US Immigration from China

Hi guys/gals. I've searched the forum and found similar topics but still a little confused.

My wife is petitioning for both her parents. She is a stay at home mom so doesn't earn any income for the last 4 years so she has no W2's. We always file taxes married jointly.

1. I assume she files i-864 as the petitioner/sponsor and I have to file i-864a as a joint sponsor?

2. when counting household size, there's my wife, myself, 2 kids. That's 4. Do we add 1 to every application for her mom and/or dad? add 2 to every application?

Any answer would be really appreciated.

I read most of the posts, thank you all for all good inputs and support each other to pass the hard time.

i am EB2 and interviewed on Nov 17, 2021 in Montreal, after interview flagged with DS 5535. and I submit my answers a few days later to the consulate. after pass 60 days, I request my local senator to inquiry my case status, The CO replied them by email and mention to ask me to send my pass passport to the consulate for further process, but I did not receive any email to send the passport , does anyone meet this ?

in addition, NowI work and live in USA , how to send and pick up my passport in USA ? can anyone share his experience ?

thanks !

Hello Everyone,

I have a question for the group on how to present my financial position for AOS- Affidavit of Support.

I m 56 and left my job last year and consider myself retired. It s just me and my new wife.

I really don t want to go get a menial job to satisfy the income requirements,

I do plan on going back to work in the future just not the immediate future.

Here s my financial position:

401K - $430,000 (almost all in cash)

Pension - $180,000 (Today s cash value)

Cash $168,000

1. I could classify myself as unemployed and provide the above information with the bank statements.

Or

2. Classify myself as retired and start drawing enough from my 401K to satisfy the minimum annual income requirement with the bank statements

Pros and Cons? All comments are welcome, Thanks.

Can someone tell me if there is a way to check on your case status online?

My petition is still under review and in process, my U.S. passport is going to expired on November, and I want to renew it because I want to travel back my fiancee country, and assist my fiancee to enter U.S. if everything get approved. If I renewed it, I will get the new passport number, and will it affect the petition progress, and what should I do with USCIS if I renewed my U.S. Passport? Any one has the experience on this circumstance, thank you very much.
