NEW AFFIDAVIT FORM AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO BE UPLOADED TO CEAC AHEAD OR NOT? [merged threads]

[nelmagriffin 148]

Greetings! Please help!

1. During pandemic time all the documents were submitted and was documentarily qualified, three years later it is time for interview, Does the sponsor need to fill and sing a new Affidavit of Support or that old one is still honored as it is indefinite?

2. Do we simply just supply it the latest tax transcripts and the rest of financial support?

Thanks, NG

There’s a strong possibility they will ask for an updated I-864. It’s better to fill one out and have it with you - I’d rather have a document and not be asked for it rather than not have it after being asked for it, thus delaying a case.

Treat it as a new I-864 submission with all the supporting documentation.

Greetings!

I need some help and clarification with this matter. In 2021, all documents were submitted and were documentarily qualified, but due to pandemic no interview occurred. This time with the expedited trend going on, they are ready for the final action with this case. Meaning ready for interview. And because the petitioner’s affidavit of support I-864 that was submitted back in 2021 has a lot of changes that you could not change or correct important information and the changes that needed to be corrected absolutely impacts this case as the petitioner is retired, the address change, his spouse passed away (so minus one for the household total number) as well the income. So, the petitioner prepared a completed and signed a new affidavit of support I-864, along with its latest tax transcripts. Also have a joint sponsor completed and signed an affidavit of support along with all necessary financial documents.

Contacted US Embassy mentioned the above, they reply “if you needed to upload new documents just log in to CEAC”, I got that part with the civil documents that needed to be updated. But what we were asking is for them is to add a joint sponsor’s name so we can start uploading all the necessary documents under this joint sponsor’s name, otherwise we have no other choice but to upload it under the petitioner’s name specifically under other documents.

The petitioner wrote again as the interview will be very soon and wanted to be proactive especially knowing that she needed the above due to the changes since 2021, but the reply is something like it is up to the consul who would adjudicate case to see if she needed a new document.

And knowing the hassle of gathering all these documents and reading a lot of cases that they were asked to go out of the embassy and have them scan and download the documents is another hassle. We wanted to avoid this.

What would we do? Do you think that it is okay to just simply upload all the above documents to CEAC under other petitioner’s document column? What are your thoughts? Thank you kindly, NG

If the "Add Joint Sponsor" button is no longer enabled on CEAC, contact NVC via their public inquiry form to add a joint sponsor section to the account.  Another option is to simply upload the documents under the additional documents section.

Thank you. Chancy. It was a little bit frustrating especially because the replies are not the one, we wanted, and we simply wanted to follow to upload it under the joint sponsor's name. And yes, on the summary page of CEAC it mentioned clearly that if a financial sponsor is needed, we needed to contact the embassy right away as the case is already at the embassy and the simple button is disabled. I will email one more time and request to add the joint sponsor's name and I am hoping that they will do it. otherwise, I have no other choice but to add all new affidavit of support and the rest of financial documents under the additional document section. Just like what you mention. It is just very hard for them to go out scan and upload outside the embassy. Thanks!
