I am sponsoring 2 immigrants my husbands (Sr.) and stepson (Jr.). I also have two dependants myself here in the US. On part 3, question 2. states: I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within 6 months of the principal immigrant named in part 2 (Which will be my husband), but it goes on to say: Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition (which will be my stepson).

My questions is:

1. each immigrant has there own Ii130 petition therefore means I will need two separate I-864? Yes or No..... so that mean I would not mention my stepson on his father I-864 as family member part 2 question 2.a & vice versa

2. If yes that means part 3, question 7 would be 1? Yes or No

3. Wouldn't that throw my household size off by one in Part 5 on both I-864? because it means my household would only be me(1), dependants (2), and my husband (1) total of 4 instead of 5 excluding my stepson? and the same for my stepson's I-864 because it would exclude my husband. very very very confuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi

yes, two separate petitions, two separate i864

correct on 2, only one

I'm not sure If you add him as dependent, maybe put 3 on children? someone who has filled it out with dependents can tell you how they did it

Thank you Aleful.. I hope someone can tell me, because it seems like a form of misrepsentation if your excluding one person off.

My wife is sponsoring both of her parents. Each parent had their own petition, and now their own NVC case number. Although we will be a family of four (myself, my wife, her mom and her dad) in order to not count people twice we had to put down three on each I-864.

So we had in the following categories:

1 for the intended immigrant

1 for the sponsor (my wife)

1 for your spouse (me)

3 was the total number of people in the household on each I-864.

Here is the information regarding the cases for my in-laws (wife, their daughter, is the petitioner under the IR-5 category, Parents of a USC):

Submit I-130 (2 petitions) to USCIS on May 30, 2013

USCIS approved the cases on March 10, 2014.

Received notice online from USCIS the cases were sent to NVC on March 17, 2014.

NVC received the cases on March 28, 2014

The case numbers were created on Monday, April 28.

We received the numbers by phone on Friday, May 2.

DS-261 became available on both cases late in the evening on Friday, May 2. Both DS-261 filed on Saturday, May 3.

Received emails to my wife regarding AOS at around 8am on Wednesday, May 7. At the same time received emails that were cc of letters sent to my in-laws. However, the date of all of the letters was Monday, May 5.

Received emails regarding the Immigrant Visa Fee at around 11:15am on Wednesday, May 7. IV fees became available online at around 1pm on Wednesday, May 7. Date of invoice was Tuesday, May 8.

Paid all the fees on Wednesday, May 7 at around 1:15pm.

All fees marked as paid and DS-260 become available sometime late on Friday, May 9.

Dropped off IV and AOS packages (in two different envelopes - 1 for AOS and 1 for IV documents) at the local post office at around 2pm on Saturday, May 10.

Submitted DS-260 (for both cases) around 10am on Sunday, May 11.

Both document packages received by NVC on Monday, May 12 (according to Post Office Tracking - one around 1pm and the other around 4pm. Don't know why they got separated.)

Received checklist email for both cases at 4pm on Thursday, June 12 regarding the IV civil documents

Wife called NVC in the afternoon of Friday, June 13 to inquire about the checklist. Told by a representative they are normal and automatic and not to worry. AOS under review. Call back after Tuesday, June 24.
Received a checklist for my father-in-law on Monday, June 16. NVC reviewed his AOS paperwork, but waiting for the documents the requested the week before.

Wife called NVC in the morning of Tuesday, June 17. Told by the agent they don't have the document requested for dad, and they don't have the AOS package for her mom.

Put in a request with our Senator to get more information. Response was mother-in-law is documentary complete and father-in-law was in document review for the military document.

Wife called NVC on the morning of Tuesday, July 1 and spoke with a supervisor regarding her dad's military document. Supervisor said she would look into it.

Supervisor called us and left a voicemail on the morning of Wednesday, July 9 and stated they have located my father-in-law's military documents. Case sent back to document review.

Per conversation with an agent, the expedited request originally requested by email on July 7, was sent to the Embassy on Thursday, July 10.

Received by postal mail on Thursday, August 21 from our Senator regarding the response of another inquiry. Still the same.

Early in the morning on Friday, August 22:

Wife calls the Embassy and was told the IV section doesn't accept calls, and was given a number in the states that turned out to be scheduling assistance for NIV interviews.

Called NVC as soon as they opened and was told the Embassy denied the expedite request, but the case was completed by NVC on Monday, August 18. Wife inquired about interview scheduling, and was given some good information.

At 5 PM on Thursday, September 11, received the interview letters. Interview is scheduled for the morning of October 9.

Mother-in-law approved. Father-in-law placed in Administrative Processing due to follow-up TB test.

CEAC stated ISSUED for my mother-in-law on October 15. DHL had the package for pick up on October 17 but called the wrong number. Package picked up on October 27.

On December 11 mother-in-law received a phone call from the Embassy that the medical is back for my father-in-law and to DHL his passport to them. Passport sent on December 12.

On December 18 CEAC updated to ISSUED for my father-in-law. My wife is happy!!!! Embassy said they gave it to DHL on December 19

Due to a DHL delay the package did not become available for pick up until December 24. USCIS Immigrant Fee paid the same day.

POE: JFK Terminal 1 - December 26, 2014 - They are finally here!!!

Took them to a local SSA office to get SSN on January 6, 2015. Cards received on January 10, 2015.

Green Cards received by priority mail on January 23, 2015 (four weeks after arrival).

Both went to motor vehicles and got state issued ID cards on April 11, 2015.

Thank you so much dhlunar. It just the part about the immigrant you are sponsoring may be bringing a family member within 6 months or at the same time through me for a loop. Thanks for the clarification again

CORRECT very very very confuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I petitioned both parents and I was confused like you. So, I called NVC to get some clarification. They said that even though your household size is off by one number than what it's supposed to, they will be able to see your other AOS and they add the numbers up. So, on their end it will still show how many you're sponsoring and your total household size joined together.

Remember you have to submit separate evidence for each AOS as they're still considered different case and processed separately.
