Minor Child born before I got USC do I need affidavit of support?

[prmiami 14]

Good evening,

I have this question if somebody knows:

The i130 of my 2 minor children were just approved, reafirmed and sent to NVC (TODAY)

I am independent contractor and my personal taxes are just over the edge of the porverty line because I send plenty of money to their country while waiting this process to finish.

Knowing from USCIS website on this link that

Note: An individual listed above does not need to submit an affidavit of support if they can show that they EITHER:

• Already worked 40 qualifying quarters as defined in Title II of the Social Security Act
• Can be credited with 40 qualifying quarters as defined in Title II of the Social Security Act
• Are the child of a U.S. citizen and if admitted for permanent residence on or after February 27, 2001, would automatically acquire citizenship under Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by the Child Citizenship Act of 2000

DO I NEED A JOINT SPONSOR (aka my sister) AND PRESENT AN AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT?

WHAT WOULD NVC REQUIREMENTS TO PROCEED AND SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT AT THE CONSULATE?

Thx in advance!

Topic has been moved from Immigration News and Discussion forum to Bringing Family Members of US citizens to the US forum as a more appropriate location for this discussion.

Disregard,

Just read every forum related to my question.

I only need to fill the I-864W (waiver)

You only need to file I-864W for each of them. Nobody sponsor for them, they will be automatic become US Citizen once entered to the US. You can apply the US Passport for them when they in the USA. All you need are their green card that they will have in about 2 weeks and their birth certificate. If they are under 16 of age, you and other their parent both need to sign on application. If over 16, only one parent need to sign. And you need to bring proof of your citizenship to show them. That's all I did for my daughter
