Just been wondering, how long on average does it take to receive the receipt notice in the post from filling you I-129F and them receiving it?

if anyone could give me an idea it would be greatly appreciated

My husband and I are currently living with his parents. We would need his mother as joint sponsor for I-864. So does his father need to fill out I-864a?

His parents file taxes jointly, but his mother herself already meets the requirement (above poverty line). From my research his father doesn t need to fill out 864a even though they file their taxes together, but I ve seen people saying it s necessary and some even got RFE for that. Does anyone have any suggestion or experience to share?

Hello,

My wife (beneficiary) lives outside the U.S. and is filling out form I-130A. She has lived in the same location for 20+ years, so she only needs to put one address. But she has lived there since she was a child and does not know the exact "Date From" from when she actually moved there (and no one else like her parents remembers either). She's able to narrow it down to an approximate year because she remembers what grade she was in in elementary school while living at that address.

Is it alright if she puts an estimated date (such as 01/01/2002) and then add a note in the Additional Information section explaining that she does not know the exact "Date From" date because she was a child when she moved there, but just an estimate based off her remembering being in grade school while living at that address?

Since she's lived there for 20+ years, I'm assuming it's not an issue since it's well past the 5 year address history that's required, but just wanted to ask before we submit it.

Thank you!

I was hit with a Request for Initial Evidence for both Wife and Stepchild. The yellow letter is stating my income may not qualify. I m a 1099 self employed person, I disclosed some assets thinking that would suffice, however it seems it did not. I ve since gotten 2 friends willing to joint sponsor so I have a few questions on how to reply to this RFE so it doesn t come back around.

1. when submitting the joint sponsors I-864, should I resubmit my I-864 as well?

2. I have a cryptocurrency portfolio worth approximately $70,000. Would that help if I disclose on an updated I-864, and what s the best way to do that?

3. Can anyone point me to a step-by-step guide on the best way to reply to this RFE?

4. Can I use one friend to joint sponsor on my wife s I-864 form, and the other friend to joint sponsor on my stepson s affidavit?

5. Which is better, uploading the joint sponsor s affidavit or mailing?

Thank you guys for being my support over the years.
