So I am told to do so (e.g. in March), I assume I will put the March date and signed it. Now with the Feb 24 deadline, I hope they won't ask me to use the new form for re-submission. Not sure if they will clarify it at the time of RFE.

You could always sign and date it in ink now and upload it under "additional documents" with a comment saying it is a fixed version of the I864, that way you can avoid getting rejected and avoid having to use the new form in case they require it with AOS after Feb 24

Should I mention where the correction made in the fixed version? And also, dated with today's date or date back to match the original date signed?

I would do today’s date, and yes I would also mention what the correction was just to be on the safe side just so that it’s clear

It let me typed the signature date and I did. I did not know we have to write the date as well....Have we had any rejection due to this issue? It makes me worry now...

Yes people have had to reupload and wait again for docs to be reviewed

Since I am going to redo it, do I need to fill in NA (it does not take '/')or NONE for every single box that are not applicable for me?

No, we didn't and ours was accepted, only put Not applicable or None in spaces where it makes sense you don't need to put it in every single space, many times you can just leave a spot blank (like if there is no other relatives immigrating you can just leave all those blank)

Why did you call them? I emailed Sydney IV last week and they emailed back that they received my expedite case and will send the result to NVC to forward to me. Try emailing them perhaps???

Hey @Clayera just wondering if you’ve heard an outcome back from Sydney yet? 

 

I called to nudge them, seems it worked I got an email, 4 hours later saying they’d received it and to wait on NVC response

Got a reply on 17 Feb saying to wait for NVC response. Still nothing from NVC all week.

My question is must one get the CDC additional vaccines?

Yes, but for the second group of vaccines you need to review age requirements too. Some may not be required

Omg that is soooo stupid, for a lack of a better word. Literally they ask you in the AOS to cross wheter you are employed, unemployed, retired, etc.... so that is their missing document right there! you crossing that you are unemployed  and signing the form at the end!!

 

I submitted everything 20 days ago, my husband (USC) is unemployed because he just moved back to the US after living abroad with me. We didn't submitt a letter where he states he is unemployed, we just got his dad as a joint sponsor so the financial requirements were covered. There is nowhere that states cover letters to explain things are needed, how were we supposed to know that? I didnt know Visa Journey existed until after having already submitted, so I hadn't read all the useful information you guys have been sharing. I am so frustrated with this whole process, I just got of the phone with them after 2 hours trying to get through and 1.5 hours on hold, about an issue regarding change of interview location and they were extremely unhelpful. Now probably an RFE coming my way or either loosing the 3 weeks that already went by. 

 

Sorry for venting, sometimes is much needed

Yes that was ours thoughts too, it didn’t make sense that we would need it since I already said I was unemployed on the I864, but I had called them twice after getting the request for the document, to get second opinions, and both times they said there was no choice but for me to upload it and wait again. Honestly, it’s better to lose 3 weeks than 9, i would upload it right now if I were you just to be safe. We also didn’t see anything on any of the travel.state websites saying that we needed that letter, otherwise I would have uploaded it the first time, but NVC told us there was no choice and that we couldn’t move on without submitting it..  

We have same situation and got same RFE submitted everything second time 12/28 and still waiting just because of the letter of unemployment. It's ridiculous it takes that long and it's not mentioned anywhere. People at the call canter are so random, sometimes you get extremely annoyed person which can't wait to hang up on your, and once in a while you get a sweet person which helps you.

How many days it takes to change payment status from In process to Paid?

 

I paid my fees on last Saturday for both only AOS status changed to Paid.

Same here. I paid both the fess on Saturday 2 /15 and CEAC is still showing status as Inprocess for IV Fees.
