Many people on here saying you are not obligated to support her are wrong. There are many cases across the US where attorney's have helped sponsored Permanent Residents receive Poverty guidelines support by taking the I-864 to court in support of the PR. The USC ends up paying at least minimum poverty, if not, even more than the minimum. The attorney's have found a loophole in the system to sue the USC.

If he bought and sold the house while married to his ex, he could've been held responsible to give his ex 1/2 of the profit from the sale of the house, or as he said more than $1 mil. profit.

This is the same Incomes that I have entered on my I-864 and submitted on 6/18/2023. I'm hoping that we don't receive that same message too. I guess I could add savings, amounting to around $105k, if additional evidence would be used. We are going through Manila as well. I have no joint sponsor available to me.

It should be still free. If you try it, I would suggest you look for ladies to talk with first and if you find a special girl with the personality you like, eventually you could go to meet her. You may either have a few girls at least to meet or if the one you go to meet doesn't work out, then you have to go on your own there. Another avenue, if you're short on time, there is a US based company that has offices in Cebu City and Davao City that set up social events where there are around 10-1 females to men, if that's your thing and you end up with no other options.

I met my wife on Dateinasia 5 years ago, went to visit her and travel around the Philippines for 30 days. I was already planning on moving there in 2-3 months though. When I had met her online, I really noticed the personality connection. She was actually in the process of becoming an OFW, like her sister had done. I just asked her to wait for me to come visit her first, which she did. I ended up moving to the Philippines, 2.5 months later, rented a house for 3 months in her town, and then travelled with her to Cebu and decided to move there. Went back to her town, just out of Manila, picked up her son to move to Cebu City. We lived there for about 2 years. Then I decided I needed to get back to the US for medical reasons, also there were too many distractions living in the Philippines for me. Less than a year later, I asked her to marry me. We got married online1.5 years ago and am now at the NVC stage waiting for DQ and an interview. It really helped me coming back to the US, realizing what I had found in her. She was so easy to live with, we have great memories together and our personalities just work. I had made mistakes in past relationships, but definitely knew what type of person I was looking for in her. Her personality is so fun to enjoy life with! I had been previously married to a different Filipina, I met on Cherry Blossoms before, that I brought to the US on a fiancé Visa, but was definitely a mistake not really getting to know her first. Dateinasia was actually a free site for both men and women alike, if interested.

Wow, you've been through a lot. I'm still at the NVC stage waiting now and will be going a similar situation using my SSDI, luckily I have extra income and everything will be accepted. I'm just curious, If you've been going to the embassy interview's with your wife?

Wow, I guess so.

Why would the children get $1250 each per month benefits? What is that for?

Thanks for this! Hopefully nothing else is needed. Child is 13 yo.

Thanks, he is 13 and Police Cert required for 15 or 16 yo I believe. Bio father was from another country and bailed on Mother. Never listed on B.C. No idea where he is.

I've already submitted documents for Immigrating Spouse's I-864 and DS-260, which documents are needed to submit for Stepchild for DS-260? I've already uploaded his I-864. What other documents are required for an immigrating child with Mother? I know I need to Submit: 1. Passport Bio Page 2. Birth Certificate 3. Passport Photo 4. ????? 5. ????? 6. ????? 7. ????? I've already read the NVC's page, but don't see anything else than what I've already uploaded above. Am I missing anything?

Thank you, yes I've already seen those requirements, but anything else than what I've shown above? The father of the child was never recognized at birth because he bailed and wanted nothing to do with the child. He's not listed on B.C. and probably not in country.

Thank you so much for answering my questions in detail. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for answering my question.

Hello, did you have to file separate I-130's and I-864's on all of them? If so, how was the family size computed for them on page 4, step 5, 1-8? Did you have to submit this on all of the step-children? What about supporting evidence? Thanks for any advice!

I married another pinay as well in late 2021 and am petitioning her and her son to the US. But this time I lived with her first in the Philippines for over 2 years and got to know her really well before coming back to the US, then marrying her online during covid. She's a wonderful lady, has had a difficult life, with lots of up and downs, but has stayed grounded. She was ok with me staying in the Philippines or coming to the US. I tried living there after selling all of my US possessions, but it just wasn't for me, especially for the medical care, which I need here in the US.

