I have question related with I-864 -

Does the person living in the same household co-sponser - needs to fill up the I-864A only or both I-864 AND I-864A as well.

I got confused reading at US Embassy website that says that co sponder needs to fill I-864A and there is no mention of I-864.

Thanks and good luck to all

Just have them fill out the I-864A. But, you have to include proof of your relationship (for example, I used my dad and sent them a copy of my birth certificate which lists him as my father) and also proof that you share a common household (I sent them copies of both of our driver's licenses which has the same address listed as well as copies of both of our W2's that were sent to the same address.)

It's official... CASE COMPLETE! Wheeeeee!!!!

Congrats, Holliday!!! :star: I loooove all this good news from the FFFF's!!

It's official... CASE COMPLETE! Wheeeeee!!!!

Wohooooo!!! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. :dance: :dance: :dance:

I really hope this trend continues that we get a case completion every week. Chrissy , cmls, and kevinbui86, you guys are next in line!! Hurry up!! :star: :star:

The AVR was finally updated this morning... it has the message about receiving the RFE checklist on May 7, 2009. So, I guess it has been scanned in and is in the process of being reviewed... I am really hoping for a case complete sometime next week so that we can get an interview sometime in June (maybe even later this month if we are really lucky and Naples isn't very busy). My doctor wants to induce me next week, so Ben won't be here either way... but the sooner he can get here after Sofia is born... the better! (L)

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO GOT CASE COMPLETION AT NVC.

Qucik question about I-864. When they ask for household size, they say DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE, So first it says. YOU AND THE PERSON YOU ARE SPONSERING AND THAT IS 2, SO THEN , What should I put below when they ask for spouse, Should I put 0 or leave it blank??? They ask to count all lines, so I think I have to put something!!! Please Reply!!!!!

Don't leave it blank. I put 0 and then wrote next to it that the intending immigrant was my spouse and that I already counted him in the other question. I am sure they run into that problem alot... so just put 0 and then specify why you are writing it and you should be fine. In general on those forms, never ever leave anything blank.

It's probably just a reminder. If you case has been under final review since April 30, you should be done by today. Can you still log onto the NVC Website?

Just so y'all know. The stats are changing daily based on the data, so since carlish & Holliday got thru NVC quicker than anticipated, everyone's dates got closer :)

Thanks for updating the spreadsheet. It's amazing what you do for us. Thank you. :thumbs:

I was just checking the stats for the US Embassy in Manila. It's looking that we may get an early July interview based on it. Someone who got their cases completed in third week of April scored a late June interviews.

July is fine by us. I just hope we'll get a confirmation from NVC already. The wait is killing me.

I'm leaving for the Philippines in 2 weeks to visit my dear hubby. My focus is on that right now. I can't wait to see and be with him again. It's been almost 4 months since the last time we saw each other.

Why are they inducing you? Most doctors wait until you're a week overdue before inducing unless there's a medical reason. The full moon is tomorrow so you may not have to wait until Tuesday though :)

No, I didn't. We have a travel agent. My family gets our tickets from her everytime we visit the Philippines. My ticket was $1045. It's not bad considering it's peak season right now.
