I-846 questions (case involving both wife and son)

[prg321 0]

I am a USC and am applying IR-1/CR-1 visa for my wife (Canada permanent resident/Chinese citizen) and toddler son (Canada citizen). They both live in Canada and I intend to have them move to US together.

I have filed separate I-130 for them and am now preparing their I-846. Here are my questions:

- Should I fill out separate I-846 for my wife and my son (my guess is that I should but would like to confirm)

- On my wife's I-846, should I check Part 3, question 9 and list my son there? And list my wife similarly in my son's I-846? (my guess is that I should NOT since they are already on a separate visa petition)

Thanks in advance!

Hello! If he's your biological son and you've lived in the US for five years or more (at least two years after being 14), then he's automatically a US citizen and you only need to apply for a US passport for him.

It's actually the I-864. I'll let someone else answer those questions as I have guesses but don't actually know.

You have two separate visa cases that will go through NVC, so yes, you need two separate I-864 forms.

Also I checked both boxes and the yes, and listed the other family member but haven't sent the forms yet. I'm not 100% certain this is accurate. In my case, the I-864 is for adjusting status.

Thanks!

Another related question: my son is 14 month old and he was born before I became a US citizen 7 month ago. Should I use I-864W (i.e., the AOS waiver) for my son instead of I-864?
