RFE for I-864 for K2visa

If anyone knows, please let me know!
I and my daughter entered the country on a K1 and K2 visa and applied for AOS, but only my daughter's (K2) I-864 received an RFE. I was unsure whether to send a copy of my I-864, but I created and submitted the original for my daughter, and then it resulted in an RFE. I believe there were no errors in the documents, but I am unsure why it resulted in an RFE. I regret not following USCIS instructions and sending my copy instead.
Should I send a copy of mine this time when submitting the RFE? My husband has applied for an extension of his 2024 tax return Form 1040. When I submitted the initial AOS application, I submitted a copy of the extension approval letter, but this time I want to be cautious, so I asked my husband to submit the 2024 Form 1040 immediately. In that case, I will need to update the I-864 (K1) I submitted previously. Will there be any issues if I submit it?


I plan to submit the following documents (Content of the cover letter for Form I-864)

1. Copy of RFE

2. Form I-864 Affidavit of Support, Under Section 213 of the INA

*The USCIS website I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA states that if I am sponsoring multiple immigrants, I can submit a copy of the original affidavit of support as an additional I-864 for the immigrant applicant listed on the affidavit. Therefore, I will submit a copy of I-864 for my wife (K1 holder) as an I-864 for my wife's daughter (K2 holder).

3. Copies of Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return (2024)

4. Copies of Federal Income Tax Return Form 1040 (most recent 3 years- 2023, 2022. 2021) + 2024

5. Copies of W2 s (most recent 3 years- 2023, 2022. 2021)

6. His company's compensation Cycle Annual Statement

7. Copy of Bank Statement: present balance

8. Copy of Stock Statement: present balance

9. Proof of Sponsor s US Citizenship Copy of passport Biographic Page

10. Proof of Sponsor s US Citizenship Copy of Birth Certificate

11. Copy of Applicant s Passport (K2) *Just in case

12. Copy of Applicant s Birth Certificate from Japan (K2)*Just in case

13. Copy of Applicant s K2 Visa Passport Page with Stamp of admission issued by a U.S. immigration officer (K2)*Just in case

As the title says I would like to see were we are in the list for 129 visa application but I can't see our exact account in the list and my timeline is somewhat barren. I am new and have no idea how the sight works if someone could give me a quick rundown that would be fantastic. Thank you in advance.

I recently received email from US embassy in Tokyo that notified my interview month and not exact date.

From my knowledge (by reading people s blogs and watching YouTube) I thought NVC would send you the exact date of interview, then US embassy would email you as follow-up. However I haven t received anything from NVC.

Should I send inquiry to NVC?

I attached the screenshot of email.

if anyone know what to do please advise!

Visa refused in Tokyo

Hello,

Unfortunately my spouse's visa was refused based on lack of proof of domicile according to this letter.

I submitted my proof of domicile via nvc showing my bank account, federal tax returns (but we used a joint sponsor), and my renewed driver's license.

They asked my spouse during the interview if I had any work lined up back in the states, but told them that I was still searching.

They took her passport and it seems like they would be awaiting mail from us.

How would I respond and proceed with this? Would it be better to just take our kids back to the US and try to apply for school? Any other evidence I can provide them?

Tokyo US Embassy emailed last minute request

US Embassy in Tokyo emailed a request for additional documents a week before the interview.

This caught us off guard because they were requesting this specifically

"Police Certificates from Japan (Unopenable) and China including English translation from the China s Notarial Offices"

We have the police certificate from Japan but we thought we didn't require one from China. She was a chinese national but naturalized japanese last year.

They linked us to this criteria on the state dept website:

"All applicants must obtain a police certificate if they are currently 16 years of age or older and have resided in their country of nationality for at least six months since birth and if they have resided in their current country of residence for at least six months. Police certificates are also required in any other country where the applicant has resided for at least 12 months and was 16 years of age or older at the time of residence."

The NVC didn't require us to submit this prior to being DQ. It also states that the applicant requires a police certificate IF she resided in her county of nationality atleast 6 months since birth. But her nationality is Japanese NOT Chinese. She left China to reside in Japan at 15 years old. Does the applicant meet the criteria to just use the Japanese police certificate?

Or does she still need both? We are caught off guard and surprised at this request as trying to get a police certificate in China is extraordinary difficult and time consuming.

We are a bit worried about this interview at this point and might consider rescheduling months ahead just because of this. Any insights?
