Hey everyone! i have a question. I am preparing the documents needed for the NVC process, and I am a bit confused with the i864 stuff. my brother in law (who I live with currently) is going to be a co sponsor.

questions 1: Does he need to file the i864 as joint sponsor number one? or does he do the i864a because I live with him? We wont be living with him for long once my husband gets here so what is better?

question 2: can I enter my expected annual income because i have only been working at this job for 6 months. Should i include a letter from work stating my expected annual income?

This stuff is so confusing!

From following the NVC thread, I can say the reply you'll get there will likely be:

Your brother in law fills out an I-864 as a co-sponsor. It's my understanding that the term 'household' reflects not who just currently lives in the same space, but who is filing taxes which include you... and I doubt he claims you as a dependent on his taxes or vice versa.

As for your income, current income is what you anticipate for this year using your current earnings and calculating what you will make for the entire year.

But please do feel free to ask the same questions in the NVC thread which is now your 'life line', and especially study the first 2 posts of the thread:

I think it would be a great idea since our thread seem to be deserted.

I started one this morning and just called it Nebraska Service Center, it was targeted to May, June and July filers stuck in NBSC.

Go ahead ans start tthread with the title you mentioned. I think it will catch some attention

Does anyone know a phone number to call CSC?

Couldn't find a number, but found this:

USCIS Service Centers

If you contacted the National Customer Service Center with a case-related inquiry and more than 30 days have passed and you have not received a response, you may email the appropriate USCIS Service Center with your inquiry:

If you do not receive a response within 21 days of contacting the Service Center, you may contact the USCIS Headquarters Office of Service Center Operations by email at SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov.
