Urgen, really needs help!!!!

I am filing I-864 sepately for my parents and need to file two sepate I-864a for each of them since I need my husband's income for the financial support. So in the I-864a, Part 2, #13, what number should I put in the blank line for the intending immigrant(s)? I am sponsoring both of my parents.

Why should where they intend to stay in the US matter?

How does staying at a hotel help them overcome the presumption of immigration? How is staying at a US hotel versus your home show they intend to return home after visiting? Seems like they are trying to trick the US Embassy, and the Embassy is well aware of tricks like this.

I will reillerate again - be honest. Stop trying to outthink the US Embassy. The US Embassy has a lot more experience than you in spotting tricks.

I just thought that might be better to show they are not tie to US a lot that they will return to China after the trip.. cuz my uncle's family is in Fujian provice, where a lot of illegal immigrants in US, that visa officers will be tough..

thank you for your explanation, I really appreciated it.

They have to disclose relatives in the US.

You think you are being creative and smart, but the US Embassy is aware of these tricks and the tricks alone will be reason to deny the visas.

Be honest.

yep, and should I find a hotel for them instead of my home address in US as a place to stay?

They your uncle and family will have to prove to the satisfaction of the US consular official at the interviewing US embassy/consulate, that they have significant ties to the PRC such that they would return to the PRC after their US visit is completed. Such ties could include, property, house ownership, current stable employment, etc. Each visitor visa applicant is presumed to have immigration intent, and must prove that they are not trying to immigrate to the US. A letter from a doctor, any documents from you, or any other invitation-type letter would likely have no positive effect on the visitor visa approval. The recent bilateral visa agreements generally affect the length of the visa and will likely have little effect on visa eligibility, as noted in the fourth Q&A of the above referenced DOS link.

Good luck.

Thank you for your reply.. I did sent a invitation to them with academic certificate, but it seems useless.. About the strong tie to China, is it better not to indicate that they have relatives in US or not to list any relatives in US, and find a hotel address to stay when they in US instead?

I am graduating this semester, and I want to invite my uncle's family (2 adults and 2 kids, one is 21 yrs old, and one is 4 yrs old) to attend my ceremony. But my uncle recently divoced and I want to invite the whole family because they raised me up. How should I fill the DS-160 the travel part, should I put them together in the section says to travel together to the US? or should I seperate them in two groups, one adult with one kid? The mother is housewife all the time without any income and the father is going to pay for the trip..

for now, yes, they are in different queues, as is separate casefiles.

I suggest you call in to NVC on Monday, ask for a supervisor, and ask that the casefiles be married together - as this will ensure/insure appointment date together.

I tried million times to call them at different time, but it is always in busy line.. it's not like other customer services that put you in the holding line.. it's just busy line then hang up automatically.. is it normal?

NVC said 'bring updated to interview' - so don't send off again to NVC.

Since is GZO Casefile Number, NVC will set the appointment within 30 days after 'case complete' timetick, for a date 20 to 45 days out.

Since is EP case, parents must present all stuff submitted via EP on interview day - but you'll get instructions about it .

Vice-Consuls speak Mandarin or Cantonese - you need another dialect? if yes, ask via the GUZ IV email webform thingie prior, as soon as you know the interview date.

Thank you again for answering...

Only my mom's case is completed, and my dad's still on reviewing.. and NVC sent a different notice for my dad to redo the I-864 and to be sent as they requested, my mom's is waiting for interview date..

Do you think they are going to get a different interview date?

yes, one I-864 on each human, treated seperate.

2 humans? 2 I-864's .

the math starts to get interesting, but luckily you have some time to get it sorted - no one has an appointment yet.

casefile numbers start with GUZ or GZO ? If GUZ - expect a longish wait - maybe 4 to 6 more months.

Thank you for replying, Darnell..

and I resent a corrected I-864 for my dad two days ago. Hope this time they can review it faster.

Last time I sent them corrected I-864 was on September, and get response in this week.

The case number was start with GUZ,and changed to GZO three months ago when I first received the notice to correct the I-864...

Do you know how long it takes to the interview from now?

I haven't received anything about the interview in Guangzhou...

One more question.. My parents cannot speak any English and they barely understand maderain.. Can then bring someone else to translate for them? If yes, can the translator be someone biologically related to them?

I filed I-130 for my parents last year and they were approved. After half year, I received a notice to file addtional documents for both of them, including affidavid of Support. So I filed same I-864 for both of them, but sent in two emails since they have different case number. I used my father as principle immigrant and my mother as family to come with him. But today, I received a letter from NVC said that my mother's case is completed and ready for the interviw. My mother need to bring a new AOS for interview. And my father is still missing some evidence because of the I-864 that my mother should not be a family or spouse to come with him. In this case, should I file a new I-864 for my father that exclude my mother on that? And also prepare a I-864 for my mother as a principle immigrant for the interview?

I also try to call them in (603) 334-0700, but it's always in busy line, the call kept canceling.. Please help me here, I have been waiting for this case for more than one year.
