I'm a US citizen trying to bring my old parents to US from europe.
Would you guys help me out with just few questions? I already petitioned for both (they are married and living together)

 

  1. Do I need one i-864 for each parent? Or can I use just ONE i-864 for both parents?
     
  2. It says I need to provide Court Records with translation,  Military Records with translation & Police Certificate(s) with translation.   I already have a Criminal records for my parents.    Is this the same as policy records?
     
  3. They haven't been in military. Do I have to have some paper showing they haven't ? Or is not sending anything in an indication that they have not been in military?
     
  4. Do you guys think I can make the payment for the i-864 combined or there has to be 2 checks?

 

Thanks a bunch!!

Each parent's case is a complete separate entity.  Each parent will require an individual I-864 as well as a separate set of all paperwork/evidence.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

It's so weird, when downloading i-864 from: https://www.uscis.gov/i-864
it says at the top right corner on the form that it expires "09/30/2021".  It his normal?  :S

That is the latest edition.

1 and 4. You will need a complete and separate set of petitions and forms for each parent.  However, at the NVC stage you can request to keep their applications together and make 1 payment for Affidavit of Support processing for the two (2) I-864s.  This is because the payment is not for the I-864 itself but for NVC to process the I-864 in the US (it would be free if the embassy processed the I-864).  You will have to pay for each DS-260 because each DS-260 requires payment.

 

 

2.    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Denmark.html

 

Court records if applicable.  For Military, it looks like there is a record you can obtain to show they were registered to the draft board but were not drafted into service.  Police document called “Straffeattest”.

Odd,

 

I thought the OP was petitioning for Denmark, but now the profile states Sweden.

 

Civil docs for Sweden:

You may want to make sure your income/assets are adequate to provide for their health care in the US.  As you know, it is expensive, and they will not be eligible for Medicare.
