DO I NEED AN I-864 FOR AN IR2 (DEPENDENT OF SPOUSAL IR1)

[Joey Y Ana 2]

Hello all,

 

I have 2 questions but first let me layout all the important details...I submitted an I-130 for my wife and another for my stepdaughter in August 2019. USCIS approved the I-130 petitions in April 2020. I filled out, signed and uploaded 1 I-864 into CEAC May 2020. I did not "Submit Documents" until much later due to a custody case that we were waiting on for our daughter. (Biological father has never been in the picture or helped out regardless of how much my wife tried. So he lost custody in 2021, which he never exercised to begin with.) All of our documents were approved and documentarily qualified in May 2023. Our visa appointment is in Ciudad Juarez, Mex on 21-Jul-2023.

 

So, I've had 3 tax seasons in between that time. The I-864 has an "expired" expiration date. I used 1 I-864 for both my wife and our daughter. 

 

Questions:

• Expired I-864: Should I complete, sign and upload another document into CEAC? Or should I complete and sign an updated one so that my wife can hand carry it juuuuust in case they ask for a recent one? We have all of my tax documents for the last few years already.
• I cannot find where I read that 1 I-864 would be good for both of them. Even though the forms have been documentarily qualified, should I fill out one for my daughter? The one i uploaded to CEAC was the same one I did for her mother. If I should complete a second one.....upload it? or have it on hand in case they ask?

Thanks in advance!!!!

The IR-2 needs her own I-864

Yes, for IR2 you will need a separate I864.  I would fill out two new I864s with the latest information.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you. I wonder should I upload them to CEAC or not.

If you can I would, but also make sure they have a copy for the consulate.

Are you a US Citizen, or LPR?  If US Citizen, there should be no interview appointment for the child with only 1 affidavit of support.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a U.S. citizen but I'm the petitioner and the IR2 (child) applicant is my stepdaughter. She has her own case.

Then she will need her own Affidavit of Support.
