And now it's just a waiting game. Feels like waiting for someone, somewhere to respond is 99.9% of this whole process. Fingers crossed it's just a short wait to get the interview scheduled

 

 

How long did it take for you to go from "In Process" to "PAID"? I paid my fee last Friday, they withdrawal the money from my account but it still saying "IN PROCESS"

Longer than we expected. About 4 working days I think. We did the payment on the Thursday and saw the status change the following Wednesday.

It’s normally 3-5 days, so far as they’ve withdrew the money and you have a transaction ID then you are good.

I’m sorry can I ask you a stupid question did you fill out just the I-864 or do you have to fill out all 4? I-864 I-864A, I-864EZ, I-864W. I just got severely confused because they it doesn't specify what I have to fill out 😭

You need to fill out either I-184 or I-184EZ. As we're both outside the US we had to go with the full I-184. If you have joint sponsors then I-184A comes into play and everyone who is a sponsor will need to complete that as well. We don't, so this didn't apply to us. No idea about the I-184W.

 

You can find most of the info here: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/affidavit-of-support and https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html

Got DQ last night, submitted my case on the August 24, 2023 and got DQ on Sept 1st, 2023 so it roughly took 8 days to get DQ. I think the review time is faster now, get all your documents ready and submit them as soon as your payment is processed.
