When to submit I 864?

[bdshelton 0]

Hi guys,

 

another "dumb" question, 

 

I have completed the I 130, both G325A's, and G1145 for the I 130 Petition for my wife to come to the US and I am currently having friends and family sign affidavits of proof of a Bona fide marriage as further proof to our marriage. 

 

The question I have now is :

 

Do I also need to attach my I-864 Affidavit of Support to my I 130 package before sending it into the Chicago Lockbox? 

Or do I wait until my wife has been scheduled for her interview abroad in Argentina? 

If I do wait until it's scheduled, how do I get it to her? Just travel there before her interview and bring it with me? 

 

Is there anything else I have missing from my petition?

Your question indicates you have not yet studied the guides here or the I-130 instructions.  The answers to your questions above are clearly spelled out in the guides and/or form instructions.  Your careful study of them, will be critical to your ultimate success.  Once you've done that, the members are here to help you with what you still don't understand.  You'll be asking lots of questions no matter how much you study, but please don't ask the members to spoon feed you before you do your homework.

Your advice and answers are much appreciated but the childish arrogance of that last remark I could probably do without. Thanks.

Hi my friend, to answer your question, after you've submitted the I-130 petition along with the G-325A's, you'll have to wait for it to be approved by USCIS. Since I'm assuming you're going down the CR-1 visa path, you'll need to get a case # from NVC (Department of State) before you can send off the I-864 form with the civil docs, and wait for an email from them clarifying that your case is now complete. Soon after this stage, you'll get another email on the date & time for the interview. Hope this helps!
