I-864 form

[Ctavarez90 244]

Hello everyone!

My joint sponsor made an error only on the first form and misspelled my husbands name by leaving off one letter. The rest of the i-864 form is correct. Can he just redo the first page and i upload it with a note that states we fixed the error with the spelling of my husbands name or do we have to resubmit the whole I-864 form again?

 

p.s. I submitted all my documents first submission on Aug 23 so they have not been reviewed by NVC yet. I just so happened to catch this myself

Hello there,

Disclaimer: I myself have never been in that situation, so I will defer this one to @FamilyBut I would think that it will be fine if you submit just the first page (or the page with the error), with a short note that says that you're submitting it because there was a typo on the beneficiary's last name. I don't think it's a biggie

Okay thanks. Because literally everything else on the whole I-864 form is correct (financial wise and everything else) except for the fact the he forgot one letter of my husbands first name. I just don’t want to wait to see if they will accept it or not and then risk being at the end of the queue again

And also, you don't want to send them the same information again because it might confuse them.

Then it should be easy to send them an accurate, complete form.  Personally, I would always send the complete, updated form.

Okay sounds good. I will send them the complete form. I will just add a note stating we corrected the first page because of a typo

Does my joint sponsor need to resign and redate the form or just update the first page and merge it with the rest of the i-864 and I upload the whole complete I-864?

[Verrou 1,901]

yes, resign and redate the form. the whole form, dont just send the first page

@Crazy Cat since I first submitted my AOS on Aug 23 and NVC has yet to review them and I am resubmitting them with the misprint of my husband name fixed, will the NVC still go off of my Aug 23 submission for review?

As a note, as soon as you resubmit the new form, it will " Reset" your review clock. You will have to wait about 69 days from the date you upload the correction, based on review times updated today.

My documents have not even been reviewed for the first initial submission is what I am saying. So from my understanding it will not reset . It only resets once NVC looks at them and issues you a request for evidence

From my experience in the past few months with doing an I130, the date reset from the last upload and submission you did. But we will see. Current review times are 69 days, a few months ago it was 76 days, so it's on the way down. once you submit, mark the calendar 69 days from Aug23, then 69 days from sep XX, and see what happens. I know the reviews literally happened to the day they were supposed to on the I130 I did. I could log in that day and see what was reviewed and accepted.

Me too.  Use the replace option and replace the whole thing.

Okay so we just uploaded and submitted it. What I did was I left my joint sponsors old I-864 form on there. And I went to add additional documents, I added the new updated I-864 form with a note stating the reason for the update because of the misprint with my husbands name and that my joint sponsor signed with todays date. So what I am thinking will happen is that they will accept the new form and reject the old one and DQ me that way, correct?
