NVC Asking beneficiary for form I-864?

[BIDDLE1990 1]

Hi everyone,

 

Just received the dreaded email from the NVC stating that our documents have errors or are incomplete.

 

All the forms, before we submitted them were reviewed by an immigration lawyer who stated they were complete! The errors i understand, however it seems like they wanted me, a UK citizen and beneficiary, to fill out form I-864?

 

To my understanding, as the beneficiary, my income in the UK didn't matter. 

 

I have worked on a US summer camp in the past, don't know if that is where the confusion is?

 

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Kind regards

 

Tom

Can you post what the RFE letter says?

What does it say next to the X's?  Exactly.

The text in my above post is exactly as it is in the letter. 

The mistakes are;

my wife's father forgot to sign one of the forms, Signed in the wrong place

Missing contract between sponsor and household member missing?

 

Thank you for your help everyone. 

 

Kind regards 

Tom

hi

 

you didn't mention if your wife filed the i864 as sponsor

 

if your wife filed for you, she is the sponsor and the sponsor always files the i864. her dad would be the joint sponsor and file a separate i964

 

if she didn't file the i864, then that's the problem

 

you mentioned forms, what forms?

So Dad is joint sponsor and the problem seems to be his part.

1. He didn't sign his I-864  or signed on the wrong place
2. If he provided a joint tax return (filed with his wife), the tax return alone is not sufficient to show his separate income qualifies. A joint tax return lumps all income together so NVC does not know what is Dad's and what is his wife's income. His wife (household member) can fill out an I-864A (missing contract) so their joint income as shown on the tax return is pledged to the beneficiary.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the advice. My wife has been on the phone to the NVC, who then stated they had their information incorrect! The problem was just wife's dad signing in the wrong place! 

 

In the process now of correcting the mistake. 

 

Thanks all

It sounds like you are still missing an I-864a from the joint sponsor's wife.

If he provided other proof of his separate income (employer letter, pay stubs), then that should suffice without anything from his wife.
