I am filing for a spousal visa for my wife along with a CRBA and DS-11 (passport application) for my daughter born abroad. My question is do i need an affidavit of support (I-864) for my daughter who will be a US passport holder? I know I need one for my wife and I will also need a co-sponsor for her, but I'm not sure whether to have my co-sponsor list my daughter on the I-864, because my daughter will be a US citizen.

🇵🇭 CR-1 via DCF in Manila 🇺🇸

10/01/11 🖇️  1'st Met Online via DIA (Date in Asia)

04/21/12 🖇️  1'st Met in Person

09/15/12 🖇️  Moved to Cebu, Philippines

07/21/16 🖇️  Married Abroad in Cebu

10/28/16 🖇️  Birth of Our Daughter in Cebu

04/21/17 🖇️  Daughters CRBA & US Passport applied for via US Consulate Cebu ($205)

05/18/17 🖇️  CFO program attended and Certificate issued (For wife to attend only) (400 php)

05/24/17 🖇️  I-130 Immigration Petition Filed at US Embassy Manila ($535 or 27,285 php)

05/25/17 🖇️  Philippine Passport renewal for wife & application for daughter via DFA (No need for appointment as children under 7 are prioritized) (1,200 php each...so 2,400 php total for both)

06/07/17 🖇️  Daughters CRBA & US Passport Arrived via courier (Scanned and emailed to USCIS Manila per request)

06/08/17 🖇️  Wife and Daughters Philippine Passports ready for pick up

06/16/17 🖇️  Email received of Approval Notice of I-130 Petition (No case # in this 1st email)

06/29/17 🖇️  Received Case # in an email, with instructions on filing DS-260, scheduling interview, & submitting mailing address for Visa delivery

06/29/17 🖇️  Filled out DS-260 ($230 I think) online and set interview appointment for 07/20/17.  Also pre-registered for medical exam at ST. Lukes (SLEC)

07/17/17 🖇️  My Wife arrived at 2:45 a.m. at St.Lukes for medical exam.  Finished in 1 day including results (16,043 php)

07/20/17 🖇️  Immigration Visa interview at US Embassy Manila. Passed and Issued (on ceac.state.gov) by the following day

07/27/17 🖇️  Passport and Visa delivered by 2GO to my house

07/28/17 🖇️  USCIS Immigration Fee (green card) paid ($220)

08/02/17 🖇️  Plane tickets bought for September 11th 2017

2 months (65 days) from petition filing to Visa in hand.  Total cost of $1,575 including daughters CRBA and US Passport (not including plane tickets & hotels in Manila)  I spent a total of $2,235 including plane tickets and hotels.  The visa agencies I looked at before starting this process, quoted me around $2,500 total, but not including my daughters CRBA and passport, plane tickets, hotels, and Philippine passports.  So in my opinion, it was well worth the journey.  It was about a 4 month journey for me  including the research and preparation before I started, but still worth it to me.  Thanks everyone here for all of the help along the way.  I couldn't have done it without you.

hi

 

no, the affidavit of support is only for green card holders

 

she is a USC, if she qualifies, she will get a US passport, no need for an affidavit of support no sponsor no joint sponsor,

 

you aren't filing a petition for her for a GC, you are passing your citizenship

 

you are your wife's sponsor, if you don't make enough, you can get a joint sponsor, but only for your wife

 

you would only need to petition for your daughter if she didn't qualify for CRBA, in that case you would file an i864W, a waiver because upon entering the US, automatically she would derive your citizenship
