Congratulations! Great news! Were you expedited or just got through really quickly?

Good luck at NVC!

thank you so much :) i tried to get an expedite twice but was denied both times. One thing i did do tho was contact both my state rep and senator when i tried to get the expedite approved. I don't know if that helped me or not but at least i know that my rep and senator both took my concerns seriously and interceded for me. I'm still on cloud 9 :) Can't wait for the next part. We are READY!! :) :)

Hi Ryan,

I see. So is that the only way to do it? Can i choose to combine my parent income with my mine by have them both file i-864A? I am just curious. If it possible, which way you think it better because my mom also petition for my grandma at the same time. So i wondering if she need to count my grandma as a household member in her i-864A/i864 for my wife even though my grandma not here yet? Thanks so much for your time. Your info helped alot.

Thanks Ryan

Logically I know it is not going to happen without some sort of miracle..... but all I want for my birthday (today) or for Christmas (next week) s our NOA2! LOL :) :)

I've been watching the progress in the June & July threads to watch the approval dates get closer, and for the most part the look to be working pretty close to the 5 month mark.....

Best wishes all & happy holidays!!

((with any luck, this will be our last Christmas season living apart from our spouses & families!!))

Hi everyone,

Obama immigration action will be valid in January. Has anyone ever wondered if his action will affect the processing time for our CR1/IR1 petitions?

Correct, you still file an I-864.

Your mom: I-864

Your dad: I-864A

Order of who is listed on the tax return is irrelevant.

Finally, it's Ryan, not "Elite Diamond" (Elite Diamond is a member title). :) Plus, I don't think you are bothering me.

Hi Ryan,

Can you help me with my concern about counting household members. I am wondering if my mom need to count my grandma when she file the i-864 for my wife because my mom also petition for my grandma at the same time even though my grandma not here yet. Thanks so much for your time. Hope you can help!

Thanks Ryan

Not sure how to correctly answer this. If your grandmother had already arrived in the US, then that particular I-864 is in force and the answer would be clear, your mom would have to count your grandmother in her household count. But since that process is still pending, I don't know what the correct answer is.
