Q: I received a letter from USCIS with request for more evidence for petitioning sponsor (my husband- marriage green card).
He has no income so that was what we put on the form I-864. I included copies of our joint taxes that show income from my babysitting jobs (self-employed) only. There in no income for him. My mother in law is the joint sponsor, and all the evidence for her income was submitted. Now the letter from USCIS says that my husband “lists their current income on Form I-864 as an amount to be considered as sufficient; however, no evidence has been submitted as proof of current income”. I’m confused, form I-864 shows income = 0. How do I proceed ?
A: I suggest you work with an immigration attorney to take a look at the RFE so that it can be responded to appropriately
A: Have an immigration attorney review the RFE to determine exactly what USCIS needs.
A: I'm sorry to hear about the confusion in your case. It seems like there might have been a misunderstanding given that your husband reported zero income. To respond to the USCIS request for evidence, it would be prudent to reiterate that your husband currently has no income, and therefore cannot provide proof of current income. You might consider providing a statement from him affirming that he has no income. Furthermore, ensure to emphasize the supporting documents showing your income and the joint sponsor's (your mother-in-law) sufficient income, substantiating that the financial requirements are met despite your husband's lack of income. It's advisable to clearly and concisely document everything to prevent any further confusion. It might also be beneficial to consult with an attorney who has experience in immigration law to help navigate this situation.
