Form I-864 question 6 part 5 & questions 21, 22 part 6

[crontab 0]

I am filling this form to adjust the status of my wife as she came to the USA on a tourist visa. We go married when she was here. 

Question 6 part 5 states:

 

If you have sponsored any other persons on Form I-864 or
Form I-864EZ who are now lawful permanent residents,
enter the number here.

 

I have sponsored several of my family members in the last 15 years or so. All the paper work has been handled by a lawyer so I am assuming it is the same sponsorship asked in this form. I only had to send my income information to them and sign a paper.   The most recent sponsorship was done last year to my brother-in-law. 

 

That being said, do I have to include all my family members I have sponsored in the past or only the must recent one? 

 

Questions 21, 22 part 6:

 

The people listed in Item Numbers 8., 11., 14., and
17. have completed Form I-864A. I am filing along
with this affidavit all necessary Form I-864As
completed by these people.

 

One or more of the people listed in Item Numbers
8., 11., 14., and 17. do not need to complete Form
I-864A because he or she is the intending immigrant
and has no accompanying dependents.

 

These two statements should be left blank in my case correct?

All of those you've sponsored and who are currently green card holders. If they're US citizens, omit. If they're permanent residents, include.

Is your income enough to support everyone you've sponsored who is current a green card holder, the person you're sponsoring now, and all of your dependents, if any? If yes, you don't need any of the above. You need one I-864 from you, listing all of those mentioned above as dependents for the purposes of the form.

I was reading the form I-864 instructions and this is what it says:

 

Item Number 6. Type or print the number of lawful permanent residents whom you are currently obligated to support
based on your previous submission of Form I-864 as a petitioning, substitute, or joint sponsor, or Form I-864EZ, Affidavit
of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, as a petitioning sponsor. Include only those persons who have already
immigrated to the United States. Do not include anyone for whom your obligation to support has ended through the
sponsored immigrant’s acquisition of U.S. citizenship, death, abandonment of lawful permanent residence in the United
States, acquisition of 40 quarters of earned or credited work in the United States, or obtaining a

 

 

...acquisition of 40 quarters of earned or credited work in the United States...

 

so now the question is, 40 quarters of earned income...are these 10 years of work in the US?

In general, do not count the ones who

1. have already become US citizens

2. have become PRs 10 years ago.

 have become PRs 10 years ago? what do you mean with PRs?

[Villanelle 4,122]

PR is short for LPR- perm resident/greencard holder- GC holder. So you need to include anyone you sponsored who is not a citizen yet (still has GC) and then review those people and see if that list contains anyone who has had their GC for at least 10yrs AND has been working full time for those 10yrs. Those individuals MAY have earned the 40 credits needed to void your aff of support for them. They can check their SS online and see how many credits they have, if they have 40- you dont count them. Anyone who is left that you previously filed an 864 for you have to also count. Does that make it clearer?
