I-864 sent to NVC. Now filing AOS. Send another I-864?

[sqtb 0]

I sent the I-864 to the NVC as part of CR-1 processing. In the meantime, my wife got her K-3 and will be in the US shortly. So now I will be applying for AOS.

My question is: Do I need to send another I-864 along with the I-485 Packet, and include the fees for it again? Or, can I simply say that I have already sent it to the NVC? (I could include a copy of the form I sent to the NVC, since I have one.)

Thanks!

sqtb,

The instructions for I-485 tell you to include an I-864 from the sponsor. Believe it. The DoS having an I-864 from you for a visa that you're not going to apply for does the USCIS no good when they process your I-485.

The instructions for I-485 do not tell you to send any fee with the I-864, nor do the instructions for the I-864 itself. (Because the USCIS does not charge a fee for processing I-864.)

ah, I see. But as far as I know, NVC will send my file back to USCIS once I tell NVC that I am applying for AOS. If that is the case, then USCIS will get my I-864, no?

Thanks!

In theory yes but in real USCIS life NO.... you will need to file another one with your AOS..... unless you want an RFE in a few weeks....
