I-864 Part 1 Question 1

[njrichardson 0]

Maybe I am way over thinking this...but none of the options on part 1, question 1 of the I-864 seem to be fit for me. I am the petitioner, but i have not filled a I-130. Me and my fiance are going the I-129F route and we are at the step where they sent him a piece of paper with links online with checklists (package #3). One of the things they asked for was this, to have the petitioner (me, US citizen) fill it out. Here are the options they give:

• Check box "a" if you are the petitioner who is filing or who has already filed Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative;Form I-600, Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative; or Form I-600A, Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. If you are the petitioner, you must sponsor each intending immigrant.
  I am the petitioner, we are using the I-129F Finance visa.
  

• Check box "b" if you are filing or have filed Form I-140,Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, for your husband, wife,father, mother, child, adult son or daughter, brother, or sister.
  This doesnt apply to us either. We arent married, nor have we filed a I-140.
  

• Check box "c" if you have an ownership interest of at least five percent in a business, corporation or other entity that filedor is filing a Form I-140 for your husband, wife, father,mother, child, adult son or daughter, brother, or sister.
  This does not apply to us.
  

• Check box "d" if you are the only joint sponsor or box "e" if you are either of two joint sponsors. A joint sponsor must be a person, and may not be a corporation, organization, or other entity. A joint sponsor does not have to be related to the intending immigrant. Indicate whether you are the only joint sponsor or one of two joint sponsors. Check with the petitioning sponsor or the intending immigrant if you are not certain.
  I am the ONLY sponsor. We arent using joint, or co-sponsors. This doesnt apply to us either.
  

• Check box "f" if you are the substitute sponsor. A substitute sponsor is a sponsor who is completing a Form I-864 on behalf of an intending immigrant whose original Form I-130petitioner has died after the Form I-130 was approved, but before the intending immigrant obtained permanent residence. The substitute sponsor must be related to the intending immigrant in one of the following ways: spouse,parent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sibling, child (at least 18years of age), son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandparent, grandchild or legal guardian. The substitute sponsor must also be a U.S. citizenor lawful permanent resident. If you are a substitute sponsor,you must sponsor each intending immigrant.
  I am the ONLY sponsor. We dont have a substitute. This doesnt apply to us either.
  

...this is only question one...this form ought to be real fun....

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

Fiance(e) I-129F petitioners fill out the I-134, not the I-864.

You won't fill out the I-864 until you apply for adjustment of status for the beneficiary.

Thank you for responding. At what point do they let me know I need to fill out the I-134? Do they sent me something in the mail? He has received his packet 3 with links to things he'll need.

Hi,

I'm moving your topic from the US Embassy and Consulate Discussion forum to the K1 forum, you should get more help there.

Strange this was moved from the correct forum to the wrong forum but so be it. NOW is the time to send your beneficiary the I-134 and supporting documents. Doesn't it say so in the instruction packet. It helps to read these things.

Thank you all for the responses. I am still wondering the original question, in which about question 1 in part 1. It may be good to know this anyhow for the future.

Thank you all.

The answer is (a). You are the petitioner and you are filing for Petition of Alien Relative.

The instruction section reads a little confusing.

Once you are married your spouse is your Alien Relative.
