My I-1864 Paranoia Thread

I don't think there is It's the same for the most part.

Assuming your brother was born in one of the 50 states, he's a citizen.

Edit: I see what a stupid question that was. So Question 23 and Question 24 is the same thing too.

Haha be nicer to yourself! This can be scary, I know. But yeah they should be the same.

well, he was born in jersey like me. but my thing is: does he check off BOTH parts, the first one where it says US citizen and the other one stating US national (for joint sponsors only)? I suppose I can call them and harass them lol.

it's funny....you know, i think i'm fairly intelligent. but when it comes to things like this, my mind literally shuts down. i feel sad and scared i'll make one tiny mistake and they'll delay my case for it. hence, my extreme paranoia

so now i've got:

both copies of i-864 from me and my brother (hopefully properly filled, i also called NVC today to ask about some stuff)

our tax transcripts

my brother's employment letter

do i need anything else?

oh and a cover letter that i wrote

thanks

He only needs to check off the citizen box.

Don't forget proof of his citizenship. And people often include recent paystubs. Maybe not 100% necessary for NVC but I'd definitely want to take them to the interview just in case.

No you don't - the other 3 were right (I have to question why you asked four times - no, on second thought I won't lol)

Hey you know, on questions 23 and 24 - these are not necessarily the same number for your brother. You said he has a wife and child. Question 24 asks for household income - that is how it is different - they want the income number for the entire household.

[meowmeowmeow 1]

what's the income number? oh #######, we put the same number????

i just called NVC again and they said don't put w-2....#######? the other operator supposedly asked her supervisor and she said i did...but im not going to send...

damn. another glitch...

[meowmeowmeow 1]

No, they want the income of anyone submitting an affidavit of support. It specifically asks for, "Income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size." Since the sister in law is not submitting an I-864A and only the brother's income is being used, 23 and 24 should be the same. You could have ten people living in your household, but if those ten people have not promised to support the immigrant then they are of no interest to the government.
