Should I send G-325A and I-864 along with I-130?

[newUSC 1]

Hi,

I'm sponsoring I-130s for my parents and brother.

Someone suggested sending their G-325A Biography, plus the I-864 Affidavit of Support, along with the I-130 applications to speed up the process (similar to the I-129F process where G-325 and I-864 were sent together with I-129F).

The I-130 application does not tell me to do this.

Is this a good advice or it will jeapadize the I-130 process?

Please advise. Thank you.

No, you only send the I-130 for your parents and brother. As per the I-130 instructions you don't need to send the G-325A since that form is only used for spouses.

What Documents Do You Need to Prove Family Relationship?

D. A completed and signed Form G-325A, Biographic Information, for you and a Form G-325A for your husband or wife.

The I-864 is not needed by the USCIS for I-130 petitions. You will need to submit it once the petitions reach the NVC (National Visa Center) and they request it.

I heard that once the I-130 approved by USCIS and forwarded to NVC, the NVC will ask for G-325A and I-864.

Is it true?

[Mononoke28 135]

No, it's not true.

You can read the Time Savers thread, pages 1, 10 & 11 in the National Visa Center forum to get an idea of the forms the NVC will need which are DS-3032, I-864 and DS-230. The bills to pay are the AOS and IV Bill.

Hi,

So the G-325A Biography is not required, is this correct?

Thanks

[Mononoke28 135]

Correct.
