    Thank you! Yes, I had my husband start filling out the regular I-864 after my last post on this thread. I figured it was better to be safer than sorry with a potential RFE. Thank you for clarifying household size. I read so many things online on how my I-864 would only show 2 people, myself and my husband sponsoring me. And the children's I-864's would only show 3 people - my husband, myself, and the one child. It was beyond me what the logic was for calculating that way and not having all 4 of us in each I-864. Thank you for clarifying that each form SHOULD have a total of 4 after filling in respective boxes depending on principal applicant.

    Ok, I'll put a request in for us to be interviewed together. Thank you!

    Thank you for your input @JeanneAdil. I have a second question too. With regards to our situation above, is the household size going to be 1 - person on this affidavit (spouse) 1 - yourself (sponsor) 2 - dependent children (with their own CR2's in process simultaneously) 4 - total Do we count the 2 children with CR2's in process under dependent children (they were not claimed during tax filing). And with that, would each child's household size be listed as: 1 - person on this affidavit (child with CR2) 1 - yourself (sponsor) 1 - spouse (CR1) 1 - dependent children (second child with CR2) 4 - total ?? I am getting confused. I am going to take the liberty of asking @pushbrk for his very clear and direct input! Stepchildren. They're both under 10.

    We are 3 people immigrating on separate visa applications - CR1, CR2 x 2 My husband earns above the federal poverty guidelines for a household size of 4 people (if you include us 3 and him). So no need for joint sponsor. Does he qualify for the I-864EZ? I am getting mixed responses on whether or not we qualify because of the stepchildren immigrating too. I thought the rule was he can't if he's sponsoring derivatives immigrating together, but they are not derivatives. We each have our own individual cases going on at the NVC stage.

    @Crazy Cat We only had to pay one AOS fee. When on the payments page in the CEAC portal it automatically said at the bottom '1 AOS fee for 3 related cases' - I am assuming we are already linked? When the payment was processed under the one account, all 3 accounts automatically showed as payments in process for AOS. Still waiting for the payment to show up as paid though. I've been wondering if the actual I-864 form will need to be filled 3 times or just once then, if they only took one payment for all 3 of us? I guess time will tell. I'd always been told we need to pay 3 AOS fees so we're already surprised they applied the single fee to all 3 of us automatically.

    I don't think there's any originals per se. The 'original' is digitized. You get to print copies of the original online.

    Thank you! this is very helpful.

    My spouse filed his 2024 tax return on the weekend. The IRS website where you grab the transcripts from shows it still under process. From what I read online, it can take a few weeks for the transcript to become available. Do we wait for this transcript to submit our documents for I-864 or should we just include transcripts for 2023,2022,2021 instead and take the 2024 one with me to the interview?

    I was under the impression we had to show proof of relationship for the DS-260 part of the CR1/IR1 visa process too, but in the required documents they haven't asked for anything other than official civil documents. Should I be uploading things like evidence of visits made to see each other/pictures/chat snapshots etc to the DS-260 application under 'Other' documents category? For the kids CR2 applications all they've asked for is the passport and their birth certificate - is that really all I need to upload for their DS-260's???

    Also, am I supposed to check the box 'did anyone help you fill in this application?' for the kids DS-260's? And list myself as the 'prepare'? I see conflicting information on this online. And as for the signature on the kids forms, do I sign with my own?
  19. Cookie88
    For the benefit of any lurkers reading this now or later, I have reluctantly answered 'no' to the two questions about the kids immigrating with me / joining me later. I asked a lawyer and he also said this is only a yes for derivatives. I say reluctantly because they could be a bit clearer in their choice of words, or at least have a 'not applicable' checkbox for IR2/CR2 applicants if they don't want to change their verbiage for whatever reason. Thank you @Crazy Cat!

    Thank you for the detailed clarification! I am still filling in DS-260 so not quite there with this part yet, but wanted to know in case I run into the same issue. The CEAC portal overall has been very glitchy so far in many matters.
  21. Cookie88
    Thanks. I wish they would be clearer in their wording in what they are asking. The children are immigrating with me. If this is solely for who is included within this application, if I click 'No' it then populates a new question and asks 'Is the child immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?'. I would then have to say 'No' to that too technically if my first response is going off of derivatives. It doesn't say anywhere 'immigrating with you' means on the same application only. It's so confusing.
  22. Cookie88
    I am confused on how to answer this as I am a CR1 and kids are CR2. They are not derivatives. One place online said if they are not derivatives you have to answer no to the DS-260 question "Is this child immigrating to the U.S with you?". I want to double check on here how accurate that is? Because the kids ARE immigrating with me, even if they're under their own individual case numbers?!
