what to do if you forget to include a document?

[una 0]

If you sent out a document but forget to include something in one of the forms you already sent out what do you do?...

Like in my case I forgot to include my birth certificates and proof of residency... so my question is can you sent out another envelope that will include the documents that you forgot to include right after you sent the first envelope? Will it be ok with them to get 2 envelopes from me cuz I don't want to get a RFE.... and if I do that probably I won't get the RFE

Anybody who knows plz ?

Normally, the answer is wait for an RFE.

However, there is a person here right now who has actually did this, then sent in the missing document before the RFE was issued. That person is trailmix, and right now the review of her submission from October 4th appears to be approaching overdue. Hopefully, however, we'll know soon for sure based on how her case is resolved if sending the missing document before the RFE will resolve the matter or not.

I would definitely wait for an RFE. An RFE takes a few days to get to you and as soon as you send them what they're requesting, they get back to work on your case.

thats sucks ... well I don't get it why should u sent the driver's license for the proof of residence when the home address appears on the last check you copied, and that's current that would be stupid if they're not satisfied with it.... and for the birth certificates to prove that i'm related to my parents it's also stated in their form 1040 that i'm their daughter unless they don't pay attention to that...

This I-864A, right? There actually are three facts to prove:

1. U.S. Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Residence of the household member (passport, birth certificate, permanent resident card)
2. Residence address of the household member (driver's license, utility bill, etc).
3. Relationship of household member to sponsor (sponsor's birth certificate usually)

yes it is form I-184A that's right....well I didn't sent passport or birth certificate but i sent Certificate of Naturalization will it be ok?

I also did not sent driver's license or utility bill for the residence address cuz it shows in my parent's last( the most current) check... so do you think they will not count them as value proof?

And also for the relationship as i stated before I didn't sent birth certificates cuz on the form 1040 it says I (...name) am their daughter... So what do u think i'm gonna get a RFE pretty much

Naturalization certificate is fine...

However, I don't think that the tax documents are proof of residence or relationship. At best, they are proof of a mailing address in the past, and proof that you are claimed as a dependent.

I included two of those three, but I forgot the sponsor also had to sign I-864A so I got an RFE just for that (actually, that's a big deal). When answering, the I-864 RFE, I included the missing third document (even though they didn't ask for it) with the properly signed I-864A, and since then I got case complete.

Would they have given me another RFE? They could have.

What should you do? Wait for RFE, and if you do get, send them everything they should have.
