CR-2 I-864 Returned

[hipcat 0]

OK today I received a letter from NVC (CHECKLIST) indicating that they have reviewed the CR-2 application and it is missing or needs additional information. I aslo received the same letter for the CR-1 application I submitted. For both they indicate that they are missing DS-230 Part I which confusses me as I just received the NVC generated DS-230 Part I on 8/23/06 which are complete and ready to be mailed on Monday.

For the CR-1 this was the only thing indicated as missing - do I need to send in a copy of the DS-230 that is being sent on Monday? Why would they do this?

For the CR-2 they have also sent back the I-864 that was submitted for my 5 year old step-daughter that is immigrating with her mother. Based on instruction IV. Principal Applicants (immigrants) and Accompanying Dependents I submitted a photocopy of the I-864 that was being submitted with the CR-1 (Principal Applicant?) and included her name in Part 3 as an accompanying dependent.

NVC has returned the copy submitted for the CR-2 for the following:

Part 3

The biographic information provided in this part does not match the principal applicant of the associated petition.

Family members are not allowed in this section under this visa petition. The sponsor should complete a separate I-864 for each family member.

I am now a little confused about this ( since they apparently haved reviewed the original I-864 submitted for my wife with the CR-1 and don't have any problems with it and both I-864's were exactly the same since I only submitted a copy for the CR-2.

They also indicate that under Sponsor's Household Size section that the number on Line 2 does not equal the number of applicants listed in Part 3. Again very strange since they are OK with the original I submitted which lists My wife and then my step-daughter as a child immigrating with wife named above - this totals 2 immigrants being sponsored in this I-864 which is what I put on Line 2.

Also indicates that Line 5 from Sponsor's Household Size does not equal the sum of the numbers listed in lines 1 through 4 - WHAT the last time I checked 1 plus 2 equaled 3, but then again I am only an accountant so who knows?

Finally, they indicate that the Determination of Eligibility Based on Income is all wrong - number on line 2 does not correspond to the number on line 5 of Sponsor's Household size which I show as 3 in both places - I am guessing this is the result of the previous issues, but who knows.

Does this mean I need to submit a separate I-864 for the CR-2? If so, would I put my wife Sponsor's Household Size on line 3? Also should I file a new I-864 for the CR-1 even though they haven't asked for it? It would seem that if the copy is wrong then the original would be wrong as well.

I could really use some help interrupting this request from NVC

This is standard, for some reason their system gets ahead of the process, they are just waiting for the DS-230.

For the CR-2 they have also sent back the I-864 that was submitted for my 5 year old step-daughter that is immigrating with her mother. Based on instruction IV. Principal Applicants (immigrants) and Accompanying Dependents I submitted a photocopy of the I-864 that was being submitted with the CR-1 (Principal Applicant?) and included her name in Part 3 as an accompanying dependent.

NVC has returned the copy submitted for the CR-2 for the following:

Part 3

The biographic information provided in this part does not match the principal applicant of the associated petition.

Family members are not allowed in this section under this visa petition. The sponsor should complete a separate I-864 for each family member.

I am now a little confused about this ( since they apparently haved reviewed the original I-864 submitted for my wife with the CR-1 and don't have any problems with it and both I-864's were exactly the same since I only submitted a copy for the CR-2.

If you read section 3, it states on #9 Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition. Perhaps this is your problem?

They also indicate that under Sponsor's Household Size section that the number on Line 2 does not equal the number of applicants listed in Part 3. Again very strange since they are OK with the original I submitted which lists My wife and then my step-daughter as a child immigrating with wife named above - this totals 2 immigrants being sponsored in this I-864 which is what I put on Line 2.

Household size would be your spouse, her child and yourself which equals 3. So not sure where the problem lies. Confusing indeed. They say to simply send a copy for all petitions, yet they have do not add anyone in part 3 #9 that has a seperate petition. Hopefully someone will come along that has some answers.

Also indicates that Line 5 from Sponsor's Household Size does not equal the sum of the numbers listed in lines 1 through 4 - WHAT the last time I checked 1 plus 2 equaled 3, but then again I am only an accountant so who knows?

I had a similiar issue, they requested my mothers 2005 tax transcript on the check list as well as Please indicate why this person did not file taxes for all 3 previous years 2003, 2004, and 2005. When they already had 02,03, 04 and w2's for 2005 (indicating she had worked) at the time we sent in the I-864 2005 taxes were not due. Upon speaking with NVC they told me they both applied to the same issue the 2005 tax transcript and they simply grouped the two things together despite being one in the same. Might be worth calling and double checking on that, but seems similiar to my problem.

Does this mean I need to submit a separate I-864 for the CR-2? If so, would I put my wife Sponsor's Household Size on line 3? Also should I file a new I-864 for the CR-1 even though they haven't asked for it? It would seem that if the copy is wrong then the original would be wrong as well.

Couldn't we all? I think they could really use some help writing their forms! Someone will be along to answer the rest of your questions.
