Do I need to file form I-865?

[chaydend 0]

Hello all!

 

Could not find this addressed and my (sponsor) brain is fried from filing paperwork all day. I'm currently in the process of completing my I-864 form for my wife's Green Card. We have filed form AR-11 since moving last month but now I am concerned that I should have filed form I-865 as well. Since I have not filed for I-864 before is it necessary for me to file form I-865? Once we do file form I-864 should I also file form I-865 since our address now is different from all the paperwork we have filed previously? All of our paperwork for the AOS is our current address.

 

Thanks

You can file I-865 even if you still haven't filed I-864.

Why didn't you include I-864 in AOS packet? This is a vital form. AOS won't progress without it and certainly cannot be approved. No reason to file I-865 since you haven't established sponsorship yet.

I865 is filed within 10 days of moving by a US sponsor who has previously submitted an I864 for immigrants who still fall under their sponsorship. 

 

PLEASE fill out your BLANK VJ timeline so that others are not confused by your post ss it seems that you've made a grave error by not filling an I864 with your already submitted AOS packet. 

 

Your VJ timeline would have told us what stage you are at so no assumptions would have been made.

Maybe I wasn’t clear in my post. We have not filed AOS yet. You may have answered my question though. No need to file I-865 until we file AOS? Was just worried I (sponsor) was supposed to notify of a change of address as well even though we filed AR-11 for my wife. I will fill out my timeline.

Just to clarify, my wife entered on K1 visa, we married on May 4, moved on May 19, reported address change with AR-11, and now are finishing our paperwork for AOS and submitting soon. We HAVE NOT sent AOS packet in yet.

No AOS => No I-864 => No I-865
