I have a very confusing question, I was filling out the I-864 form y husband and child, for my child's I-864 do I still need my husband to fill out the I-864A since we're married? I don't have a job and haven't worked so I have a joint sponsor but I don't know if I need to ask my husband to fill out the I-864A?

I-864A is for household members combining income for sponsorship. If your husband is not yet in the country he is not part of your household. Where is your husband now? Is he immigrating with your child? Does your child not qualify for US citizenship anyway? Is it your birth child or your step-child?

Yes we're all still outside the US so I guess he doesn't need to fill out then. Yes he's immigrating with our child. My son doesn't qualify for the CRBA due to lack of residency which is why I just filed the I-130 for them. :)

I am not intending to hijack this posting, but I don't know where to look for answers. I the US Citizen am planning to Petition for my Philippine Citizen wife to move with me to the USA in a few months. I have done a lot of reading, and I think I understand the process for that, but we decided to bring her twelve year old son with us also. What forms do we fill out for that, and how much will the visa processing fees cost? Does it cost less money to bring him with us than it does for the processing fees for my wife? Thank you, and I am continuing to search, but I just haven't found any answers to how to Petition for him to come with us, and how much the Petition and his interview will cost. I think the medical will be the same cost as for my wife? Thank you! If someone would help me with answers to how we can bring him with us, that would be wonderful!
