Those actually give you no legal status in the US. A visa or Green Card would. Let us know what you find out.

The correct answer is a total of "4"...based on the I-864 instructions as stated by @Dashinka. Always comply with actual form instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf Part 5. Sponsor’s Household Size Item Number 4. Type or print the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children. You may exclude any unmarried children under 21 years of age, if these children have reached majority under the law of their place of domicile and you do not claim them as dependents on your Federal income tax returns. Type or print “0” if you already counted your dependent children in Item Number 1.

This happens from time to time. Your fingerprints are probably unclear. I wouldn't worry about it. Our experience with biometrics is that it was a fast process.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html IV Scheduling Status Tool The Immigrant Visa (IV) Scheduling Status Tool gives you an idea of when you might expect to hear from us about your immigrant visa interview. The tool’s results show when the National Visa Center (NVC) is scheduling interviews at a specific U.S. embassy or consulate. Interviews are scheduled based on the date that NVC determines you have paid the necessary fees and submitted all required documents. (This is referred to as the date the case became “documentarily complete”.) Interviews can only be scheduled if a visa is available. For preference visa cases, visa availability may be found in the monthly Visa Bulletin. Scheduling Status by Post Check the current scheduling status for immigrant visa applications, updated monthly.

I am of the Stephen Miller mindset regarding due process. He says that due process is in the Constitution to protect citizens from their government. There is no protection for foreign invaders. It seems to me that illegals who ignore due process when entering or staying in the US unlawfully should forfeit any due process when being deported.

I am back again. All seems normal now with no VPN. Thank you, @Captain Ewok!!!

I have never seen it, but desperate times call for desperate measures. The other option is as mentioned above by @appleblossom.

The path of least resistance is to find another joint sponsor. You could write a letter to NVC. However, the chances of that working are unknown. Has the I-864 been accepted or rejected? If NVC schedules an interview, the Consulate Officer will be the sole approval authority for the visa. He/she can either accept the I-864 without an I-864a...or he/she could demand one. As I said, the easiest path is to find another joint sponsor.....or convince the spouse to sign the I-864a.

Done. So far, this morning, I am connected to VJ without a VPN. Thanks.

Just verified again. I must connect through a VPN. I'll be back early tomorrow morning US Central time.

IP: 24.153.212.131 is my non-VPN IP if that helps.

Update: Problem recurred.......Back on VPN to connect. Verified that, without VPN, could not connect......reconnected VPN, and I'm back.

I don't see it as a big deal. I would send the one I have right now. I don't think you will get an RFE.

Just disconnected my VPN, and can now connect without issues. I will try a few more times. Thanks for looking into this.

Unless the error makes the marriage certificate invalid, send it. What exactly is the problem? Spelling?

My thoughts, too.

Citizens are not being denied entry or deported. Have a nice trip.

1. A divorce does not change your obligations under an I-864. You will be obligated until either she becomes a US citizen, or she has accrued 40 quarters of work credit, or has lost her status as a legal resident, or she has died. 2. The I-864 is a contract between the sponsor and the US government to re-imburse for certain public benefits. I-864s have also been used by family court judges in divorce cases.

OK. Thanks. Keep us updated. I hope that letter works for you.

Did you submit a letter? If so, where did you send it? All I-765s are processed at NBC (MSC).

Good idea, but not the same issue. I just verified by clearing all my cookies. Thanks.
