Must CR1 beneficiary sign I-130a form?

[Sunny3 0]

I'm abroad. Husband is U.S. citizen living in the U.S. We got a RFE few weeks ago and I'm the beneficiary of CR1-IR1 visa, I get confuse reading people saying they did not sign the I-130A form because they are living outside the U.S. butI also read the form saying if I don't sign it can result in a denial. Can you please what should we do? As we don't want to get denied after waiting over a year. Thank you

The beneficiary does not need to sign the I-130a unless they are in the USA at the time of filing.  What was the RFE for?

Thank you for your reply. The reason of the RFE: We forgot to submit the I-130A form.

Just being straight here.  I doubt you "forgot" anything. I get that you did not submit the form, but I suspect it was because somebody didn't do enough homework to know it was needed.  Time to make sure all the homework is done for this and the next stage.  Otherwise, you will experience disappointing delays, or worse.

God is on our side. Our case won't get denied and our young child is already a U.S. citizen, we are busy parents also in our 40s and 50s, trust me at those ages is easy to forget things sometimes. It happens to anybody
