Hey, hoping to have my case complete this week, and I get an email of a checklist for my i-864a. Why? Because of it being "incomplete." I had made a photocopy of the form and noticed I had left Part I. Information on the Household Member question #3, Place of Residence, blank. I left it blank because in parentheses it says "if different from mailing address."

#1 In parentheses it says if different from mailing address. So, if it is the same, why write it again or even fill it in?

#2 It would be weird if I put "Not Applicable" for Place of Residence.

#3 For the i-864a instructions NOWHERE says to put N/A.

I called the NVC and the guy's like "yeah, it's probably that, with the new form they are getting stricter, and that's the only thing missing."

This is so frustrating sad.png It upsets me so much because I was just waiting for that case complete... sad.png

Thoughts? I can't fight this can I? I guess I have to send this dumb form once again. It sucks because for my i-130 I also got an RFE for a paper I did send and they said I hadn't. So over their whole way of doing this immigration system. cray5ol.gif

You never leave anything blank. You write "NONE" or "N/A" or for the mailing address if different I wrote "SAME AS ABOVE" becuase the brain dead person looking at your application does not know if it is the same or not unless you tell them. IMHO, during this whole immigration process you need to pick your battles or you will be fighting all the time and expending a lot of energy for nothing. Redo the form and send it in and just mutter under your breath for now.

Good luck,

Dave
