I-864 FOR WIFE AND STEPCHILDREN

[CELIMAR 0]

Hi, I have a few questions, I'm confused about the I-864.

I married a USC and I have two kids, we'll do the AOS as we are already here. Does my husband have to fill out a different I-864 for each of us? I'm confused cause it says that a diff I-864 has to be filled for each immigrant that has a I-130 filed on their behalf. And since I'm immigrating with my two kids (5 year old twins), my husband will have to file three I-130, one for each of us. But then it says on the I-864 that photocopies can be sent when a relative is immigrating with dependents. Is this only if the relative is a child? It doesn't apply when the relative is the spouse?

Someone, please help!

Page 3, column 2, section titled "Do I need to submit an affidavit for each family member?"

specifically this part:

"Separate affidavits of support are required for intending immigrants for whom different Form I-130 family-based petitions were filed....

Often a spouse or minor children obtain visas or adjust status as dependents of a relative, based on the same visa petition. If you are sponsoring such dependents, you only need to provide a photocopy of the original Form I-864, as long as these dependents are immigrating at the same time as the principal immigrant or within six months of the time he or she immigrates to the United States. You do not need to providec opies of the supporting documents for each of the photocopied Forms I-864."

also, Page 5, part 3.

specifically:

"The immigrant you are sponsoring may be bringing a spouse and/or children to the United States. If the spouse and/or children will be traveling with the immigrant, or within six months of the immigrant's entry to the United States and you are sponsoring them, you should list the names and other requested information on the lines provided."

So, only one I-864 is needed. Thanks!!!!!
