CONFUSED: RFE says I-864 was not from petitioner/sponsor

[Joanne n Thanh 0]

I am applying for AOS after entering USA on a K-1 Visa on 09/30/2012. Married on 10/20/2012. My husband is my petitioner however he had very little income the past years so his Mom & Step-Dad have been claiming him as a dependent on their Income Taxes. When I did my k-1, the step-dad was my sole sponsor for the Affidavit of Support & that was accepted.

Now for my AOS, I got step-dad to sign I-864 Affidavit of Support and received an RFE "Form I-864 Affidavit of Support was submitted; however it was not from the petitioner/sponsor"!

What should I do?

Urgh - I realized my mistake. My husband still needs to sign the I-864 for the AOS even if we use a sponsor. Ding-it for not reading the instructions carefully!

what Does AOS and RFE stand for ?

The petitioner is Your hubby and you are the Beneficiary is You and the sponsor the step-dad

I-864 Affidavit of Suppor It's basically your step-dad is telling the government that if you can't support yourself he will. That you won't seek government assistance in the event you can't find a job.

I was the same way My income did not meet so i dont qualified, My sister is my hubby sponsor

You should be Fine if they accepted the Affidavit of Suppor

Yes, regardless of using a sponsor. The petitioner and co-sponsor have to complete the paperwork.

Request for Evidence

Your sister cannot be your husband's sole sponsor, she can be the joint sponsor, as you are the petitioner. Although you do not have enough income, both you and your sister have to complete the required paperwork for the I-864.
