I-864 for 2 Differnt I-130's

[NArocks 13]

Man I am so happy I found this site, even though it was a little late in my Journey.

Here is the question for all you VJ GURU's

On the 864 it has household size.

A. Person on I-130 1

B. Me 1

C. My Husband 1

D. My daughter 1

Total 4 for one I-864 confused on the second I -864.

However now is the tricky part. I will have 2 I-864's in process for 2 Differnt Stepchildren. Do I add one to the D on one of the forms or not? It is not something that will affect the 125% rule by no means for me if you think that is the case.

Any help would be greatful. I have searched for Step kids on the forum and found no answers.

Hi narocks,

You have it right. As for your question, D will be filled out on both I-864's - so your total will always be 4.

Hi, my husband & I were going to go thru with the CR1/CR2 process as that is an Immigrant Visa that enables me to work when I get there. This route takes almost twice as long (stats right now) therefore he would have to apply for an I-130 for myself AND my son, one for each person therefore individual I-864's as well. We have changed our minds due to this process taking so long, just want to be together so now we will be applying for a K3 visa which is a Non-Immigrant Visa. I will have to apply for work authorization after I arrive in the US.

It all depends upon which Visa you will be applying for...only one I-864 if only one I-130 filed for your wife, kids would be listed on the I-130...

Family Based Immigration has an excellent link on their site regarding all that with step-kids...sure cleared it all up for us, unfortunately I can't post the link but it's under I-130 Petition - Alien Relative(USC) & I-129F Petition for Spouse (USC)! good luck to you!

Hi Jen,

I believe the OP is doing their adjustment of status.

Ok so even though I am doing 2 Differnt I-864 as they are not my dependents yet I will fill both of them out with 4 correct? I do not want any RFE's because I may have missed something. thanks

They aren't your dependents yet, however for the purpose of the I-864 they are dependents.

I would strongly suggest that if you are not comfortable with my answer that you call the National Visa Center at 603 334-0700 and following the prompts you will press 1 then 5 to speak with an operator.

Good luck!

You mean NVC suggested you put 5 for the total??

After an extended conversation I basically got no help, I called back and spoke to a different person, same thing. They could not really help me on how to fill out this particular portion. Both times it was like they were more confused then I was. So I added it up as 3 currently living in the house and the 2 I am applying for and sent it off. Hopefully no RFE. Still waiting on the fee bill and then we are off to the races

I didn't realize you had another person in the house, sounds like you made the right choice, let us know how it goes.

Good luck with that
