Understand I-485 RFE

[iamchirag]

Hi,

I have filed I-485 under EB2 category in January 2018. I have received EAD/AP just last week and now I have received RFIE for my I-485. If you can help me understand what does it mean and what all documents I would need to submit in response to this RFE.  Not sure who are they talking about owning 5% of more interest in employing company. Am I owning or my employer? Are they asking my employer to submit I-864 or myself?

RFE wordings are as follows:

Based on the evidence submitted, an owner of the petitioning employer is related to I-140 beneficiary and owns 5% of more interest in the employing company. Submit a completed and signed form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for appropriate parties. Also, provide copies of the petitioner/sponsor’s most recent Federal income tax returns and all supporting tax documents (W-2, 1099, form 2555, and tax schedules). If you have submitted Form I-864, the version you submitted is no longer accepted. You must submit Form I-864 with revision date of 03/06/2018.

Thanks,

Chirag

Did you reach out to your lawyer?. What was their response?

Are you in any way linked to or have shares of your own company? Why is this matter coming up about owning 5%? Did you or employer enter this % anywhere in your application? Do/Did you own any other company with same/similar product/service in the past?
