Please help!!!

 

I already paid 1 AOS fee for both parents. It shows "paid" now. I am currently filling out the I-864 form. The internet fillable one is not automatically typing "1" for myself under Part 5 #2. So I am completing it written. My question is: 

1. Since I only paid 1 AOS fee, do I complete only 1 I-864 form?

2. Under Part 3 #2, do I check this box and write my other parent's name under Family Member 1 since they are immigrating at the same time? 

3. Related to my question #2, it says on Part 3 #2 "Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition", does this mean that I should not write my other parent's info in this form?

 

 

1. Since I only paid 1 AOS fee, do I complete only 1 I-864 form? Nop you pay one fee but upload separate I-864ez for both parents separately and upload in their respective accounts 

2. Under Part 3 #2, do I check this box and write my other parent's name under Family Member 1 since they are immigrating at the same time?  part 3 is information about petitioner only on I-864ez form

3. Related to my question #2, it says on Part 3 #2 "Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition", does this mean that I should not write my other parent's info in this form? I think you are filling up I-864 and not I-864ez. 

 

I am not expert but I am telling you based on what I have done. Hope this helps :)

For Form I-864:

1. It let me type in 1 for myself but if it does not let you, then just add it after you print. Make sure you type the correct total number in "Household Size".

2. Do not check the box (it states "do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition") and do not write anything under Family member 1.

3. Correct. You are completing 2 different I-864 forms which you need to upload to each parents account. Do not mention both parents nor count the other parent for household size. So if you're sponsoring your father and you are married, you count 1 for yourself, 1 for your spouse, 1 for your father - total household size 3. Do the same for your mothers form.

 

Also, don't forget to write N/A for any questions you did not answer if they did not apply to you.

Thank you! And yes, I am filling out I-864. What is the difference between I-864 and I-864ez?

Thank you! This helps a lot! I will re-do the form and maybe try if the form will let me type 1 for myself. If not, then I will just write it.

I think is you are the only sponsor the use I-864ez and if you have other family member sponsoring with you then file I-864.

Just my parents. Did you complete one I-864ez for each parent?

Yes separate I-864ez for each parents. If you are the only sponsor ( All income under your W2) then you should do I-864ez. 
Sometime multiple sponsors needed in that case I-864 is required.

Awesome! I will do the I-864ez instead. Thank you!

I am trying to upload my Income Tax Return and other documents, but they are more than 2mb. I already compressed them but they still exceed 2mb. Any suggestion or tips how to make it smaller?

Google "free pdf converter" and use it to compress it more: https://www.pdf2go.com/compress-pdf

Make sure you're uploading one type of document at a time. tax return | salary letter etc

I used the same one, make sure its properly readable after compression.

Thank you! I just finished uploading them last night. Hopefully I didn’t missed anything. 
 

Does anyone knows how long does it take for NVC to respond after uploading these documents? I uploaded Civil Documents and AOS. Both categories are showing “submitted”.
