household size calculation for the Affidavit of financial support

[Everley 1]

Hi all, can anyone say if my USC Fiancé (petitionioner) shared custody children who, as per the court's custodial arrangement, spends every other weekend with him (the children do not live with him, they spend every other weekend with him) and for whom he does alternate claim on annual tax returns are considered as part of his household size/ count in calculating the household size. He has 3 children with his ex-wife and they spend every other weekend with him and they are dependent on him. Their mom's home is their primary residence, so I need to know how to treat his situation for determining his current household size and the fact that, I, the alien fiance have 3 children, however, I plan to take 2 of my 3 children with me. Please note that our I-129f petition was approved on March 15, 2023, as such, we are awaiting our welcome letter from the NVC and I need some guide re Affidavit of finance support eligibility. I look forward to your response to my question, Kind Regards.

Looks like a household of 6 (his 3 children plus you and your two children).

That is for the CR1 spouse visa process.

 

For K1, you will not get a welcome letter.   There are no interactive NVC steps.   NVC will notify you when they send the petition to the embassy/consulate.  

 

Be aware, for K1 the affidavit of support is the I-134, not the I-864.   The petitioner will fill it out (I-134) and mail/email it to you to bring to your interview.

You can but I have seen many reports of the CO ignoring the bank account information and insisting on a co-sponsor.

Hi guys, i have another question for my church mom, so here goes;

She migrated to the USA via her daughter filed for her, she is now a Permanent Resident (PR) for the past 4 years and we were having a conversation re how things are progressing for me and my fiance and a part of our conversation was how long she has to wait to apply her US Citizen, I told her that I am a member of the Visa Journey and I could query on her behalf. Can anyone advise how long she has to wait to apply for US citizen being that she has gone 4 years as a PR. Also,  forgot to mention that she is 78 years old.

 

Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

Kind Regards

I thought it was 3 years or is the filling for parents and siblings different spousal and Fiance process?

 

I do appreciate your response and will pass on the info, however, please, if you know the clarification.

Only spouses of US citizens have the privilege to apply after 3 years based on the marriage

Thank you for the info.

 

Much appreciated
