Question for my friend:

My mom has a greencard, she is applying green card for her husband(my step father). She just came to the US 2 years ago, she doesn't have income and she lives with me and my husband.

For I-864 form, Part 1, should I put in her name or my name if my husband and I both are join sponsor for her husband? We both have jobs.

Please see the attachment highlight sections, which one should I choose and whose name should I put in?

Thanks.

If I put my mom's name in part 1, does it mean my husband and I both need to fill out I-864A forms seperately? So in total 3 forms.  I-864 - my mom, I-864A my husband, I-864A I fill out the form too.

Thanks.

It is inferred because the form asks if the beneficiary is currently in the US. Further down the form it asks if the beneficiary is planning on staying in the US .. adjusting status ... or returning to home country and using Consular processing 

Thanks. I just found this on I 130 form. The NOTE means"if the beneficiary choose to the US to process the case, the USCIS might not process the case? "

Husband can mail it anytime including if she is in the US.

Thanks so much. Do you know if I can find this info from any of the official documents? 

My friend "A" got married in Japan. Her husband "B" lives in the US. 

"A" just came to the US with B2 visa, she is planning on going back to work in Japan.

Can "B" mail out the application forms and documents while "A" is still in the US?

"A" has no plan to wait for her green card in the US.

Should "A"  go back to Japan before "B" mail out the green card application?

Thanks.

Again, the lease/rental income wont count as income since you reported 0 income for 2016.

 

According to the forms instructions you need to provide an appraisal for any property.  You can send it in with out it but it may not be accepted.

 

If you use a joint sponsor/cosponsor they fill out the 864 (their spouse the 864a) and you still fill out the 864 as well. 

Thanks. I see.

Last question, for F2A, Do I need to file 2 separate I 864 forms, one for  my wife, one for my daughter? Thanks

Assets (not income) must be at 3x 125% of the income level for a spouse or minor child, and 5x for all others.

I see. Thanks.

My saving is about $30,000.  Does the house purchase contract work for assets? I also have leases from the rentals.

Thanks.

Your income from the houses wont count since you show 0 income from them on your tax returns. You will be using all assets. You need appraisals of the homes. Its the value less any loans you have. That plus any money in the bank needs to equal 3x the poverty guidelines.

 

The joint sponsors household size would be them, their spouse if they have one, their children if they have any plus your wife and son.

 

The 2 houses were paid by cash, so no loans. Will the purchase contracts work as an asset proof since the houses were purchased less than 2 years?

Why 3 x the poverty guidelines? I thought it should be 125% poverty guideline.  3 people= $25,525

The saving account in the bank is over $30000, so I should be good, right? I'm trying not to get a joint sponsor. I 864A form said : this form may only be used if the sponsor doesn't meet the poverty guideline.

You can also add the value of the houses in terms of real state.

 

You should look into how to use assets to sponsor visas. When using assets (property/savings) you need more than income from a job. 

 

The more you add the better because you avoid getting an RFE for more information. But you need to make sure you are adding everything correctly.

Thanks. so if I can provide houses ownership, rent income, saving from the bank, I should be good, right?

I own 2 houses in the US and I also rented them out for my income since last year.

Because of the house expenses for repair houses, my 2016 tax form showed me to have $0 total income and $0 adjusted gross income.

According to the leases, I should get $33000 rent this year. I applied F2A for my wife and my kid(younger than 16). I'm back to my home country and waiting for the visa interview with my wife and kid. I have I 131 with me.

Because I didn't make enough to pay taxes the first year after I got my green card. With my current annual income is a little over $30000, my saving is a little over $30,000,  do I still need to get a joint sponsor? If so, what form should my join sponsor fill out?

I checked the poverty level in 2017 for 3 people after 125% is $25,525.

Thanks for your time.

my PD is May 2016. Right now f2a B list date is nov,1,2016.  A list date is oct 22,2015

Can anyone explain to me what these 2 dates mean to me?  Thanks so much.

What should I do now since the interview was passed. I'm waiting for the visa and passport. But I just realized that I never register the delivery address online before the interview.

Is it too late to register? Thanks. please help.

IR5 visa

Never mind. You do need 325a and photos with 485 form. sorry.

I don't think you need to send G 325A and 2 passport style photos. That's for applying for spouse only.

hi

nope, there will be no receipts with her name on, for the i130

Thanks for your response.

So only the mom's name will be on the receipt.

When should I submit i131 and 765 during this process? Which step they will request the child's info?

Thanks

I applied for the mom and child, only paid $420 for the mom and one I 130 with the info of the mom and child.

Will the child's name on I 130 receipt? I only found the mom's name. Should I call USCIS to confirm about this? I worried that they think that I only want to immigrant the mom, not with the child.

I called USCIS before applied, the lady told me only need on I 130 and one $420 check. I'm confused. Please help, thanks.

Do I need to fill 2 i130 forms and 2 sets of documents? Also 2 checks or 1 check for 2 fees combined?

Thanks.

My dad just came to the US with IR5. He is applying F2A for his wife and his daughter(6 years old).

I 130 D 1. If separate petitions are also being submitted for other relatives, give names of each and relationship.

My questions:

Should I put my half sister's name here?

Do I need to fill out another I 130 form, support document and separate check for my half sister?

I searched here, but I can't find the info. Thanks.

found the first answer by searching. send online AR 11 form to change address within 10days.

what about the second question? more current timeline?

I'm moving next month or so, but don't know the new address yet.

DS 260 asked me where should they send my dad's green card to?

I didn't buy a new house in the new city yet, so I don't know which address I should use. Can I use my current address and contact nvc after I moved to the new house? I just hope they won't send the green card to the old address.

Also for guangzhou,China's interview, from complete the case(send civil documents, paid twice and ds 260 and 1 month of review time) to interview, how long it might take? Thanks.

Thanks. I have no idea that's illigal, is there any document that I can read about this?

My dad remarried after I'm 21. Does it matter?

So you mean I need to send two different application in different mail folder? Can I apply for them together in one folder and fill up two seperate forms for them?

Thanks again.

My dad remarried 3years ago, now he has a daughter and wife.

My mom and dad divorced maybe 10years ago.

They always keep in touch, they all have good relationship.

Now my dad wants me to apply green card for him and my mom.

After he got a green card, he will apply green cards for his wife and daughter.

Question:

1. Since my mom came here several times with tourist visa and always go back on time. I know people came here with tourist visa and apply for green card in the US when visa holder is still in the US. I'm curious how long she will have to wait before apply for green card after she got to the US?

2. How long should he wait after he got his green card before he can apply green cards for his family?

3. What visa should he apply? F2A F2B?

4. Can I apply green cards for my divorced mom and dad at the same time?

5. How long it will take for my dad's family to get their green cards?

Thanks so much.
