question about I-864 and I-864A

[Sassy_Gal 0]

Hi everyone,

I am filling out papers for my parents right now and getting a little confused. on the I-864 A (actually same question about I-864), where they want me to list all intending immigrants. If I am applying for both my parents, do I need to list them both, where they ask me to list all the intending immigrants? Or just one in each separate affidavit???.. Another thing, when they ask how many dependents, do I list both of my parents? or just one at a time?:/

Also a question, do I actually file two separate affidavits I-864 AND I-864A or just one for both of them? not sure how to do that , since I have to file two separate petitions for my parents. Please, help me wiht yoru advice. If I do file twp separate affidavits. How do I list intending immigrants then... both of them in each separate affidavit? or one at a time? (mom in one affidavit and Dad in another..)but then what to do with list of dependents:/

...

And one more question... Do I file affidavit with I-130 or it will ha ve to be filed later????? Also what about fee?? they say if affidavit is filed here then it will be a fee. So if my Mom and Dad are still in Russia, Do I file affidavit here or do I need to fill it out and send it to them so they bring it to consoular for the interview?????

I know I have many questions. But I will be very thankful for the answers!!!!

First, you have to be a US Citizen for filing this petition.

Second, you just send I-130 form right now. Don't worry about the I-864 at this moment. They will ask you for I-864 later.

Hope this answer will help you.

Think you have to worry about it if you don't have the resources, the I-864 is a contact between the sponsor and the government to assure the immigrant will not receive any type of city, county, state,federal or private aid. It's good to have the immigrant sign the I-864a if they are to become a household member so they share this responsibility and in some cases, may even have more assets than the sponsor to assure that the immigration process goes through. This may be a lot more relevant if the sponsored is a spouse that is coming here with the intention of cleaning you out as the I-864 is still in effect if that marriage ends up in a divorce.

Yet another concern in bringing people over here is our poor healthcare system and trying to get reasonable coverage, in the event of a divorce, that ex is no longer part of your policy, and if he/she falls of a ladder or gets some weird VD disease, you can get nailed to the cross.
