Ok everyone--this may be a weird question, but I already posted this on another thread that wasn't related and I'm freaking out about something. I guess I didn't realize I wasn't the petitioner anymore--I thought the USC was still referred to as the petitioner and the foreigner was referred to as the beneficiary. But for AOS, the petitioner is actually the foreigner. So in form I864, I checked the box that said I was the petitioner sponsor and that I was petitioning for my relative. I also referred to myself as the petitioner on my cover letter and checked the box about military status for petitioner sponsors only...will this lead to an RFE? So confused--please help!

EDIT--it looks like I'll be ok according to another poster. Phew! Crisis averted.

Awesome!! You just gave us hope, even tough my case hasn't even been touched yet.

Did you get any updates on the USCIS website?

What visa did you adjust from?

Good luck !!

You should be fine, the petitioner is the USC in the I-864 (from my understanding of the form).

Wow! What are they doing?

The amount of people getting RFE's for incorrect items is mind boggling. I feel like they suddenly have some sort of RFE quota to meet and are dishing them out all over the place. So weird. Hopefully this is just a tiny bump and your application moves along quickly after this.

Also (and this I am addressing to everyone) mine hasn't been touched since the 18th of Feb (my NOA date). Is that normal?

K1, EAD/AP + AOS + ROC = 0 RFE's

That's like the 3rd RFE I've seen for income requirements and most say their salaries exceed the limit by far...now I'm scared. You'll be fine. Just send ASAP. Good luck.

I've noticed so many RFE's for I-864 too. I don't understand if you follow the instructions and make enough money there shouldn't be a problem.

The birth certificate is an easy fix, so I know you'll be fine.

Best of luck to you!
