[milane 0]

Hello

I was just reading the forum and someone stated that You have to fill out a I-864 form for your US Citizen children. Im (USC) filing for my husband my children are both USC, joint sponsor is my dad . So do I file a I-864 (Petitioner) and my dad for joint sponsor and one for each child??

thanks

We never filled out any I-864s for our USC children. They were counted as household members on the I-864 that my husband filled in to sponsor me, but that was all.

Didn't have a joint sponsor so can't help there I'm afraid.

The I864 instructions say

"Often a spouse or minor children obtain visas or adjust statusas dependents of a relative, based on the same visa petition. Ifyou are sponsoring such dependents, you only need to providea photocopy of the original Form I-864, as long as thesedependents are immigrating at the same time as the principalimmigrant or within six months of the time he or sheimmigrates to the United States. You do not need to providecopies of the supporting documents for each of thephotocopied Forms I-864."

It says you only need different affidavits of support if they are filed under different I130s. Are they all on the same one? Because the form says you only need photocopies. It seems like this is a question that USCIS should be able to answer to be sure.

marlaandalex,

The instruction applies to children who are applying for immigrant visas or adjustment of status. The children in question are US citizens.

You file I-864 only for whom you have petitioned to bring him/her to USA, in this case, your husband. Therefore, you don't file any I-864 for your USC children. You file one I-864 and your dad, as a joint sponsor file another I-864 for your husband.
