My brother and his wife have agreed to sign for my husband and step-daughter as joint sponsor and household member of joint sponsor.

We are currently filling out the required I864 and I864a for the RFE.

My husband received his NOA for the I-485 AOS and his NOA for the I765 EAD in one page each, with his original A# that was issued to him from the beginning in France, and a USCIS Online Account Number.

This same A# is listed on his biometrics document.

In contrast, my step daughter received the same, but she received 2 pages for the NOA I485.

One of them has instructions for the online account set up and the other is more of a receipt of funds paid.

Both of the pages for the I485 NOA have the same IOE number, but the receipt form and the EAD have the original A# she received in France.

The instruction page for account access has a different A#, and this second new A# is on her biometrics document as well!

I'm not sure why she has two different A#'s on documents received at the same time, especially when two pages are of the same NOA with two different A#s on them.

Can anyone tell me: Which A # do I use for her when filling out the joint sponsor forms for the RFE?

Do I use the original one that we filed with that's on one of the two I485 forms (the recepit page NOA form I797C) and the EAD form?

Or do I use the new A# that is on the second I485 form (with the online instructions I797C) and on the biometrics form as well.

The RFE she received has the new A#.

I would think to use the new A#, since it's on the RFE. We are planning to upload the documents for the RFE electronically once we have everything ready to go.

I'm just confused as to why 1. there is a new A number and 2. Why isn't the new number on the EAD as well?

Has anyone else experienced this with K2 Visa holders at this point in the process?

For reference: we sent in both the I484, I 864, and I765 for both of them in the same package all together (with tabs to keep the two applicants separate.)

Also, there's no A number listed on her USCIS online account home page, but the RFE document linked has the new number.

Also, concerning EAD timelines, does anyone know if the ETA for decision will shorten once the joint sponsor docs are accepted into the file? It's currently listed as 7 months.

Lastly, I did this back in the middle of Nursing school crunch time and everything feels a bit overwhelming atm.

So forgive me, but I'm just asking for a refreshing reminder... If memory serves correctly,

Do I fill these forms out once for my husband and then just make a copy for my step-daughters file?

I can't remember but I think that's what I did because I she is listed under him on the I864.

TIA!

Wondering if someone here has moved to the U.S. and had kid(s) and then went back without spouse and kid(s)? or if you moved back without spouse but with the kid(s)?

How did you handle the cross-country child custody/visitation? Please share your experience and any advice.

I paid the immigration fee for my mother and even though I entered the A and case numbers as shown on the IR5 visa, the receipt received lists a different case number! Is that just a receipt number or do I have to call USCIS and correct whatever happened?

My mother hasn't travelled to the US yet, but since the consulate interview, I changed my address which is where she will be staying and hopefully receiving the green card.

How can I make sure that the address the card will be mailed to is the correct one and not the old on that was on DS 260?

Thanks.

I am the main petitioner for my husband. My US citizen father will be a joint sponsor. I currently live in the UK with my husband and our child.

When filling out my I-864, when it says about country of domicile would I put in UK and then submit evidence of intent to establish domicile? Such as bank statement from a US account, my state ID and emails to the local school? My father has also signed a letter to say we will be living with him.

If anyone has been in this situation I would appreciate any and all advice please! Thank you
