I recently was surprised to receive a denial letter notice to a petition of I-485, (AOS) on behalf of my mother. The reason for denial as stated in the letter: “Evidence of assets that meet the federal poverty line or obtain a qualified joint sponsor”. I received an approval letter for the I-130.
We are 3 adults in our household. I’m a US citizen who sponsored my wife for a green card about a year ago. I have no other dependents except for my wife. According to the 2014 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support the 125% of HHS amount for a household of 3 is $24,737.00.
Based on the above required household income amount I provided USCIS evidence of my income and my assets as following:
1. My yearly income $14,504.46. (Copies of paystubs)
2. Investment statements in mutual funds with a balance of $6,560.00. (Full year worth of statements copies)
3. County assessor assessment for real estate owned (free and clear) that is valued $68,500.00 by the county assessor even though market value is higher. (Copy of 2014 assessment).
4. I also submitted one bank statement of my mother new U.S. checking account she opened recently with more than $10,000.00 balance. (Didn’t have 12 statements since it’s a new account).
My questions are:
I'm confused. according to our calculation we provided satisfactory evidence of assets to compensate for the low income. After receiving the denial letter I spoke with USCIS national customer service over the phone and the rep explained we can request the case to be reviewed for clerical error? Any hope taking this route?
Do you recommend to file I-290B as indicated in the denial letter?
If necessary, can my wife be joint sponsor (I-864A) and add her assets too (Title to the apartment we currently live in is under her name)?
My mother is an elderly woman and cannot leave the US her status is adjusted.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
