Hi everyone,

I cld NVC on this already but just wanted to get other members opinions since we are know the reps are known of giving out misinformation.

1) I'm moving the first week in June but to another apt within the same bldg. Should I complete a I-865 form (Change of Address) or wait until I send in the DS-3032 w/the correct address on it?

2) Also I was looking at the I-864EZ to get familiar with it but I wasn't sure on the household count. I filed for 3 ppl on my 2006 tax return. My husband, my daughter, and myself. Do I need to include my step-son in the household count? I'm going to file for him next year once we get situated.


Thanks in advance.

Anna

Anna,

I-865 does not yet apply to you.

Are you supporting your stepson (is he dependent on you)? Even if you are you probably can't claim him as a tax deduction - read the form instructions with regard to determining household members carefully.

1) How does the I-865 does not apply to me? It's the change of address form?

2) I help support my step-son. No I didn't put him on my tax return or looking for a tax deduction but the forms clearly states I must include all children. It states even if they're not on my tax return, residing w/me, or if I'm not legally obligated. Well, my income is ok regardless if I do claim 3 or 4 in my household. I just don't want this to come back and bite me in the you know what.

Anna,

1. Your I-864 is not yet in effect.

2. Then you have your answer.

I didn't want my DS-3032 with an unknown (= new address for my husband the petitioner) address to be a source of confusion, so my husband faxed his change of address right after our case landed at the NVC and they confirmed the change about 10 days later. Which I thought was very fast and accurate

I got the fax number from the automated phone service message, btw.

Thanks. I will do just that.

1) You don't need to complete I-865, because your spouse is not in the USA yet. In future, you will need to complete I-865 when you move and if your spouse will be in the USA as a permanent resident at that time.

2) Based on your description, you should include your step son in the household count.

So clarify, AFTER my husband arrives in the states and we move I will need to submit the I-865 at that time?? I'm sooo confused!!!

Yes, you got it. He will also need to complete AR-11 (change of address form). You don't need to complete AR-11, since it does not apply to US Citizens. You will only file I-865, should you move after his arrival in USA.

Thank you so much!!!!!
