if you received your passport and visa don't worry,  just know many of the embassies are no longer doing the packet for traveling to POE
it is now in computer that immigration and customs officer can see at POE in US

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to General Immigration-Related Discussion.

I have shipped 10 boxes. Mainly clothes. I have paid 1050. You pay 50 deposit which includes delivery of boxes and then pay the rest once they have picked your boxes up. That is door to door service and by air. Boat is a bit cheaper but takes a long time. Air is 7-10 days transit time. They give you all the information about the forms to fill in which makes it a lot easier too. 

I am currently using Baggage Hub. All smooth so far! Excellent customer service. 

Yes. No one ever gets the true original certificate as that stays at whatever government office stores documents in your country. By original they mean the actual document you get from the clerk, not a photocopy. What you have should suffice.

No no. If you not claim anyone on your tax, then your household will be 2( you and your spouse). The household number of your dad i864 must be 3( your dad, your mom and your spouse).

He will be the only join sponsor.

Who will be your join sponsor, your mom or dad?. If your dad is the join sponsor,then he will need i864 and your mom will need i864-a.

no but you do need all of their documentation and financial info

I know the ins is for you guys and you are not over 65, but this thread has a lot of info. ACA depends on how the state set it up. Generally for ACA tax credits you need some kind of income. (around10-15apx) If you have no income the marketplace (or your states marketplace website) will enroll you in medicaid if you qualify. Your husband wont qualify as an immigrant for federal based medicaid in every state. Some states do offer state funded medicaid for immigrants. 
There is also a lot of things going on in gov with Trump making executive orders and trying to dismantle ACA and restrict immigrants and the USC who want to sponsor them by counting tax credits and medical assistance (even for the USC or USC children) as a public charge. 
Go to the marketplace and play around on it. There are estimated calculators so you can see if you qualify and how much of a credit you will get.
 

~~Moved to Moving Here and Your New Life, from Orr Topic- As similar threads are discussed here.~~

It's 3x for a spouse, actually. So if you were 5k short on income, you would need to show at least $15k in assets.
 
You must provide documentation for all income and/or assets being used. For assets, you must show all of the following:
The asset is convertible to cash within 1 year. Using the asset would not do undue harm to you or your family members/household. You own the asset. The net value of the asset. For a bank account, all of the above is fairly easy to show via bank statements. Typically they want to see about 12 months back (to ensure there's nobody just giving you a lump sum that you will return once getting the visa).
For a car, it cannot be your sole usable vehicle (see point #2...this is explicitly listed in the I-864 instructions as not being eligible). You can have the car appraised or use another reputable source (i.e. NADA or KBB). For a classic car, depending on value, appraisal is a practical consideration if it is well maintained IMO.

hi
 
yes, it is a contract between the joint sponsor and the household member
 
 joint sponsor in this case would be your dad, household member is your mom your dad fills out an i864 as your joint sponsor, your mom the i864A as his household member
 
both of them sign the i864A
 
you will file another i864 as the primary sponsor
 
 

"Do not count any member of your household more than once" => Spouse = 0 since she is counted in #1.

No.  Your household and your parents household are two completely separate households.  Your household is just you and your husband.  Assuming zero income your I-864 should only list assets (if you're using them), and their affidavits are for their own household.

You still need to file an I-864 as the primary sponsor and you will need to be showing that you have been filing and are current (or) are not required to file US taxes.  Like most expatriates they will look at your income and taxes while you are overseas but if income does not continue after return to the US they apply zero income to the USC sponsor.  You can include your (liquid easily accessible) assets or not, your parents will only have to make up the difference in income between 1/3 of your assets and the 125% USCIS poverty guideline level.
As to proof of cohabitation etc I don't remember them taking anything in the package but the basic attachments that are on the instructions.  London may be different, but they returned all of my "evidence of marriage" back to me at the counter where I filed.  Good luck.
Their household size is 2 (assumption) and they are adding your husband as the immigrant.

They only include the immigrant. The US citizen spouse is not immigrating, (they're simply moving back).
 
Yes, lots of these forms have redundant questions. In the I130, for example, you have to list your spouse 2-3 times. They make no assumptions about anything, so the redundancy helps clear things up.

It's recommended that you bring extra evidence of your relationship if you can. In practice I don't think they ask for it much, but better to have it and not need it. You'll definitely want to bring evidence to support the stated income of anything named on the I864s. Tax transcripts/W2s for the past year are required, but bring pay stubs, bank account statements (if using assets), etc just to be safe.

Agreed with the above responses. One I-864 from you, 1 I-864 from a parent, and 1 I-864A from the other parent.
Yes, bring other evidence with you...no reason not to have it on hand just in case.

ah ok so 1 i-864 for me (no USA income at the moment as living in the UK), 1 for dad, and i-864a for mom (they do file taxes together).
 
thanks so much!
 
do i need to bring cohabitation evidence (financial documents, any proof of income while here in england?)

Glad to help. You're still a little off. You'll have 2 I864s and 1 I864A. The I864A is meant for members of the same household as a sponsor whose income will be used as well. In your case, assuming your parents file their taxes jointly, your dad can be your primary sponsor and will fill our his own I864. Your mom's income can be included but since she is a member of your dad's household, she'll only have to fill out the I864A.

Well as the US citizen spouse you'll be required to be the primary sponsor, so you'll have to fill out an I864 as well. That one should have your info even if your US income is zero. Your parents will fill out the I864 and I864A using their own info.

They accept plastic for payments on both visits

For the interview you'll need a marriage certificate.
For that, the birth certificate, and the police certificate, you'll also need photocopied because although they want to see the originals, they only keep the photocopy.

6 pics actually. 2 for interview(US size) and 4 for medical (any size).
 
Here below is the pic of your required docs and here's the link of interview's required docs (on the multiple drop down menus):
