CRBA and I-864

[r060106 109]

Hi all,

Once my child is granted their American passport with the CRBA, do I still need to include them on the I-864/I-864ez form I'll be including in my wife's IV package to the NVC? Or because they will be a U.S. citizen do they not need to be included on the form as being supported by me? I searched the forum for further clarification on this issue but couldn't really find anything. Thanks a lot.

I meant can I still fill out Form I-864EZ, instead of the I-864, while still counting them as part of my household?

You need to count them since they are your dependent child. Their citizenship has nothing to do with it.

Yes, you can file I-864EZ.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.

{Drumroll...}

And the result is...?

Has that inclusive name of your non-immigrate children (since Child Citizenship of 2000 made them American automatically) work? Recent at ACS upstairs of NOAx in U.S.E. Manila, my wife and I had interview and CRBA + U.S. Passport was granted to our son. Now I am encounter the same problem whether inclusive our son's name to Part 3. 2a Family Member necessary, since he is not immigrate but traveling to America for first time.

I have logical answer here, which found on Part 5. Item 4. "If you have dependent children, enter the number here." If I read elsewhere whether a child, whose confer CRBA and do not classify as Immigrant, then this child is exempt from taking medical examination. I will update that question brought up by someone else, through on other subject.

Back to CRBA and I-864 question. Here on page 4 of I-864 it said, "Your Household Size - DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE...Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:.." Let go back to Part 3. Item 7 in page 3 it says: "Enter the total number of immigrants you are sponsoring on this form from Items 1 through 6." Instruction sheet of I-864 clearly stated on Part 3 tells me which made sense: any child whose status earned CRBA is NOT "sponsor alien." My son partly, after all, is American, not alien.

Alien child holding foreign passport is immigrant child; child holding CRBA plus U.S. Passport is America citizen child. Does that make sense?

Trivia on CRBA in modern age: William Jefferson Clinton signed Child Citizenship Act of 2000 while Gorge H. Bush issued executive order to streamline and strengthen CRBA.

Excellent information Richard! I'm working on to find the combination incomes of mine and CRBA sons regarding I-864 AOS if it's allowed to meet above the poverty line BECAUSE I have to count my boys based the household size of 4.
