When we submitted AOS for K1, I (petitioner) was a recently graduated student with no income. Our only I-865 was from my mom.
Today we received an RFE requesting two things:
1. proof of citizenship for my mom to go along with her I-865
2. an I-865 from the petitioner (me), because "Even if a joint sponsor will be used, the petitioning sponsor MUST submit Form I-864"
Wanted to make this post to maybe help someone else avoid this mistake.
I also would like to confirm that we only need to follow the instructions of uploading 1. copy of RFE, 2. birth certificate for my mom and 3. I-864 for me with all relevant documents (eg, tax returns, pay stubs, etc). We don't need to re-upload everything we originally submitted, only the requested documents in the RFE?
