    But the pdf instructions for form I-864 in section 11a which instructs you to provide proof of your USA citizenship says that if you have already provided proof of your status when filing form I-129F then there is no need to prove your status. Therefore, unless I am misinterpreting those instructions, I don’t think you or I overlooked it. It seems to me the mail room contractor just issues the RFE automatically without even checking if the above exclusion applies in order to save time.

    As far as I could see from the instructions, if you are adjusting status from a K-1 and hence are the sponsor of the I-864 then you do NOT need to prove you are a USA citizen, as you’d expect. My guess is that the contractors receiving and doing the initial basic checks need some additional training. I just uploaded a copy of my passport to the online account they created for me back in JanuaryZ We actually just got the approval too, so it took about 4.5 months.

    As the I-864 sponsor, did you include proof of being a USA citizen? That is what caused us to get an immediate RFE.

    True, good point. My marriage certificate showed my first name change already. Hence, SSA accepted that as a first name change. But I never technically never made a legal name change. The passport agency allowed me to swap my first and last name as shown on my BC as a well as the RMV. Only the SSA didn’t allow that until I showed them the marriage certificate which had less strict name change standards. Seems like a loop hole.

    Nope, I waa able to do it. First, the SSA allowed my Wife to change her middle and last name per the Philippines custom. Though, they didn’t seem to care what we chose for a name. I then asked them to swap my first and middle last name to match my passport, DL, etc… Previously they told me I needed a court ordered name change for this. But now they agreed to do it based on the marriage certificate which had my first name swapped just like my passport. I then received a new SSN card with my first name changed
