I-864 Form 2020

[edizon1 4]

Hello there. Hope everyone is doing well. So my husband (USC/petitioner) and I are preparing to fill out the I-864 form for me and our 2 year-old daughter (IR1/IR2). And we just have a few questions. BTW, He filed 2 separate I-130 forms, got RFE for both cases, and just waiting for approval.

 

Question 1) Does he need to fill out and upload 2 separate I-864 forms for each of our cases or fill out only one i-864 form and upload the same form for both of our cases?

 

Question 2) In Part 3, Item Number 1, as shown on the pic attached, are we right in ticking the YES box? Since our daughter will be immigrating with me at the same time, do we tick the box of Item Number 2 and write her name on Family Member 1 (Item 4.a onwards)?

 

Question 3) I've read from the past threads that instead of I-864 form, I-864W  should be uploaded for beneficiary less than 21 years old. However, I believe it is no longer required by the  NVC and the form is not in the USCIS website anymore. As per the USCIS website "Form I-485 is now used to collect information previously collected on Form I-864W, Request for Exemption for Intending Immigrant’s Affidavit of Support. Adjustment applicants no longer need to file Form I-864W." Does my husband need to fill out I-485? 

 

Feel free to share your experience. Any response will be highly appreciated.

A) I assume your daughter does not qualify for a CRBA?  Have you tried and been denied?

 

1) All immediate family immigrants need their own petition.  Was a petition filed for the child?  Does the child have their own case number at the NVC? 

There should be an I-864 for you, and an I-864 for the child. 

2) this is incorrect - see above

3) this was only in the case of a child who would become a USC upon arrival and did not qualify for the CRBA.  I'm honestly not sure what form they are currently using but an I-864 still seems appropriate.

Our daughter unfortunately does not qualify for CRBA. Thanks for the response.

A separate petition was filed for the child?

Okay good then I would just submit the I-864 for the child.  You'll apply for their passport after arrival anyhow. 

@pushbrk Is this appropriate?

Ah thanks... Just want to get clarification on this to avoid getting RFE.

That does seem to be the thing to do in absence of the I-864w or suitable replacement.
