📋 EB-3 I-485 RFE - Financial Support via Savings Account - PD Unknown

📋 **Case Status: RFE Received** --- An I-485 applicant received an RFE one week after filing due to the sponsoring spouse's business showing a net loss in the prior tax year. The sponsor attempted to demonstrate financial support through 7 months of savings account statements rather than income. The applicant is now weighing whether to provide 12 months of statements or obtain a joint sponsor. An I-485 applicant filed for adjustment of status under the EB-3 category. The petitioning spouse (Form I-864 sponsor) experienced a business loss in the most recent tax year, resulting in insufficient income to meet the 125% federal poverty guideline threshold. To compensate, the sponsor submitted 7 months of savings account statements as evidence of assets. USCIS issued an RFE shortly after filing, indicating the financial support documentation was insufficient. The applicant is now considering two options: submitting a full 12 months of bank statements, or bringing on a joint sponsor who meets the income requirement independently. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1wz9zs0/i485_rfe_financial_support_by_savings_account/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
