ADDITIONAL DOCUMENT REQUESTED AFTER INTERVIEW (Split from existing thread)

[kitkatsf28 0]

My son had his interview yesterday.  The CO gave him the 221g asking to submit my advisory of marriages ( I'm still married in the Philippines with the biological father but he filed a divorce when we went to the US and he remarried somebody else.  I remarried after 5 years.  My current husband is the petitioner of my son and he was also my petitioner when I applied for an adjustment of status here in the US.)  They were also asking for a copy of  divorce decree between me and the biological father of my son which took place in the US.  I already requested for a advisory of marriage from PSA.  

 

They were asking for my I-864a.  I am unemployed.  And I'm only helping my husband managing his business for free.  Should I still submit the form? My son made a mistake when the CO asked him if I'm working.  He told the CO that I'm working.  

 

They were also asking for my husband's timeline of marriages and divorce.  Signed and notarized.  Eventhough we uploaded all those civil documents to prove the legality of our union.  He was my petitioner, too.  I got my GC in 2015.  

 

I'm getting anxious about this and I've been longing to be with my son after so many years that we're apart.  I couldn't really sleep.  Yesterday I was so excited today I'm feeling so depressed.

If the consulate asked for your I-864A, then it's required for your son to get his visa.  Too late to do anything now about what your son said at his interview.  Maybe add a note in the "Additional Information" section of the I-864A that you are helping out with your husband's business in an unofficial capacity.

Somone should correct me with this. I heard that even if you have no income, you still have to fill and sign I-864A as a household member.

For spouses with no income, it's not a requirement stated in the I-864 instructions.  But if the CO asks for it, like in the OP's case, then it becomes a requirement.  Just like any other document requested in a 221(g).  There are many reports here on VJ of cases where the CO asked for an I-864A, even if the sponsor's spouse has 0 income.
