DS-230 & I-864 Questions

Hi All,

I need your help in answering Question 14 of the DS-230 form and Question 12/13 of Part 4 of the I-864 form.

I am the petitioner, USC, and in China. Got approval that our marriage status is IR-1 after the petition was successful.

We also received package 3.

DS-230 - Question 14:

Name of spouse, etc.

My question here is that, should she put me under this area?

The confusion is that Question 21 (a and B) refer to this part, who will accompany my wife now or at a later time.

Of course I will accompany my wife to the US, but not as an immigrant, as I understand it.

I-864 - Part 4: Question 12/13

Address Issues

I have been working in China for the past 5 years, and so must re-establish my US residence (no problem here).

For question 12, do I put where I presently live (that is, China) or my father's address in the US?

Thanks in advance for your answers and quick replies.

Valen & Jenna

Actually, I figured out the answer to the DS-230 question. I will put my name but for question 21(a) the answer will be none.

Still need an answer for the I-864.

Thanks.

Thanks coolgt! :thumbs:

I was deciding to do that. Since, I cannot use my foreign earned income, I am

waiting for my brother-in-law's I-864 as joint sponsor; also, a letter from my father

stating he would like us to live at his residence. Does my I-864 need to be notarized?

Thanks again!

At this point, from reading all over the internet, do anything and everything legally and honestly that

wouldn't hurt the approval process. :dance:
