Mistake In I-864 regarding Domicile Question

[Shabaz 67]

Hi Guys, I am sponsoring my parents in their IR5 visa, While filling I-864 I made a mistake, instead of putting country of Domicile as USA, I put my home country Pakistan as country of domicile, reason behind I was thinking domicile meaning is country of birth. I have already sent the forms, Let me know what should I do now?

 

Thanks

They’ll probably send you RFE. Nothing to do but wait.

Where did you send it?   If you sent it to NVC (the correct place), I would upload a corrected I-864.

Hi, I am still waiting for the forms to be accepted, Usually its taking 3 months these days. 

I uploaded new forms 2 & half months before and in notes I explained the situation too.

You can redo the Form and upload it under additional documents. When you do that most times they go by your first date you submitted. I don’t that. Uploaded in Sept, and added additional files in Nov & Dec, and they went by my September date

hi same situation here. 
 

How did you upload the corrected version? After pressing submit the i864 under Required Documents is locked. Can’t be edited or deleted or reuploaded. 
 

Did you submit a 2nd i864 under Additional Documents, and that was accepted?

Yes, I uploaded a new I-864 in additional documents & named it (Updated I-864) & also put a not with it explaining the error.

Thank you!

 

In case others read this, I followed Loading's advice

 

- Re-did mine (main sponsor) I864 with ink signature, joint sponsor I864 & household I864a (needed black ink instead of blue and I added N/A in ALL empty fields).

- I resubmitted these under their appropriate titles in Additional Documents on Oct 29th

- Was DQ'd just 5 days later on Nov 4th

 

Now waiting for interview to be scheduled.

Hello,

Did you write N/A in place of physical address if it's same as mailing address or just left it blank?

Neither. I actually checked "same as physical address" then rewrote the exact thing in the Mailing Address. 

 

I would think that checking the box + writing N/A is sufficient but all I know is what I did worked

Curious if you did this without speaking to NVC or not? I uploaded the wrong certificate but NVC accepted it. I want to re-upload the correct once but don't want to mess around with my application without being prompted.
