Form I-864 AOS Question

[emerald04 3]

These may be dumb questions, but I need a little help:

1. Page 1 - mailing address and other information section - I can't tell if it's going along with Part 1 or Part 2. Do they want the info on the sponsor (me - from the US) or the immigrant (my husband from Kenya). I've seen examples that show both, so I don't know who's info they want.

2. On my original visa packet that I sent in, I listed my husband and his son. My husband of course is the principal immigrant. In Part 3 it says "Part 2. Do not
include any relative listed on a separate visa petition." Do i list his son as a family member or do I have to do another I-864 for his son? (My husband will come first and then in a few months his son will come to the US). I'm not sure if I list a family member on the same visa petition....eg - his son.

3. Part 9 - since I'm self preparing I just leave blank?

4. Also - this has to be done hard copy right? When I called the NVC, they said they are reviewing his assign agent form, but in the meantime I could complete this form and then when the fee was available I could pay it. I was thinking it was online, but seems like it's a hard copy mail in type form. And I'm guessing I should hold off on mailing it in until they give me the list of stuff they need in addition to it.

Thank you so much!

Answers:

• It's your form, so write your address.
• I-864 for husband and son (only need to pay the fee once though)
• Yes
• Yes, I-864 is not done online. You will need to print the forms and mail them to the NVC along with accompanying documents.

Ok, so I do an I-864 for husband and another one for his son? Or I just include the son as a family member on the one I do for my husband? Thank you so much!!!\

(also, I realize the address question seems dumb...but I didn't want to screw it up and a few pages later they clearly ask for my address. the form seems to go in columns, so it would appear they want my husbands, but since it's at the top of column 2 it's by my name...... Thanks so much!)

You will be filling out two I-864 forms.

These posts bring up a question about the two 864's....On the parent's...you list the spouse as the principal immigrant and the child as "Family Member 1" that will immigrate at the same time. For the son's do you change these?? (List him as the Principal and the spouse as "Family member 1") or just submit two copies of the same???...thanks...

1. Part 2: Information on Principal Immigrant, so they want your husband's information, his address and if he has an "A number" already. Part 4: Information on the Sponsor, is where you enter your address.

2. "Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition." If you filed separate I-130 for your husband and his son, then do not list them here, they each need their own I-864. The reason you would not list them under Family Member is because they are your Immediate Relative, not your Family Member. As an example, this section would be filled if you were filing for your sister (she would be considered family member and not immediate relative) as the Principal Immigrant and her son; her son would then be listed under Family Member 1.

3. Yes

4. The form requires a signature so you have to mail it in.
