US Immigration from Philippines

My sister, a household member, has agreed to be a joint sponsor with me, however I'm not sure if she should use the I-864 or I-864A. She was not required to file taxes due to her SS income level. I noticed on the I-864A no option to indicate that, such as on the I-864, Part 6, line 17.

Would it be better to use the I-864 so she can note no tax filing required, and submit evidence to support that? If she is required to use the I-864A because she's a household member, is it acceptable to just submit evidence explaining the reason for no tax transcript?

Does the NVC notify the petitioner when a CR1 case is approved and sent to the consulate? Thanks for any answers.

Looks like all we need is:

1. $160 check to USDoS

2. $50 to USPS for app acceptance and Photo

3. Printed DS-11 separate pages 5-6 unsigned.

4. Cert of Citz original and 1 copy.

Is that it? It looks like the Cert of Citz covers both Citz and ID. Is that correct?

can anyone clarify for me the below document requirements for CENOMAR?

Does my spouse filipino spouse required to provide a cinema as required documentation for her interview for me as a US citizen I ve never lived in the Philippines, however we were married in the Philippines.

my interpretation is, she only needs to provide the original copy of my divorce in the state country in which it took place.

As the US petitioner is, she required to provide aCENOMAR for?

About how long are passports taking now? Anyone with recent experience? Our son's came back pretty fast last year, less than a month I think. But how much of a background check can you do on a 3 month old.
