I-864 (child to follow)

"How Long Does My Obligationas a Sponsor Continue?

You must submit a Form I-864 affidavit of support for each intending immigrant you are sponsoring. You may submit photocopies if you are sponsoring more than one intending immigrant listed on the same affidavit of support. Separate affidavits of support are required for intending immigrants for whom different Form I-130 family-based petitions were filed. For instance, if you are sponsoring both parents, each will need an original affidavit of support and accompanying documentation since you were required to submit separate Form I-130 visa petitions for each parent.

Do I Need to Submit a Separate Affidavit for Each Family Member?

Form I-864 Instructions (Rev. 10/18/07) Page 4

Often a spouse or minor children obtain visas or adjust status as dependents of a relative, based on the same visa petition. If you are sponsoring such dependents, you only need to provide a photocopy of the original Form I-864, as long as these dependents are immigrating at the same time as the principal immigrant or within six months of the time he or she immigrates to the United States. You do not need to provide copies of the supporting documents for each of the photocopied Forms I-864."

If I understand correctly, I am required to provide an original, completed I-864 form plus a photocopy of the aforementioned form for the K2 child to follow within six months. Am I missing something or is this just another example of useless, duplicate immigration paperwork

If anyone can think of anything else in OAS package that relates to a child to follow, please chime in, by all means.

You are correct - follow the instructions and you should be ok.
