Question about I-864

[nmahadka 0]

Hi,

I am filing AOS for my wife. She is here on a K1. I filled the I-864 out fine... but I have a question about part 1. What box should I check off as the basis for filing the application?

Regards.

I have! There is specific answer to this question... except that a I-864 must be filed! I guess maybe this is a a better question... does the word "petitioner" on I-864 Part 1a mean... the person who is filing I-485... or the sponsor filing I-864?

Hmmmm...............well, the USC is the petitioner and the SO is the beneficiary.

Ok this is what it says:

A sponsor completes and signs Form I-864. A sponsor isrequired to be at least 18 years old and domiciled in theUnited States, or its territories or possessions (see Step-by-step Instructions for more information on domicile). The petitioning sponsor must sign and complete Form I-864, evenif a joint sponsor also submits an I-864 to meet the incomerequirement. The list below identifies who must becomesponsors by completing and signing a Form I-864.

Who Completes and Signs Form I-864?

The U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who filed aForm I-130 for a family member, Form I-129F for afiance(e), or Form I-600 or I-600A for an orphan.

The U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien who filed anemployment-based immigrant visa petition (Form I-140) fora spouse, parent, son, daughter, or sibling who: (1) has asignificant ownership interest (five percent or more) in thebusiness which filed the employment-based immigrant visapetition; or (2) is related to the intending immigrant as aspouse, parent, son, daughter, or sibling.

So, the petitioner is the sponsor, which is the US citizen, which is you.

Hope that helps you.

Take a look at the example forms here, I used they through the K-1 and AOS, worked perfectly.
