Possible issue with our Affidavit of Support

[minha_raposa 0]

Good evening everyone,

We filed for AOS back in July and after mailing it off I noticed that I forget to sign and have the affidavit notorized. I called the mis-information line to ask what I should do and they said not to worry that I would be able to do a new one at the interview. Well, this really concerns me after reading some of the other post on this site...specifically the couple who add their AOS denied because of a doctors screw up!

My question is does anyone think our AOS will be denied before we ever get an interview? Any sugestions as to what I should do?

They are now processing our date range and I'm beginning to sweat. This is terrrible because I could have submitted the document almost immediately but there seems to be no provision for doing this in the current system.

Thanks to all for your help!

Hi can you post your timelines? So we could determine what's your status. Usually you will get RFE and you just have to follow what they want for you to send back but if they didn't most likely you will have to bring it on the interview. I hope this will work out for you.

OK...I posted it. Took me a few to figure this out though. Thanks for your help.

I think the issues we've seen were related to medical, when RFE was misunderstood. If USCIS sends an RFE, then you need to act. Otherwise, I'd just bring a new affidavit to the inteview.

Anyone has other opinions?

I think they'd send you an RFE if they wanted the I-864, before they actually denied you. So when and if they do that, then just send it in.

I will say though that I was not aware I myself as the petitioner had to fill out an I-864 despite the fact that I didn't have any money and my aunt was going to be the only sponsor. They never gave me an RFE for that.

But when I got to the interview, completely unaware that I was missing a form, they told me then that they needed an Affidavit of Support from me and asked if I had it with me. So at least that lets us know you have a chance to give them extra forms at the interview if they were not in your initial packet.

In my case, I obviously didn't have the form on me. So they actually handed me the form at the interview and let me fill it out there and the officer acted as my notary, and we were approved that day.

So basically, I wouldn't worry. Wait to see if you get an RFE. If you don't, just bring along the form to your interview. And remember that the petitioner must have one, as well as anyone else who may be sponsoring you or your spouse.

Good luck!

If you haven't got an RFE - Don't worry about it. The interviewing officer yesterday changed a couple things on my wife's I485 and had her sign it again (he changed the A # - we had the wrong one and something else that I can't remember now.) So, I asume they can do the same with the I864 at the same time. Good Luck

Thanks for your help everyone...I feel a little more relaxed and will just plan on taking a new one to the interview.

Yes, I agree with you guys. You dont have to worried as long as they still not send RFE to you. By the way, make the complete I864 and bring along with you on interviews. Good Luck ...

Minha Raposa - now we are in a new tax year anyway, so you will be able to do a new up to date affidavit for the interview.
