The 1 is supposed to autopopulate.  It's YOU.  Only use Adobe Software, Acrobat or Adobe Reader, to complete the form and it will function properly.

It has been a few months but this is the most recent threat on the PDF issues when filling out I-864. I am using official Adobe Acrobat Reader downloaded directly from the USCIS website and following the instructions to the letter and I am getting the same errors. I also tried a third party software (PDF Reader Pro Lite) to discard problems with Adobe's version. I have a Mac Air M1 running Ventura (OS 13.4.1) with the latest upgrades so my hardware is not the issue. 

 

Part 5. Sponsor's Household Size. The first question: Persons you are sponsoring on this affidavit; Provide the number you entered in Part 3, 29.  Error- unable to select and write anything in the box.

 

Last question (8). Add together Part 5, 1-7, and enter number here: Unable to select box and fill in.

 

I have one extra dependent and when I filled in the box in question 4, the total in block 8 did not change automatically as some have said it would/should.

 

I am only trying this form to get familiarized with the ecosystem and all the possible forms we may need in the future (wargaming) and not necessarily reflecting what we'll pursuit. I also had a bit of a problem with the I-130A.

 

What Gives?

Had you already completed Part 3?  If not, do that first.

That is not an error.  Complete the earlier numbers and that one will populate automatically.

Hard to say try my suggestions first, and if that doesn't work, try it on a PC instead.

 

What's the problem with the I-130a?

 

Basic concept here is fill the field out in their proper order, and don't try to enter data in fields that are intended to populate automatically.

Thanks for your reply. I did filled out the form in order. I will delete and start fresh on new form anyway. Thanks!
