Submitted I-864 on outdated form

[kjv62803]

We recently submitted I-864 and I-864A affidavit of support forms in connection with an immediate relative application. I downloaded the forms from the ILW.COM website and filled them out appropriately. Well...we had them returned to us because the forms we filled out expired on 9-30-06.

I know, I know....a mistake on my part...but in comparing this "OLD" version to the new version that expires on 10-31-07 - the 2 forms are identical in every way. The only difference is a small notation on the top of the page that says "expires on 9-30-06" versus "expires on 10-31-07". Why is it that the USCIS can not accept the forms filed seeing that there is not any changes on the "so-called" newer version?

Secondly, can I simply white out the date on top of the old forms that I mailed in and re-submit the exact same forms with the corrected date or will I need to re-do the forms in its entirety?

Has this happened to anybody else?

I would just fill out all the same information on the new form so as not to slow down your application.

Hi, I wanted to ask the same question. I had sent in the I 864 form but got a yellow notice saying that the form was expired and i needed to send the latest version. Unfortunately, the notice has gotten misplaced and i have the new I 864. I wanted some help if you could let me know the next step? Should i INFO PASS? Did you get the same yellow notice? If yes do you know the mailing address stated on the form?

I would really appreciate help or advise on the matter thanks!
