Sent I-864 with my I-130, do I need to redo for NVC?

Two years? I guess by the third time I'll be able to fill the forms in my sleep. Is that the new expected timeframe with the furlough and COVID business?

 

I have no idea, really.  I'm an immigration consultant, not a politician. LOL

No.  The whole process is likely to take two years or more from the time you file the petition.

 

In any case, I better get comfortable then! Thanks for the info. ✌️

Hi everyone,

 

I just got my NOA2 for the IR1/CR1 visa process and saw that looking forward I will be required to submit an I-864. I already submitted it with all of the relevant documentation (proof of domicile, tax forms, etc) when I sent off the packet back in October 2019, so I am wondering if the one I sent off is still valid or if I will have to go through and fill out another I-864. Also, assuming I messed up in sending it with the I-130, was it already approved with my I-130 approval (as in, judged to be without mistakes etc), or would it have been just set aside to send to the NVC?

 

I've done a lot of internet searching over the past few days but I can't seem to find any relevant insight on this. I did see that I would potentially have to provide updated tax information as it's now available for 2019, but if the whole of the I-864 was already accepted and judged to be fit, then would I still need it?

 

Potentially relevant information: I am the petitioner living with my spouse in Ireland, we submitted the I-130 packet to Dallas, Texas, so I guess the Texas Service Center? It was forwarded to Potomac Service Center before being sent to the NVC. Hoping to finish things in the US Embassy in Dublin.

 

I'd appreciate any and all information that can be provided. Thanks for reading.

I would definitely submit it again to the NVC portal. When you get into the portal you will see that it is broken down into two sections -- one has folders for everything the beneficiary needs to submit, and the other has folders for what the petitioner needs to fill out. So unless you see that they have already uploaded the copy of the I-864 you provided, you will have to upload one into the appropriate folder in order to have your case fully DQ'd (Documentarily Qualified). On the plus side, this form is one that does not have an option for filling out and submitting online, so if you made a copy of the one you already filled out you'll already have the info to put into the updated form with the 2019 tax info.