I've been through an almost similar situation, I visited a pinay 3 times prior to bringing her to the US on a fiancé Visa. I had 2nd thoughts (red flags) though at every critical time though, something just didn't seem right. I visited her each time for 3-5 weeks at a time. Her family, Mother mainly, kept pushing her to get me to buy property, which I didn't, luckily. I did buy them a side car for the brother's tricycle though, and helped with a small side business, which wasn't much and eventually failed. We twice stayed in her province in Mindanao and the the last time in Manila to get her through the interview. I kept seeing little problems in Manila though, where I seen her temper come out on occasion. At the interview, I kept going back and forth with my thoughts if I wanted everything to go through or not. I almost decided to tell the immigration officer to just cancel the petition but instead decided to go through with it anyways which ended up being a big mistake in the long run. This was strike #1. Then she came to the US, times were sometimes good and sometimes we had problems. Her Mom kept asking for her to send money, which at that time, she wasn't working. I didn't mind helping out some though as I knew she needed to help. Her father had been and is still living in the US for 20 years and not helping out much at all. I seen similar issues as when in the Philippines with her, but between 2-3 months decided to marry, because of all of the time and money spent to that point.This was strike #2. After green card things starting getting worse, she started working, would start buying Gucci, Louis Vuitton and always showing off to others, taking pictures all of the time, kind of like bragging about all of her things, all while never helping out with any of the home finances or anything. Eventually, I decided to buy a house, which she was a good housewife, excellent cook and all. Things were going ok, though little ups and down with anger times, especially when drinking. She would drink especially late at night and got meaner and meaner as the night went on. Eventually fearing for my life after not wanting to do anything with her sexually. I started pouring alcohol down the drain, wasting money as well. This was strike #3 She was working as a caregiver for her Aunt's husband's mother making great money at this point. After awhile, I couldn't take it anymore and planned on getting out through divorce. I had to split the profit of the house with her at this point, she ended up with $28,500 cash, me paying for her taking a CNA course and I ended it. All of her money was gone in 8 or 10 weeks. She visited the Philippines having parties, came back to the US, buying more new purses which later, ended up getting stolen. I also didn't mention taking her on a cruise, buying her fancy jewelry earlier. All of this jewelry, along with her expensive wedding set she had pawned twice and I had to eventually save from losing, the last time I kept everything. She had no emotional ties to her wedding rings. After our divorce in 2015, she started having seizures, and in 2020 was diagnosed with a tumor in her brain, stage 3 cancer, she's had 2 surgeries since. She is living with a guy, back to work part-time. She told me recently that if not for me bringing her to the US, she would now be dead. Now for the important part, which I just found out a couple of weeks ago. When talking with her, I figured out that she has worked about 30 quarters, give or take a few. I watched a video a couple of weeks ago from an attorney coaching immigrants about their rights, in case of divorce, that the US citizen sponsor is responsible for around $1400 per month of back support if they were low income or out of work at any time up until she becomes a US citizen, dies, loses her GC status or works for 40 quarters. I had thought I would only become liable if she became a public charge and had to repay the government, which is not true. There's a little loophole that these attorney's have found to make money off of the sponsors. She now has an attorney, which is going to help her with her citizenship paperwork which also advised her about the money she could get from me. Which she told me she wouldn't seek. Hopefully she's telling me the truth. I would advise the OP to seriously consider what he's doing before the leap!

What I'm wondering if I listed the questionnaire correctly in answering 1-8 on wife's and stepson's I-864? Wife's DS-260: 1. 1 Wife 2. 1 Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 total dependents On Stepson's DS-260: 1. 1 Stepson 2. 1. Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 Total dependents

What I'm wondering if I listed the questionnaire correctly in answering 1-8 on wife's and stepson's I-864?

The Ex-wife I have to include since she only has around 30 quarters of taxable work in the US, I believe.

I meant to say, on I-864 Part 5, family size, instead of DS-260!

Hello, if an I-130 and separate I-864's, On Part 5 on the I-864, how do you add up the family size on each form? Wife's DS-260: 1. 1 Wife 2. 1 Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 total dependents On Stepson's DS-260: 1. 1 Wife 2. 1. Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 Total dependents Does anyone know if this is the correct way to file this?
