We got what I guess is an RFE today. It's just a yellow sheet of paper stating that they are unable to continue until the following is corrected and we have 87 days to mail back to them.

It was that they needed proof that the joint sponsor is a US citizen. Funny since my dad is a long time Federal employee and the supporting evidence he sent should be proof enough since it could be easily verified, but it's ok, it's my fault in the end.

It says a birth certificate, but will a notarized copy be ok?

Also our Biometric appointment is Oct. 8th, and hopefully we'll get the EAD a month after if this doesn't slow that down. At least they're looking at our case.

Honestly, a regular copy should work unless they specifically requested otherwise.

You need to send documents that he is a US citizen. A photocopy of his US passport or US birth certificate. It does not need to be notarized or be a certified copy. A regular photocopy is fine.

Out of curiosity, what was the proof that you sent it that was deemed insufficient?

It states in the I-864 instructions that a joint sponsor must provide proof of being a USC or LPR and what is accepted as proof. It is on Page 4 of the I-864 instructions, #5. Citizenship/Residency. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

thanks for the help everyone...

Should this slow things down or not you think? We have the biometric Oct 8th so I'm guessing they'll receive my dad's birth certificate the same day we do that. I dunno...Hopefully we'll get her AP by the end of November that's all we care about short term

Not from personal experience but from what I've read around here it should only be a small delay. The time it took you to respond to the RFE and a few more days for its processing, that's it.

Good luck.
