Yes, AOS I-864 for each parent. Now, you will have to wait for the NVC number and Invoice Identification number to be assigned, before you can do anything else, it takes 2-8 weeks. You can start call

Yes, same here, that was good to know. On to the next step...

The petitions for parents are separate, though, and only one parent is listed on each petition. My guess would be multiple persons applies to the beneficiary with dependents, i.e. IR-1/2 or K-3/4. AO

Collie, I don't believe that is true. We have not been approved yet and we are from Feb. I know someone who took 1 year before approval. I think it is random. Shiela got very lucky! =)

Does anyone know which I-864 forms I should use? Or can anyone confirm...

My husband would be the sponsor for my mom and his mom because I don't work.

I would fill out the I-864 and he would fill out the I-864A for my mom.

He would only fill out the I-864 for his mom.

Is this right?

Hi Bryn&ellen, I am waiting a week after shipment of my file to NVC to start calling. See what this lady recommends. She is very good at explaining. She says after a week start calling 1-3 times a week and then everyday.

Kerran, I believe you are correct. 1-864 is for the petitioner and 1-864A is a joint sponsor like in my case I am not working but the same income jointly =) and yes your husband needs only 1864 for his parents =)
