I-130 11 months ago for accepted then for NVC less than 24 hours later. Paid my fees those were accepted two days letter. Uploading my I-865 and joint sponsor files. Thank you!

Thank you. This was very helpful.

Great video. I'm new to all of this, please explain the letter agencies you are referring to. Thank you.

Thanks for guiding us. My spouse just filed a petition (I-130) but she didn’t include my step daughter. Will that be an issue or what should we expect?

Thanks for all of the information you are giving us, but I have a question

Thanks for the new video!!! 👍👏

Good day ma’am. 😊 My case is my petitioner which is my husband is a retired army but his pension didn’t meet the income requirement and he is currently living with his parents (mom and dad). What form should we fill out? And when will the (household sponsor/joint sponsor) enter in the case ma’am? In what stage? What are the requirements needed? Thank you very much ma’am, your answers are appreciated.❤

I just filed for myself for I485 , marriage based. We did get approved for I130 earlier this year (we did it separately because at the time we didn’t know 100% if we could do both together and not enough funds at the time) last year we just made enough over the poverty limit for a household of three but I included more information regarding my husbands current income like 6months paystub and current income amount showing for this year from his work. Let’s see how it goes . And thank you Kseniya for your guidance🙏🏻 would not have been able to navigate it all by myself . Edit : my I485 was just approved and I had no issues ! 125 days

Hi, so how much income would work for 3 person household? Do you think 30715 is enough? The pervious year was less will that impact anything?

Thank you for the information. I’m so glad to find your channel. I have a question. I’m applying for adjustment status. Our household is 3 (my husband, my daughter and I) He has a business, we are sending his taxes 2022. Which amount we need to use in that taxes, he says the amount in 2022 ( $28000+), but I think the amount that appear in Federal Poverty Guideline 2023 ( $31000+) Please help me. 🙏

Hello. I'm so confused I applied for my husband and 3 step kids. My dad and stepmom sponsored them, and I also sent in my income information. Today I received letters for all of the kids i485 requesting more evidence from my dad. He is retired but his income is still a lot as well as my stepmom, she still works. Both of their incomes combined was well over the USCIS requirements. I'm so nervous I just want everything to work out. I filed for them less than a month ago and we have received all their application receipts and the letter today for the income proof. I must say they're working pretty fast! I ran to your videos :) I Love them.

I'm currently on an H1B working visa and have a full-time job. My husband made a little bit more above the line last year. This year he is making a lot more but there's no tax form yet. But we got the employment letter and his pay stubs. As a household of 2, me as the beneficiary, shall we include my tax return as well? (We got married last year and filed separately last year). Thank you!

during application of the i485, which i94 do we fill out??? the one issued to you upon entry which has currently expired or the one issued to you with the asylum grant??? please respond

Hi, Kseniya, I am in a predicament and live with 2 family members, I know I make just enough to sponsor my wife, but as of right now I am filling out my I-130 and if it gets approved, which I want it to, what next? the only reason I am living with family members is because I am saving a ton of money by doing this, and they are elderly and need help. And also when me and my wife we have a place of our own, I will have double the amount saved up for our own home. I am just trying to be financially smart, but also helping out my family by living with them, they are not dependent on me, so I am just curious how would the government would go about this situation? I am planning to move to my new places prior to my wife getting into the states anyways but I realize this process could take 1 year to 2 years. I should also mention these family members are not cosponsers, I just live there for the next year before my wife comes here to the us. any tips or advice is appreciated ! Thank you

Your videos are invaluable! Thank you. I am the only joint sponsor on my bf case. We just received an RFE due to insuffiecient income. Would an amendment on my taxes be sufficient if it reflects more than the required amount? Or will I need to sumit other supporting documents?

Hi Kseniya hoping that you can answer my question. So i'am planning to petition my wife and 2 kids. I'am worried about my annual income. Because right now i'm living with my mom and stepfather. My plan is to file the i130 even im still here living with them and then move to a apartment after 1 or 2 years before they process my application and just change the address so that the household number is lower compare to the household number right now.

I am currently a college student and I need a joint sponsor. The sponsor that I have available made way over the minimum requirement 2022 and will make enough this year, however they did not make enough 2021 or 2022. They are an independent contractor (uber driver) but have all of their 1099s and tax returns etc. Are they able to be my sponsor or will I have to look for someone else?

Hi, I'm in the same situation. Did you figure this out?

What if the immigrant has worked in the US for 5 years? Can their income be used if the sponsor doesn’t make enough money. My husband makes more than enough for our household of 2 but I’m the one sponsoring him. And we don’t want to use a co-sponsor.

My visa category is IR-1. Regarding the affidavit of support, my wife's income was $48,XXX for 2022 and $68,XXX for 2023. She lives in Illinois, and our household includes three family members, plus my wife and me, making a total of five members. Considering these details, does she need to add a joint sponsor, or is her income sufficient according to the guidelines? Can you please help guide me on this matter?

My petitioner, who is mi wife, is under de line of the poverty, so her brother in law is going to help her as a co-sponsor. The thing is they live in the same house, but they pay taxes separately and no one is dependent of the other. Is her brother-in-law must be counted as a household member or as a joint sponsor? If he is a household member, what relation proof can be shown? Something that shows her relation with her sister and,in the same way, some document to demonstrates the marriage between her sister and her brtoher-in-law?
