F2A- step by step process

[elkhunter 3]

Hello everyone! I am hoping somebody can help to answer my questions.

My aunt arrives last January 2013 (petitioned by her USC daughter). She then petitioned her son as minor and he is now 20 which is visa availability is now current. Petition was approved July 30, 2013. But my aunt did not work because she is watching her grandkids. Sponsor is not an issue. But my aunt doesn't have any income, and of course no ITR yet. We are aware that even if she has zero income she needs to file her (taxes) zero income or not, but as stated above she just arrived this year. My questions are:

1. Can we attach an explanation letter during NVC process to inform them that she is not working, zero income and no ITR yet which is required on NVC stage? We are a little bit confused how to handle this. We really need your expert opinion or maybe if someone who already has the experience about this type of situation. Co sponsor is not a problem, just on my aunt's part she do not have ITR yet. She needs to fill up her own affidavit of support and separate for Co sponsor is this correct?

2. NVC considered my aunt's son as minor and he is 20 now, is he still required to sign the DS 3032 choice of agent or my aunt will be automatically be the agent?

3. If DS 3032 is required, can he (beneficiary) appoints her sister instead of her mother due to language issues? My aunt is already old and do not speak good English. ( for inquiry purposes only) just in case they need to call to NVC for inquiry.

4. If we are not mistaken, all the process and steps for F2A is the same with the JAMES shortcut/ NVC flow chart with the I-130 / IR category? Please clarify.

Thank you everyone for reading this and we are hoping to hear your feedback. Thank you.

1. Follow the I-864 instructions. Send a signed statement declaring that she had no income and was not required to file tax returns.

2. 20 years old is not a minor. Don't confuse being a minor with being classified as a child for immigration purposes. A minor is a person under age 18. An unmarried daughter or son under age 21 is a child for immigration purposes. Two different things. The 20 years old will need to sign the DS-3032.

3. Anyone can be appointed. Sister is perfectly fine.

4. No idea what you are talking about. Someone else may be able to help you with this.

Good luck.
