RFE question - Resubmit how much?

[lustanovska 0]

So I got an RFE. Two silly things.

1. I didn't send a copy of my passport proving my American citizenship since I figured they already had it from my I-130. So now I have to redo the I864 and also send the copy of my passport, BUT (this is the question part), I don't have to send in all those papers again like my taxes and evidence of my domicile, etc etc. I only have to resend the I-864 and my missing passport copy, right?

2. My mom is a joint sponsor, but we don't live in my same household, so she filled out another I-864, not the I-864A, but now they are requesting I-864, so I guess we do that with original signature in blue or black ink. The last was original in black. I'm not sure how to get them to believe it. Any suggestions on that? Hers was even on American size paper and mine on European because she mailed it to me from America and then I mailed it to the NVC from Slovakia with my packet.

But, praise God, these things really aren't so big or bad at all! Nothing actually about money! Yeah!

PS Again with my mom. We don't have to resend her taxes or assets or anything like that if they didn't ask for them, right?

Actually, do I really need to redo the I-864? The directions say: Please pay specific attention to the questions marked in the attached I-864/A checklist. You will need to complete and submit a new form with the changes noted on the attached checklist. BUT they didn't check 'missing or incomplete forms' OR [ ] ___________________________________ (sponsor/joint sponsor) must complete and submit an I-864. Only Supporting Documents missing or incomplete

[x] You as a joint sponsor have not provided proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status.

That's the only thing. So do I need to redo the I864 or just send that one sheet of paper (along with the letter they sent me)?

You should do exactly what they ask you to do. If they ask you to do a new I-864 then you should do another form and include your passport information with it. The same goes for your co-sponsor, do what they ask you to do, if it is filling out a new form then fill out a new form.

Good luck.

With my i-864 documents[petitioner] i didnt send them any proof of american citizenship [passport copy or naturalization copy]

I dont remember reading that it was requirement to sent it. Weird - that they give you a RFE for that.

My case got completed with out any issues.

Anyways when I-130 got filed, citizenship docs were sent USCIS at that time.

Do exactly what they say (send a new I864 and a copy of your passport) along with the papers that they sent you. I just submitted my RFE yesterday and my father had to fill out an I864A not the I864 which I submitted with the packet. Best of luck

I didn't send a copy of my passport with my I864-maybe it is for people who later became citizens or who have a green card

I hear what you are saying. It is not always straight forward determining what they really want.

They may well only want the extra documents, they may not want an entirely new I-864. Unless you scan and post the RFE though, it's very difficult to determine.

what trailmix said but by what you posted, it looks like they want proof of your joint sponsor's citizenship
