Would anyone please be able to confirm that my mother is able to file I-864W based on my situation and based on her being able to use my father's credits? I'm still seeing conflicting reports from people who had had difficulties submitting an 864W even when seemingly eligible. I feel like I'm misunderstanding something. I found some posts from others saying that they submitted a screenshot of an SSA profile page, so I'll do that, but I'm still unsure if marriage proof needs to be submitted to claim credits from a spouse.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but that doesn't answer any of my questions. My father's SSA account shows his 40 quarters, but the statement that can be downloaded doesn't explicitly indicate quarters (it only lists the years and the income for those years). The only way to get evidence that explicitly shows credits is by taking a screenshot of his profile main page that says that he has 40 quarters. The thread that I linked even mentioned that issue. I've read other threads that mentioned only submitting the statements and them not being accepted because nowhere on that paper says anything about credits. And none of that proves marriage because I'm trying to use spousal credits. My mother's SSA page shows nothing because she hasn't worked. That's what I'm trying to figure out and understand what evidence needs to be submitted since it seems like they just default to sending RFEs even for eligible people. The USCIS website says that she can use my father's credits, but it's unclear how to prove this, and past threads have indicated that people have had issues even using their own credits (not a spouse's). Like, I'm I supposed to submit 10 years worth of jointly-filed tax returns? Or is this not possible, what I'm trying to do? One website I saw said that the spouse has to be a USC, but that doesn't seem to be true?

The situation: Me: USC, petitioner Mother: Applicant, was homemaker so no work credits and no benefits used Father: LPR, earned well over 40 credits while married to my mom; no credits were earned while under benefits Has anyone had any success filing I-864W using SSA credits earned by their spouse? From the instructions, it seems like the requirements are: - credits must be earned while married - credits must be earned while not receiving benefits But I've read various threads in the forums indicating that people have had issues in the past despite seemingly being eligible, and it's hard to find info about this form in general. Like, can I still petition even though it's my father's credits that have to be used? And if so, is it okay that he was a LPR and not a USC at the time? This thread is almost identical to our situation since its about using spouse credits earned while both were with green cards and their petitioner is also their child, and it seems like they had success but only after fighting the officers they spoke to, which I'd obviously like to avoid. The USCIS website just says that the evidence required includes "SSA forms" which isn't helpful (the SSA statement that can be downloaded doesn't even explicitly state credits), so should other evidence be provided instead? Because anything on the SSA website also doesn't prove marriage. Or am I completely misunderstanding everything?

Sorry for putting the thread in the wrong section, and thank you for moving it. And thank you very much for the info. I came across form I-864W, and I'm unsure if my mother is applicable. Do you know if she's able to claim my father's work credits? He has enough work credits, but I'm unsure if the fact that they were both permanent residents at the time disqualifies her.

This situation is about a change in circumstances, not using a B2 visa with the intent to immigrate. The situation is: Father: Permanent resident Mother: Previously a permanent resident, abandoned green card to live overseas for a few years, now here on a B1/B2 visa with her duration of stay expiring in December Me: US citizen In June, my mother traveled to the US on a B1/B2 visa and in that time, my father was diagnosed with severe health problems, so she has decided to apply for a green card again to live here with him. However, her duration of stay is up in December, and it's not safe to leave him alone, so she wants to stay here and not have to fly back. My understanding is that since I'm a US citizen, if I petition for her/do concurrent filling so that the I-485 is in progress ASAP, the overstay will be forgiven, but I really don't want the legal obligation that comes with being a sponsor for personal reasons. I'd rather that my father be the petitioner/sponsor. If my father is the petitioner/sponsor, is her overstay still forgiven? Or is there anything else that can/should be done that can keep my mother here safely? Also, when submitting the forms, should we submit a statement/proof that she intended to return originally? Or is that something that will be explained later (like in the interview)?
