Quick heads up to those filing for AOS (regarding Form I-864)

[Gloom 1]

Hi,

My husband (US citizen) and I mailed our AOS (coming from a K1) packet on February 8th, and got our NOA on February 10th. A week later, February 18th, we got an RFE regarding Form I-864 for lack of evidence for my husband's status as a US citizen.

 

The instructions for Form I-864 mention, on page 6:

Quote

Item Numbers 11.a. - 11.c. Citizenship or Residency.

You must provide proof that you are a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident for joint and substitute sponsors and for relatives of employment-based immigrants who file Form I-864. Petitioning relatives who have already filed proof of their citizenship or immigration status with Form I-129F, Form I-130, Form I-600, or Form I-600A do not need to submit proof of their status with this affidavit.

 

If you or your US citizen spouse have submitted any of the forms mentioned above and you're filing for AOS, submit as much evidence as you can despite the instructions telling you certain items won't be necessary.

But if you are the US citizen all you have to submit is the long form of the birth certificate nothing more. Or naturalization paperwork. Not send in a ton of info. I got same rfe not sending in my birth certificate.  Luckily I always keep the long for birth certificate. Sent next day and was received that day.
