RFE AOS form I-485

[Toddandcamilla 34]

Hi Guys. Wondering if anyone can clear this for me. We just received an RFE for " Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, was not signed by petitioner/sponsor.

My question is, how do we respond to the RFE? We thought that Part 8 of the Affidavit of support was if we had a sponsor. We dont, so thats why my Husband didnt sign it of course. Are we supposed to sign it eventhough we DONT have a sponsor and therefor didnt fill out those pages? im confused.

In the RFE it says :" The petitioner/sponsor must sign and return the enclosed page of Form I-864.

So they sent a copy of that page. So my question is: do we just sign that page and thats it?? Should we send in the entire case with tax and paystubs etc again or am i just being overly nervous about ###### this RFE up.. I dont want any more delays if I can do it right this time of course.

I might have confused myself more than i should and its all super easy, i have just learned its better to ask then to think im doing it right, again since that didnt work out hehe :-) Thanks Guys! Camilla

The petitioner IS a sponsor. Any time someone fills out an I-864 form, that person is a sponsor.

The USC petitioner is the primary sponsor. They have to provide an I-864 even if they have a joint sponsor. Not sure why your husband would provide an I-864 and not sign it.

From the instructions>

NOTE: Even if one or more Form I-864s are submitted for an intending immigrant, the petitioning sponsor remains
legally accountable for the financial support of the sponsored immigrant along with the joint sponsors. The petitioning
sponsor must complete and submit a signed Form I-864 for the intending immigrant even if a joint sponsor will be
used. The petitioning sponsor must also provide his or her Federal income tax return for the most recent tax year with
supporting tax documents unless otherwise not required to file a Federal income tax return for the most recent tax year.

Thanks guys. I guess my head was being silly. I thought it was a completely different thing they needed us to sign and wasnt reading it closly. The rfe has been sent back with a signature on the form and hoping it wont take months from now on. thanks for clearifying :-) i just needed to male sure i was reading the rfe right. As always you guys are helpful so thanks :-) Have a great day!
