Hey Guys! I am waiting for NVC to provide me a case number, but in the mean time I want to get started getting all other paper work ready.A family relative (who is not a member of my household) will help me in spoing my wife's Affidavit of Support. I will be needing his assitance because I don't meet the financial guide lines.I undestand that my relative will have to file a separate I-864, but I don't know what to check on both mine and his I-864 for  Part 1 of the application. Thanks once again for all the assistance you all provide. I will put the link to th I-864 application below so you guys have faster access to what I'm inquiring about.

You would check a. (i am the petitioner) for yours.

You would check d. (i am the only joint sponsor) for your family relative who is joint sponsoring. (as long as he/she is the only joint sponsor)

If you need more help with the form just ask!

Thank you for the response. Another question that just came to me was, I am considering changing employers very soon. Would you recommend me changing employment now or should I wait for my wife to have her interview. The reason I ask is because I was told that NVC look into the petitioner having a stable jobs. Thanks again.

I can't give you a definite answer on that situation, but maybe someone else here has experience with job changes while a petition is pending. All I can say is that I doubt US Immigration would frown upon a petitioner who accepts a job offer that is a higher paying salary and has more room for advancement within the company.

The time at which you change employers is up to you. Should you choose to change employers between the time the I-864 is submitted to the NVC and the time of your wife's interview, your wife will need to bring an updated I-864 to the interview reflecting said changes.
