What was the reason for denial?

It is possible a competant immigration attorney is needed.

So the did not accept the I-864... The response sounds harsh... Are you sure there was not a missed RFE that was not responded to?

Maybe make an INFOPASS appointment pronto to discuss too..

Are you sure the RFE reply was recieved for processing by the USCIS?

Was there any doubt in the information you provided in the response that the joint sponsor was not a USC? How did you prove they were a USC?

I-864 states that you have to provide proof of US Citizenship or LPR status of a joint sponsor. Now that the case has been denied I am not sure if an infopass would do any good. Your immigration lawyer will be able to advise on your options.

just being curious...if a denial case like this, would they just have to fill out and submit the documents again without paying the same AOS amount?

Nope... You pay an application fee... an apparent decision was made on the application... If you submit a new application, then a new fee is required...

To prove that the co sponsor is US citizen you have to submit his birth certificate or copy of his passport page.

According to the instructions on the I-864 the sponsor or co-sponsor can be either a US citizen or permanent resident.

A joint sponsor can be any U.S. citizen, U.S. national, orlawful permanent resident who is at least 18 years old,domiciled in the United States, or its territories or possessions,and willing to be held jointly liable with the petitioner for thesupport of the intending immigrant. A joint sponsor does nothave to be related to the petitioning sponsor or the intendingimmigrant.

What was your RFE for, if not for proof that the joint sponsor was indeed a US citizen? If your RFE was for something other than the reason for your denial (failure to prove citizenship of co-sponsor) may I ask, did you include any evidence as to the identity of the person who was your co-sponsor?

Proof of U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident status isrequired for joint and substitute sponsors and for relatives ofemployment-based immigrants who file this form.

Why would you assume that the government would know your sponsor is a citizen?
