can I ask... why are you filing an I-864? I didn't see this in the guides or instructions.

We are also going to apply for my wife's kids. I wasn't planning on including an I-864.

Thanks

Gordons2009 is a Permanent Resident, so an Affidavit of Support (I-864) is required.

Since your wife is a USC with children under the age of 18, your stepkids don't require that form, they send the waiver (I-864W). They send it as part of the forms required for the NVC process (DS-3032/email template, I-864 or waver, and DS-230).

The I-864 information is mentioned in all the NVC guides, most of which are written for spouse applications, but the process is nearly identical for other family immigration categories. There isn't as much information about the waiver, but if you read the wiki guides - IR-2 (and CR-2) Visas and I-864W - that should help clarify the process.
