RFE..... why???

[topharry123 0]

Hi today we received an RFE for I-864, affadavit of support. It says it is invalid as it is not filed out by the sponsor.

My wife i assme is the sponsor so we put her on the I-864, yet her dad is supporting us both so he filled in the I-864A in conjunction with the I-864. Why have we received an RFE for this? Should my wife not fill in the 864 and should her dad do it? Then would we need my wife to fill in the 864A ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your wife is the sponser...she must submit an 864. If she cant meet the requirements than another 864 is required from the person who will be the co-sponser.

Does her dad live in the same residence with her?

[topharry123 0]

yes we are all in the same residence.

[diadromous mermaid 36]

yes we are all in the same residence.

No, so she should have filled in the I-864 since she is the primary sponsor, but since she is also not qualified to meet the requirements, she needs another individual to make up the shortfall. Since her dad is living in the same residence, she could combine his income with hers, on the I-864. Her dad, since he is controbuting his income to help her meet the needs, would fill in an I-864A, Contract Between Household Members. Is that what was submitted?

yes that is what we submitted. On her I864 we put inthe small amount she had made which totals about $5000 a year, then on her dads we put in the full amount which is more than enough to meet the poverty line, and the RFE was only for the 864 not the 864A. Our theories involve that would it matter if we put her married name on the form, and it is different to what they have on their computer, or did we tick the wrong box at the top, and would that be enough for an RFE? I think we ticked the first of two joint sponsors but maybe we should have picked the top box??

Her I-864 should have combined her income and her household member's contribution, if memory serves me correctly.

What does the RFE ask you to do?

[tom_g 3]

I'm in almost the same position. My wife doesn't earn much, so her mum offered to be co-sponsor. I filled out one 864 for my wife, then another 864 for her mum. All of us live in the same house at the moment. I chose not to go for the household member contract direction because my wife and I will be moving out before the AOS interview.

I haven't received an RFE, but there's plenty of time yet

My advice, (such that its worth anything cos I ain't a lawyer), would be for your wife and her co-sponsor to both fill out 864s again, attach the last years tax returns and w2s, and send it all in again.

The petitioner (your wife) must to fill out an I-864 too, aside your co-sponsor fill out another I-864. Each one, must attach the correct information (w2, income tax, employment letter). Our RFE was for the I-864 from the petitioner, we didn't file an I-864 of my husband when we sent the AOS... Now we answered our RFE with both I-864s one from co-sponsor and one for petitioner, both of these were updated with 2007 income tax.

I think if you don't have the clear idea about what to do, you can call to USCIS maybe they can help you or give you an idea.

Good luck.

hi thanks for your replies.

The RFE say in these exact words:

Form I-864 Affadavit of support was submitted, however it was not from the petitioner/sponsor.

Then it just requests we send one in for the sponsor listed on I-129F.

We submitted a form from my sponsor (wife) with the box first of two sponsors ticked. We put on her form her married name. With this we attatched an I-864A from her father who is the co-sponsor and all income requirements and all asked for tax information.

Any more advice based on this post?

Thanks to everyone! At the moment what we will do is just re-send the I-864 for my wife with the box ticked saying she is the petitioner.

Yes, if you'd mentioned that in the beginning, it would have been clear. She didn't check box "a" on the original submission and she should have. Even though her father is supplying an I-864A (as a household member) she is the petitioner and not a "joint-sponsor".

Submit a new I-864, with box "a" checked, and have her include her father's income in the household. She signs the form, he signs his I-864A.
