sorry to hear about your visa being denied.. what is unlawful presence?

Just an FYI folks: Hubby went for his medical exam today and got 3 vaccinations: MMR, influenza, and Tdap. The MMR he already had 2 doses of as a child, but the doctor at Knightsbridge today told him that he needed 3 doses to be considered 100% in compliance. I had never read or heard that elsewhere, but that's what the doc said and my husband decided to get the jab rather than risk an incomplete medical record.

Suggestion for UK Residents... you can get MMR and TDAP from your GP few days before you go for your medical.. it will save you £70-80 ..Nightbride doctor gave me influenza only...

hello, just go ahead and add your daughter in question 9, assuming your daughter is part of the same visa petition

Hi gstrength, that is the confusion.. i am not sure if it is the same visa petition or different petition? we have different LND case numbers but we are planning to move and apply for visa at same time. does that mean same visa petition or different visa petition?

Thanks

Sorry but if your joint sponsor is not a household member then, you must file an I-864. One I-864 for the sponsor and, one I-864 for the joint sponsor.

Thnks gstrength that clear all the doubts. 2 x i-864 form ( one from sponsor and one from joint sponsor) agreed!

but sorry for not being clear.. what i meant to ask in this question was. both our sponsors are basically sponsoring me and my daughter. now do we just need one i-864 from each sponsor for both (my and my daughter) of us ? or sperate I-864 for each one us?

Thanks

Hrmm, There may be a different set of forms in that case. I've used my mother as the joint sponsor and she is also whom we'll be living with so she had to fill out the I864A. Nich-Nick and Holly are oracles of information regarding visa's and one of them are bound to see this thread and shed their wisdom.

i see.. thanks alot for your help Angela.. i hope they see this thread somehow

No problem

There are 2 separate forms. Your wife will need to fill out the I864 and your joint sponsor needs to fill out the I864A. On the last page of the I864A, Part 2 'I the sponsor' etc, Line 14 it calls for the sponsors signature. I hope this helps

Thanks again Angela... i am getting all confused here now.. this is becoming so complicated... arghhh... i thought i864a is if the sponsor or joint sponsor is using income from house hold members? in our case , my wife lives with me in london and not working so so we are using her brother in law (who is in states) to be the join sponsor to meet the income requirement and his income is ok to sponsor both me and my daugther plus all his current dependants (his wife +kids) , so in that case do we still need to get i864a filled up? am i completely on the wrong page here?

Thanks a million for your help

Also one last hurdle, the question in i-864 is confusing.

my wife and her brother in law would sponsor me and our baby daugther, now shall we just add our daughter in in question 9 (picture attached), or there should be a anothre i-864 for her?

Make sure he double checks every signature and have him send it to you first because the petitioner is going to need to sign it as well. I missed that signature and it's caused a delay in our application. In addition, the co sponsor needs to provide proof of status. A color copy of the biographical data page of his passport will suffice. Make sure he sends that too! I'm literally amidst an administrative processing due to the lack of both of those things. It's a hassle you don't want, believe me! Good luck!

Thanks Angela,

where does petitioner needs to sign it? i understand that both my wife(petitioner) and join sponser (her brother in law) needs to fill one i-864 form separetly ? is this not right?

and thanks for letting me know about the passport color copy. we will ask him to send that as well.

i sent both part 1 and part 2 recently!

Hi Guys,

it would be great if someone could help me out here.

We live in london and my wife is a US citizen /national and recently our petition (for me and our daughter) got approved , to my understanding now we have to complete ds-230 , ds 2001 and I-864(Affadvit of support) and send them back to the london embassy and get our medical done, we have already filled ds230 and sent it back, just waiting for police certificate to arrive so we can complete ds 2001 and send it to the embassy. my question is in regards to the I-864. my wife lives with me in the uk and does not work so we are using my wife's brother in law in states to be the joint sponsor to full fill the income requirement.

Now does the joint sponsor need to send I-864 directly to the embassy or he sends it to us and we take it along with us on the day of interview? or we need to send it to the embassy well before the interview?

And do we need to send all the orignial documents in support of our visa application before the interview or just need to take it along with us on the day of interview?

one final question? on i-864 form it asks if the sponsor is us national or us citizen ? whats the difference?

please if anyone can answer these questions that would be great.

Thanks
