I-864 section 8 & 9 question

[Helmut & Bee 0]

VJ,

I am sponsoring my stepdaughters (two), and submitted all the forms, and just had one of the I-864's rejected with the comment that the number of immigrants was wrong.

I submitted two 864's. One for each daughter. In Part 2, I listed one daughter, and in Part 3, I listed the sister, with a total count of two immigrants. I also checked the Yes box in Part 3 / 8.

The 864 for the first daughter was accepted, but the 864 for the second daughter was rejected with the comments that the count on line 10 does not equal the number of immigrants of Part 2 & 3. (I counted both daughters, and put 2).

So.... Were both forms wrong, and they only caught one? Do I only list one daughter per form, and not list the sister in part 3?

Also, do I check the YES box in Part 3/8?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Yes both forms were wrong and they only caught one.

You mention that in Part 3 you listed the Sister - that is incorrect - it states: Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition. The Sister is obviously listed on a separate petition and should not be included in part 3.

Yes you mark yes in 3/8 - but I think you mean 3/9 - if so, the answer is No, don't mark that box.

The number to enter for item 10 is one.
