Hello everyone, I just read that when you are petitioning multiple people and in my case , my wife and two kids- I have to send form i864 for EACH one of them. I just sent one AOS package for all of them. Any idea on how I can fix this screwup pretty quick? Thanks

You have submit separate I 864's for each of them if they are separate cases. They will just send you a checklist requesting the additional affidavits. You can contact the NVC to see if you could send it in before they realize they're missing, since it may take longer if you wait. Also based on your profile, you are a USC right? If so, are these your biological children? If they are your biological children, they would need the I864W because they would be exempt from the public charge determination as they would become citizens upon entry as LPR's. If they are your stepchildren they each would need the separate affidavits with separate supporting documentation.

This does not constitute legal advice.

Thanks! This sucks because it read the guide multiple times and somehow missed the part about sending an aos package for each one of the,. I'm gonna call nvc tonight and see what they gonna suggest.

I am the biological father of the kids but I was not a USC when they were born that's why I don't think the i864w applies to us. Thank you very much and I really appreciate it.

What do you mean"separate case" ? All I know is that they have their own different case numbers but nvc put them together on one invoice so I can just pay $88 aos fee for all of them

Yes, you only pay one fee. The affidavits would be one for each.

This is why I asked. As a USC, your children would become USC's upon entry to the US as LPR's. Technically they would be LPR's for about a second. You would then be able to apply for a US passport or certificate of citizenship. I would just get the passport since the cert of citizenship isn't necessary. As long as the requirements are met before the children turn 18, they would be USC's upon entry and would need an I 864W. Here is the link with info:

So just to sum up, you need the I 864 for your wife with supporting docs, which you already sent in. The fee is only paid once for all three cases. And you need an I 864W for each child if they are under 18. If they are over 18, they will need separate I 864's and supporting docs.
