• my dad is sponsoring me, i'm adult son unmarried living in the U.S. who has over stayed a visa ( since i was 8, i'm 37 now ), which also means i would need to apply for a waiver.

• my case or was filed or i got 1-130 notice of action petition of alien relative on October 2011 ( recieved date )

• Preference is a2B, i think there's another name for is F2B

• only thing is the 1-130 so far.

• my priority date isn't active till 2022 ( hiring lawyer in 2021 )

Does my dad need to update the i-130? 

because i've been getting notices that forms have been updated.

thanks, i went reddit, but they seem to have slowed down.

the affidavit and other forms and documents are sent after the waiver is approved

 

the waiver doesn't go to the nvc, it is sent to a po box in the US, it has an address

 

 

so nvc contacts my dad.

he send reciepts, and waiver? what else exactly 

i just want to confirm

1. affidavit of support is sent after the waiver is approved, or along with the waiver?

2. My dad needs to send NVC with the waiver, and the hardship letter, as well as proof of payment of the forms.

3. NVC will contact my dad when it's close to my priority date being live, is that when we send waiver and affidavits of support and proof of payment?

4. I-184a is the joint sponsorship form my sister needs to do, if we end up moving in with one of my sisters?

Your father should update his new address as soon as possible with immigration. And I agree with the others that you are focusing too much on cosponsors when you have a long way to go. Don't count eggs before they hatch. You don't know what will happen when your case finally comes up. You cosponsors may not even qualify then.

what should i focus on more, the hardship waiver, i know that one will more likely fail.

what if we moving in with my sister that's from out of state before my priority date, when should i update our adress, or does my dad need to be the one to update it?

not for the one who lives in another state, the i864A is only for those who live in the same house with the sponsor

 

you are too focused on the affidavit of support. you still have a long way to go and you don't know what will happen

 

 

i know that i have to wait for the nvc to call my dad. 

i know i have to hire a lawywer 1 year before priority date.

i know i have to have waiver.

i know if my waiver is denied there's no point continuing.

what i'm i missing, any input would be great?

if your dad is going to use her income, she can but she must be the sole joint sponsor, joint sponsors can't combine income, so she would need to cover you, herself and her family if she has one, your dad wouldn't need the help of your other sister

 

household members are the only ones that can combine income with the sponsor, as they live in the same house

 

 

she has a husband and 1 of her own child, she does have 2 step kids, but they'll be over 18 by then, so it's still i864a for her?

if one of your sisters will be filing as the joint sponsor, she will file the i864, if your sisters file as the co sponsors because they all live at the same house, they each will file the i864A, your dad will pay for the affidavit of support, your sister's affidavits and financial documents are part of his affidavit of support

 

 

we might move in with my older sister in a different state because my dad may no longer be able to work when my priority date arrives, which is in 5 years. 

My younger sister would still be in Seattle, she files for i864 even if she's in a different state? 

as for adress change, do we change it to my sister who we will move in with?

Just now, aleful said:

read my answers, when your dad sends in the forms, he will send his affidavit of support, plus the affidavit of support of the joint sponsor or co sponsors

 

 

are they the same forms? do they mark something different main/joint sponsor, do my sisters has to pay for the form, how much are the affidavit of support, is the form i-184 or i184?

you have a 10 year ban, without an approval of a waiver, there is no GC

 

if you leave the country without a waiver approved, there are no guarantees they will approve another waiver while you are in your country, and you might have to wait out the 10 year ban in your country. so there is no point in continuing the process without a waiver approval

 

once immigration contacts your dad and request the payment of the forms, a copy of the payments must be sent with the waiver and hardship letter

 

 

what about joint sponsors, how do they get involved in that proccess or forms.

1 minute ago, aleful said:

like I said, after the waiver is approved, and your dad send in the forms and documents

 

the i864 is part of the documents. they will contact you for some of the paperwork, but the majority is for your dad,

 

you will be naming a representative, an agent who will take care of the paperwork

 

 

so there's no point having any joint sponsor at all if the hardship waiver is denied?

so.

1. 1-30

2. priority date active

3. denied because i overstayed

when does the waiver come into this?

1 minute ago, aleful said:

the affidavit of support is sent after the waiver is approved

 

nvc will contact your dad close to your priority date to request payments, forms and documents

 

you dad should only pay the forms but not send them. with the waiver, and the hardship letter, he needs to send proof of payment of the forms

 

once the waiver is approved, the process continues until the case is completed and you have your interview in your country of origin

 

 

what about my sister being joint sponsor, when should they do that?

NVC won't contact me? i thought hey would contact me besides my dad as well.

Sorry to give you this bad news, but I don't think there's any way to avoid a 10 year ban because of your overstay, unless you can prove "Extreme Hardship," which is notoriously difficult. You ought to consult a lawyer now.

if i'm denied the waiver, i have no plans leaving at all, my questions though is about when should the joint sponsor/s get involved in my processes, should they file now or closer to my priority date.

my case or was filed or i got 1-130 notice of action petition of alien relative on October 2011 ( recieved date )

info about me.

• my dad is sponsoring me, i'm adult son unmarried living in the U.S. who has over stayed a visa ( since i was 8, i'm 37 now ), which also means i would need to apply for a waiver.

• only thing is the 1-130 so far.

• my priority date isn't active till 2022 ( hiring lawyer in 2021 ), by that time though, we might move in with my sister cuz my dad is getting old. but to apply for visa or get a visa to come to u.s, i would have to leave the country for the interview.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I have two U.S citizen sisters, when should they send a joint sponsor ship thingy in? what it that form called, and where would they say that they are joint sponsor to my dad?

You would need to be an Immediate Relative of a USC to qualify for a 601a waiver. USC spouse or USC child over 21. A USC parent would only work if you were under 21 and unmarried at the time the parent files.

Your father becoming a USC will not help you.

Your PD does not change. It is what it is.

Once your ban is over, you can apply for an immigrant visa.

the 601A expanded if that does pass that would apply to me too right?

once my ban is over, i will still have my old priority date?

I have several questions.

If I do go back and stay for 10 years now, but not do a waiver what happens to my priority date?

what do I do after that 10 year wait is over?

my dad ( 70 years old ) is LPR my priority date is in 7 years. i'm preference is 203 a2b also know as F2B i think. He isn't planning to become citizen at the moment, since the line for that is LONGER for me.

the reason why i would have to do a waiver because i over stayed, and i think the waiver is risky, and is one of the reason i think i should just do the 10 year and get it over with.

I-601A expanded hasn't happened, and i'm not really counting on that, and of course doing an I-601 waiver is riskier and that one i would still have to leave the country, but have risks for being denied which basically the 10 year ban right when i get there, so it would be 2022 + 10 more years.

Recapture, does Recapture only work if i'm denied a waiver? how does recapture work for me after i stayed in my home country after 10 years.

recapture only happens if the old I-130 petition was not terminated?, how do I make sure it's not terminated?

My dad becoming citizen opt out option?, any more info on that, where I would stay in the same place in line.

I-601A expanded requires that the petitioner is citizen or just LPR?, but the priority date is longer if my dad is citizen, but I-601A would be the one I want, so if I'm denied, I won't risk not being able to return. ( this one is less risky but won't my dad have to become a citizen, and upgrade my I-130 F-3 )
