Sponsor forgot to Sign I-864A. Very Bad Mistake. What will I Do?

 Share

Hi Everyone,

I just made the worst mistake in my visa journey. :(

I just compiled my AOS for my Stepson and I realized that I, the sponsor only signed my I-864 and my wife signed I-864A but I didn't sign my part on the I-864A. :(

Am I screwed? What will I do? Pls help.

What I plan to do is send another I-864 and I-864A (I'll make sure I'll sign both) together with our cover sheet and write a letter explaining what happen. Do you guys think this is a good idea?

Facts:

I mailed the AOS Package today, March 17, 2014 and I plan to send another one tomorrow, March 18, 2014 but just the signed forms I-864 and I-864A because all my supporting documents are already in the first AOS package that I Sent.

Any advise would be great appreciated.

Thanks.

Btw...they don't consider your visa application complete until all of your documents (AOS/864 & civil) along with your fees and on line visa application are all together. note: you don't have to wait to finish your application on line to send your civil documents in. you can send them with your 864 documents, just make sure you have the cover sheet with the bar code they send you with the instruction emails.

Got it.. this is for my stepson, so you suggest that I request his picture already and have it sent to me? I don't have the DS-260 yet though. I can't pay for it yet as its not available yet.

I'm worried in getting pictures too soon as it have to be taken with in a certain period of time right? I already have a copy of his original birth certificate and a copy of his passport can easily be scanned and be emailed to me.. The only thing that takes time is his picture as it will have to be mailed here in US from Philippines.

Thanks for your suggestions and help.
