Filed I-130 for parents - Affidavit of Support question

[LuckyDucky 0]

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone with experience might be able to help us answer a question. =)

My wife, who recently became a US Citizen, has filed individual I-130s for her mother and father.

We are filing out the I-864 Affidavit of Support and included both parents in the form - her father as "Principal Immigrant" in Part 2. Both parents are listed in Part 3 as "Family Members"

Does she need to fill out one for her mother as "Principal Immigrant", as well?

Thanks,

Ducky

They should ask her for a separate I-864 for each of them, since they have separate petitions. Each of them will be the principal immigrant on their I-864. No, they will not be listed on the other person's I-864. In Part 3 #2, it says "Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition."

Thanks for the quick reply!

The only "odd" thing is that the Household size will then come up with "3" for each petition (me, wife, dad) & (me, wife, mom), when it really will be "4" after all is said and done. How does that get resolved?

I did a little more searching and have read other accounts where the Household count isn't what it ends up being, but it works out in the end, so she will put a "3" for each affidavit

Thanks again!
