Hi!
My question is related to missing signatures in my children's I-485 application.
I have filed the I-485 for the kids together with me. Today I received the petition returned (only kids) due to a missing signature in their application (the whole document is stapled). I prepared the petition myself for the kids and thought that that would be enough to provide the signature in this section. However, USCIS returned the children's application package (mine was accepted though) due to missing applicant's signature. Since they are under 14, I (legal guardian) had to sign on behalf of them.
My question is:
1. Can I send the same application providing the signature? or do I need to make a new application? I see that USCIS also had a barcode and marked the I-485 application on some pages.
2. As the filing fee depends (it is less) if the kids are filed together (at least with one legal guardian) or filed separately. Now, if this application is filed again due to incomplete submission, does this mean the filing fee changes considering it was filed separately?
3. USCIS has provided the receipt number for this case. Do you have any experience(s) if the receipt number changes or remains the same (for checking the case online).
Many thanks in advance and good day.
