Community - Case Processing

Hi Community,My wife and I are in the process of sponsoring my son to immigrate to the USA from Jamaica. We're both self-employed as delivery drivers, and here's our situation regarding the financial requirements for the I-864, Affidavit of Support:Our gross annual income comfortably exceeds the requirement for our household size of five, sitting at $84,828,for house of 5. However, after taking our business deductions into account, particularly the mileage deduction which is substantial for delivery drivers, our Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) on the most recent tax return is around $33,000, placing us below the financial threshold required by the affidavit.When completing the I-864 form:For Part 6, Line 7, should we report our current annual income based on our gross income since it's a better reflection of our financial capability? Is there a way to use the gross income as a projection for current annual income?For Part 6, Lines 24.a - 24.c, we understand it requires the "Total income" from our 1040 tax forms. This is our income before any deductions, correct?Given the discrepancy between our gross income and AGI, how should we navigate this to accurately reflect our financial capability to support my son's immigration? Does this situation disqualify us, or is there a method to explain or supplement our income details to meet the requirements?Additionally, if anyone has tips on providing supplementary documentation or explanations to USCIS to clarify our situation, it would be greatly appreciated. We understand our gross income meets the requirements, but we're concerned about how the deductions impact our AGI and, by extension, our I-864 form.Thank you for any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi guys, I hope you can guide me to a brighter understanding of my situation, Back on February 2023 when my visa category (f2a)was current on both charts my lawyer filled concurrently my I-360 I-485 I-131 I-765, so around April 24 USCIS rejected my package because it was filled to the wrong office(Vermont) so we needed to re file to Nebraska(now my category was not current), anyways USCIS set my priority date as February 16. On June 1st USCIS rejected my form I-485 for insufficient funds, this time I was really mad because this was the second time my lawyer messed up, I ask her what happened, she said that this was a USCIS mistake, I believed her and we submit again the package with the corresponding filling fees and a letter explaining USCIS that at funds were available at all times and they should honored my priority date, I am not sure if they did it or not, since in any of my notifications I can see my priority date. Several months passed, on November 11 my lawyer notified me that I had biometrics appointment on November 22nd for my I-485(code 3), I went to the ASC, everything went smooth and with no issues, couple days after the system updated to Fingerprints were applied to my I-131 and I-485; form I-360 and I-765 did not show any updates, it started to seem weird since we filled them concurrently and were supposed to be updated together (for what I knew at that time), so I asked my lawyer, she just said that it was matter of time until they update them, so I waited patiently until March 28th when I finally decide to attend to her office to collect all my notifications and found out that she did not notified me about other biometric appointment on November 30th. I feel really disappointed about her and hopeless, I already wrote a letter to the Vawa office explaining my situation, and the only concern I have is, Will they use my I-485 fingerprints for my form I-360, or will they just close my case? as today they did not close it yet. and finally Will they still adjudicate my I-131 and I-485? Or Will they just wait until my Vawa approval to finally adjudicate them? Thanks, #vawa #I-485 #I-131 #I-765 #adjusmentofstatus
