Hello everyone, Im new to this site but I was hoping for some help with a question I have.

Just recently, I got married in Japan to my (now wife) after years of long distance, and I happy to say that we have decided to move back to America together! (hence the I-130 application ^_^) Sorry for my happy rant. Anyway, I realized through my searches online, this site, etc, that you have to be financially stable enough to support your partner, or you will need to be sponsored so they do not become a "tax burden". This form is the I-864a, or the "Contract between sponsor and household member." Based on my savings, salary, etc, I dont think i will be able to sponsor my wife. My parents came to the rescue and said that this was no problem. Mom and dads are the best huh?? dancin5hr.gif

my question though is this; when do you file the I-864a? do you send this document in with your i-130 packet, or is this at a later date? And if so, when do you hand it in? I just dont want to waste time making a silly mistake so I was hoping someone could help me out with this situation. Any comment is appreciated!

thank you so much!

You do not send the I-864 with the I-130. I-864 will be needed later, after your I-130 approval.

It should answer most of your questions :)

Congratulations and good luck :)

That is the guide for the I-130.

The I-864 (not I-864a) will come later. You can read the instructions for it on the USCIS website and the NVC website also goes into detail. It's certainly not a bad thing to think about now, especially because you are both abroad. Do an advanced search on the board, and in the wikis. The I-864 comes during the NVC stage of the process (after the I-130 is approved which takes 4-12 months.)
