Yes, that is what I have been reading through here, that if the children are immigrants then the parent needs to fill out I864a, but in number 12 it says

"The person's listed in 6, 7, 8 or 9a, does not need to fill out form I864a because he/she is an intending immigrant and has no accompanying dependents."

So here it says dependents, not immigrating children. So that's why I am confused, because he does have accompanying dependents. But I think I understand now, I leave it blank this part.

No, we will go to Marseille in a few months and report their birth abroad and get them their US passports. It says it takes around 2 weeks.

One more question for number 13 part 6. Do I leave this blank or put 0 for each tax year? I did not file taxes and wrote a letter of explanation.

Ok, that's what I thought..so for the annual household income (number 10), I will put 0 dollars and check number 12, even though we do have accompanying children?

Yes, my joint sponsor is a dentist, no problem with that.

Thank you for the claryfication!

Hello!

I am totally confused and lost with part 6 (Household Income) on the AOS form!!!!!!! Please clarify this for me, thank you!

I am sponsoring my husband, who is the immigrant.

I have no income.

My husband of course has an income here in France.

We both live in France.

We have 3 children, but we will make them US citizens in a few months, so they are not immigrants according to this form.

My husbands income will NOT continue when we move.

So, do I include his income on part 6 number 6? And do I submit the evidence for his income?

Does he need to fill out Form i 864a because our children will be coming?

On Part 6 number 10 do I put his current income or do I keep it at 0?

Do I check number 11 or 12?

I'm confused. We have children but his income will not continue from the same source.

We do have a joint sponsor.

Thank you!!

They don't care where you live (with mom, a friend, hotel, own home, renting...), but they need a mailing address. So next time you send in paperwork, or when coming through the airport, just update the address.

However- they do care about financial arrangements. If their of you have jobs, who will be the financial sponsor for the I-864?

A friend of my family's is the joint sponsor and I am the sponsor. My family's friend is a dentist. The financial part of the form is fine, just the living arrangment is complicated now. You can't really get an apartment the day you arrive. Plus I have 3 kids.

Ok wonderful, so I do not need any proof of living arrangments, other domicile requirements are fine?

Thank you for your response.

Hello folks,

I'm in a sticky situation here. At the start of my petition for my husband, my mother in the US offered us a place to stay until we found jobs, etc. Now she has changed her mind and is not offering this anymore.

My address on the petition is her address. My question is can we keep this address throughout the whole visa process and do we absolutely need a letter of accommedation from her? Can we skip this step, or do we need some form of proof for living arrangements?

How do we find a place without looking at it or having jobs/income??

Thanks

PS, Does the domicile requirements on the affidavit of support need to include living arrangements?

No, I have never worked in the states, I was a student, then I left for France when I turned 20 and worked only for 4 months, part time, not enough money to declare.

Yes, I do have other evidence, such as; drivers license voter registration (I just voted in a local election) i will have a letter from my mother for staying at her place I will see if I can enroll my 4 year old in school Do you think a bank account is absolutly neccessary or can you explain that you will get it as soon as you arrive with your spouse? I have 3 kids and its costly to travel back from France. I was 20 when I left and I closed my account (I had no more money) and I can't figure out how to get by this issue. Will they deny the visa if I don't have an account? What banks are trustworthy?

No I am unemployed and will search for jobs when I get there. It's complicated overseas and I have never worked in the states.

Do you know of any banks that will let you open an account from overseas?

My bank refuses to let me open an account even though I was a client before and my mom is still a client. They need me in person to sign.

Is there any bank in the states that can be opened overseas?

Thanks for the help.

I see in the forums that everyone has a bank account in the states. I did have an account 5 years ago, but I closed it. And my bank will not let me reopen a new account without being there in person. Would an old bank account registration packet and a letter stating that the bank will not allow me to reopen without being there be a stupid idea?

Or can you skip this step and find other ways?

Hello,

I was wondering how much do you need to prove that you are established in the US or have the intent to establish domicile? How much proof would be safe and effective for the visa?

For example:

All I have is recent voting registration and that's all.

I don't have a bank account because I closed it when I moved 5 years ago.

However I am going to move back to the same house (my mother's house) with my family at first, then we will get our own place. Should I have a letter from my mom or something saying that is where I lived before?

I can't set up an account overseas, I tried over the phone, but they don't allow.

I have three children that I will make US citizens, but later just before we leave France.

I don't know what school to register my (will be) 5 year old because we don't know what part of town to live in.

What else I can do overseas? I live in France. Is my intent enough to say I moved temporarily to get married and produce children for the last 5 years?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you, that's helpful.

We also found out that France offers mulitilingual forms that DON'T need to be translated! That is even easier! We saved like 200 euros, that's wonderful.

Anyway, I am still confused. As we see here from the travel.state.gov website, you can pay online, but you need a NVC case number and invoice id number from the welcome letter. But we can't have the welcome letter until they recieve our application...how does this make sense???? And they don't accept personal checks? How did people pay for their application? I'm lost again..

Pay online

After you choose your agent, you need to pay your processing fees. There are two processing fees:

• Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee
• Affidavit of Support Fee

To pay your fees online, you need a bank routing number and a checking or savings account number from a U.S. bank. The image below shows the routing number, account number, and check number on a personal check. The order of these numbers may differ on your check and may include some special symbols different from those shown. You can contact your financial institution for specific details.

You will also need your NVC Case Number and Invoice ID Number (located on the NVC Welcome Letter you received from us). Once you obtain this information, log into the Immigrant Visa Invoice Payment Center and pay your fees.

No we haven't sent the forms yet; we are waiting for translations and finding a cheaper translator. It's crazy expensive here in France.

Oh ok, that makes more sense. Thank you for your help. I will send it to my joint sponsor and he will put a check in it and resend it to chicago. Thanks, that is very helpful, I didn't even think about this.

Ok great, thanks, I saw this site too. That's why I was confused because on the instructions form for the form i-130 it asks if you included your payment fee with all your other documents.

So it would be ok to pay AFTER we hear from the NVC?

Hello all,

Can you explain to me how I pay for my petition for my husband? We both live in France together. We don't have a US bank account.

Do you pay in the same exact time that you send in the petition? Or after when you hear from the National Visa Center?

We do have a joint sponsor and I think we can wire him money, but he would not pay in the same time as with our petition, so how does that work?

We are really confused. Do you write a french check and send it in the mail with your petition? Or can your sponsor send a check after you get your case number to the Homeland Security? Or does he pay online with credit card as third party agent???

Please help!! Thank you!
