MY SON ... I 864 OR I-864W

[kkkcartoons 0]

I am filing my son's petition to come here to the United States. He is currently in the Philippines living with my parents and we are almost near our interview date (fingers crossed!) Our petition is already with the NVC and I have already paid the IV fee bill. The next step is to file the Affidavit of support. The most important question I need to ask if any of you can help is DO I USE THE I-864W OR THE I-864? I, his mother, is the USC even at the time of my sons birth and he will be living with me obviously. I think he is qualified for the The Child Citizenship Act of 2000. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

I filed for my daughter who is 2 years old too...I was not sure which one will be required at the NVC stage for the AOS .So what i did is fill out both the I864 AND I 864 W.But from reading in other thread and from talking to a friend of mine who filed for his 5 year old son a year ago, he first submitted the I 864 and NVC later gave him and RFE that they need the I 864 W instead.He sent the I 864 W then and everything went well thereafter

You submit an I-864W. Your son will become a US citizen by action of law when he is admitted to the US for permanent residence. He is therefore exempt from the affidavit of support requirement.

JIMVAPHUONG IS RIGHT! YOU ONLY NEED THE I-864W WHY???

I-864W, Intending Immigrant's Affidavit of Support Exemption

Intending immigrant is a child who will become a U.S.citizen immediately upon entry under the ChildCitizenship Act of 2000 (CCA).

Under the CCA, somechildren become U.S. citizens immediately upon admissionto the United States or adjustment of status to that of alawful permanent resident.

For this classification to apply:

-At least one parent of the child is a U.S. citizen.

-The child is under 18 years of age at the time ofadmission or adjustment of status.

I HAVE A 5 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER AND WE GOTTA NEED TO FILE THE SAME FORM. SHE/HE DONT NEED AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
