So I'm the spouse - husband is studying for naturalization.  I don't know how I didn't know about the I-865 as his sponsor.  I feel like an idiot.  Since we've been married we moved 2x - one of those times bought a house...etc.  Never filled out an 865.  I'm assuming I should just fill it out now.  Any repercussions for forgetting?  I feel like i'm going to be sick.

Just go ahead and mail it now.  I have not seen a single case where a sponsor had an issue.  You are neither the first nor the last to submit a late I-865.

Good thing we never moved, lol!  I didn't even know the I-865 was a thing.  AR-11, sure but not the I-865.

Thank you, I am a maniac this week - I got all stressed out just now because I almost filled out the form incorrectly (effective date of change of address - I am so tired I almost put today but thankfully I always download and read the accompanying instructions) - Then I freaked myself out wondering if we put the wrong date when my husband filled out his AR-11 but I just checked the actual form and they don't have an effective date so there is no way we filled that one out incorrectly.  There aren't even instructions and its basically impossible to mess up . 

Just a rough rough week, I obviously want to make sure things are going smoothly with naturalization.
