[Tina.Benoy 2]

its worth a try...Im expecting it to be denied, but who cares? If it is, I am in the same place as before...no harm done

That's the exact same reason I sent the expedite email to NVC! It's worth a try!

So yesterday I sent an email to NVC asking them about my case & this is what they had to say. So NVC has washed its hand off my case, now waiting for the Counsulate to contact me. As per DHL tracking website, our case file is still in transit. It should reach Madras on 9th or 10th

I would send the DS-3032 again. If they received it via email but hadn't generated it yet... they may have deleted the email. Same thing happened to me; I sent my ds-3032 (email) before they generated the DS-3032 and I never heard anything. As soon as I paid my AOS fees, I re-sent the ds-3032 and they accepted it on the next business day.

I am being very restless. When will IV bill get generated? Is it after acceptance of Ds 3032? Thanks

If your cousin and/or uncle live with you OR can be claimed as a dependant... then they will be CO-sponsor and use I-864A. If not... then they are JOINT and will use I-864.

If your income alone is not sufficient to meet the requirement for your household size, the intending immigrant will be ineligible for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, unless the requirement can be met using any combination of the following:

• Income from any relatives or dependents living in your household or dependents listed on your most recent Federal tax return who signed a Form I-864A;
• Income from the intending immigrant, if that income will continue from the same source after immigration, and if the intending immigrant is currently living in your residence. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be counted regardless of current residence, but it must continue from the same source after he or she becomes a lawful permanent resident.
• The value of your assets, the assets of any household member who has signed a Form I-864A, or the assets of the intending immigrant;
• A joint sponsor whose income and/or assets equal at least 125 percent of the Poverty Guidelines. See question below for more information on joint sponsors.
  If the person who is seeking the immigration of one or more of his or her relatives cannot meet the income requirements, a "joint sponsor" who can meet the requirements may submit a Form I-864 to sponsor all or some of the family members.

A joint sponsor can be any U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident who is at least 18 years old, domiciled in the United States, or its territories or possessions, and willing to be held jointly liable with the petitioner for the support of the intending immigrant. A joint sponsor does not have to be related to the petitioning sponsor or the intending immigrant.

If the first joint sponsor completes Form I-864 for some rather than all the family members, a second qualifying joint sponsor will be required to sponsor the remaining family members. There may be no more than two joint sponsors. A joint sponsor must be able to meet the income requirements for all the persons he or she is sponsoring without combining resources with the petitioning sponsor or a second joint sponsor. Any dependents applying for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status more than six months after immigration of the intending immigrants must be sponsored by the petitioner but may be sponsored by an original joint sponsor or a different joint sponsor.

The I-864A is used for relatives and dependants that live in the same household as the sponsor.

• You may use the income of your spouse and/or any other relatives living in your residence if they are willing to be jointly responsible with you for the intending immigrant(s) you are sponsoring. If you have any unrelated dependents listed on your income tax return you may include their income regardless of where they reside.
• The income of such household members and dependents can be used to help you meet the income requirements if they complete and sign Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, and if they are at least 18 years of age when they sign the form.

Thanks...

I'm sorry Erick but i don't think you're right

please read the forms instructions http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864ainstr.pdf "who may be considered a household member"

1. this person must be related to you as a spouse (which is unlikely since your spouse is the immigrant), adult child, parent or sibling in the same house

OR

2. a relative that you claimed on your taxes even if you don't share the same address

OR

3. the immigrant (your spouse)

so unless you claimed your uncle or cousin on your taxes they must fill out an i864 (NOT A)

just because two adults that are blood related live in the same household doesn't make them tax related. Only immediate family is tax family lol.
