US Immigration from Nepal

I'm a US citizen sponsoring my brother and his family (wife and kid who's 8 years old). I filed for their greencard a while back but only filled out one form I-130 and got the approval. Form has my brother's wife listed as wife. The priority date on their document is current, so I'm going through the process of submitting necessary document at CEAC. However, as I'm reading on the process, I ran across google search that says I need to have a separate Form I-130 for my brother and a separate Form for his wife and kid. Is that true? They're being sponsored as F4 category.

Hi everyone,

I'm a US citizen and petitioned for my brother and his family (residing outside of US) with a Priority Date of "Aug 2008" under F4 category. On the US Visa Bulletin website, it shows that the "DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS" for F4 category is 08SEP08.

Based on my reading, the Visa isn't available until the Priority Date is current on Final Action Date, but trying to understand what it means by "you can submit necessary paperwork" if the priority date is current within "Dates for Filing". So, can someone please help me get clarification on the following question if the date is current on "Date for Filing":

• can I start submitting necessary paperwork now or do I've to wait till I get further instruction from NVC
• if I can submit paperwork, is it DS 260 with supporting document and visa fee?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards

Situation: Husband (USC Petitioner) recently laid off from job just before I-130 approval (Consular processing). Tax receipts of last 3 years show sufficient income, but due to current $0 income, we would have to use a joint sponsor to meet requirements for the NVC (any other option suggestions are welcome).

Reason: It can be expected that he will get a decent job by the time the interview is scheduled at the consulate (which will probably take at least 5 months). We really do not want to put this legal burden our joint sponsor if we can help it.

Question: Is it possible to update the Affidavit of Support (I-864) to withdraw our joint sponsor after documents are approved by NVC and just before scheduled consular interview, and make the petitioner the sole sponsor for the immigrant? Could it negatively impact the visa approval?

Following is only information we have been able to find on this through official sources:

Hello VisaJourney Community,

We are filing our I-751 soon as the 90 days mark is coming up for our case.

A short context about our living situation:

After my spouse arrived to the US, we lived together in my parents house. This is the address we used in all of our previous forms with USCIS.
We briefly moved out in January of 2024 with a 6-month lease. Then, we moved back to our parents house after our lease ended, because we wanted to save money for a house together and wanted to spend some time together before they moved to a different state.

In January, they made the move and we had to make a quick decision. Thankfully, one of our family friends let us live with them as paying guests. We moved in February and are responsible for a portion of their rent and utilities. The utilities only have one person s name on the account (my spouse s) because that s the only way we could set it up. Our bank statement, the car insurance, and other relevant documents have our current address.

So, as for the evidence of cohabitation, I can share about my time at my parents house and the lease agreement from our short rental.

My question is: how can we prove our cohabitation for the current address? We don t have a rental agreement as we are paying guests. If we asked our family friend to write a letter, what could we ask him to include in it to prove our cohabitation?

Thank you,

parami
