Hey! I have the same situation , my husband is petitioning me with adjustment of status , we live with his uncle that is also gonna be my joint sponsor (as my husband was unemployed) , the same uncle included my husband as a dependent last year … so he needs to fill 2 I-864 or I-864a? The instructions of I-864a doesn’t mention an uncle as a household member and says it has to be a dependent of the sponsor, in this case is the opposite , the sponsor is dependent of the uncle . What did you do?

Yes to all that you said , thank you so much that’s what I’d do !

My husband birth certificate, my son’s birth certificate translated,my sons foreign passport with the I-551 .. I went with the marriage certificate too, the problem is that it was at USPS, the lady took a lot of photocopies but the originals she said weren’t necessary.. the only original document she took was the birth certificate

Sincerely, Customer Service Department Enclosure(s): DS-5507 sorry for all the long message Mike but as you can see they are asking for a DS 5507 form of physical presence of my husband (the US FATHER) and has to be sign by a passport specialist (I asume an USPS officer can) … this I don’t understand because my son entered with an IR2 visa permanent residence and in the embassy they told us as soon he put his feet in US he will be a citizen , because he is under 18 , a permanent resident and the son of a natural born US citizen father… I will really appreciate your help please ! thanks !

Hello! I just got the same letter for my child!!! The DS-5507 How did you solved it? Is the usps officer able to sign ??? He doesn’t have the green card, he has the foreign passport with de I-551 Stamp that says he is a permanent resident. also the letter asks for school records, medical records of my son, but he is only 3 years and for that doesn’t go to school or daycares , I take care for him he was admitted as ir2 visa permanent residence through his us citizen father so my husband doesnt have all the requirements for the 5 years physical presence
