CR2 and I-864

[portorusa 431]

My husband and his 15 y.o. son had their interview but are in AP now. The stepson decided not to immigrate after all. So, he will not be coming and using his CR2 visa.

Question: Am I still financially responsible for him due to I-864 that I signed? If yes, for how long?

[Georgia16 2,858]

No because he won’t use the visa he gets.

If the stepson never immigrates then no you are not responsible for him under the I-864 how could you be if he never came to the US.

Abandonment of residency terminates the affidavit

In AP via the Paris embassy?  Any idea why?

Thank you for your responses!

AP is due to a missing document, Police certificate for the child. It was submitted the same day but the case is still in AP.

In that case, hopefully the AP will be done soon.

Police certificates are not normally required for persons under 16 years old. Strange that they would want it regardless.

As he is currently 15 maybe they expect he will turn 16 prior to the AP being over and at which point they would need them? Just a thought

True, I didn’t think of that. Guess it’s a close call.

We didn’t know that being 15 years 8 months of age is “a close call” to anything. The child has never been arrested, nor had problems with the law. It would be helpful if the Paris Embassy had this document listed as required for children so people would get prepared. Oh well.

Now my husband and stepson are stuck because of that, and ironically it turned out that CR2 is not going to be used at all.

I see AP as a “black hole” where they throw you in and forget about it as you are now a low priority.

Everyone gets an AP step.

It IS possible to cancel visa processing before the physical visa is issued and placed in the passport.

The I-864 is executed upon the the person being sponsored becoming an LPR. If they never do so, then the I-864 is never executed.

Not true. Still many lucky ones get approved on the spot, visa issued within 2 days. 

I know of a person being interviewed for the same type of visa in the same Embassy on the same day, and this person had his visa in hands within 5 days.

This I do know but we do not trust the Embassy to “make waves” like that, may end up in a mess.

Besides, we’d like to keep the door open for a confused and conflicted teenager, at least for a few months of the visa validity in case he changes his mind.
