You can put NONE or N/A in the name boxes and leave the rest blank   

Thanks...

Hello,

Hi. There are questions on I-864 that are not applicable to answer like about the interpreter...etc...  Should i  put n/a to that or just leave it blank?

Because from part 9 - 11 it  is the info for an interpreter/preparer/attorney.

It's like i haven't read those page if i didn't write anything on it.

Hi

1. Applicant valid unexpired passport

2. Applicant Birth certificate and your own birth certificate to establish the relation between you and the applicant

3. Applicant Marriage certificate in the case the person been married more than 1 time need all the previos divorce documents

4.Applicant police, military and court records from India in this case

  AFFIDAVIT OF SUPORT

Pettitioner civil documents is your birth certificate, marriage certificate and documents like this.

Proof of relationship is only in case people filling I 864 A  this is when you have a co sponsor  But if you filled only I864 for each of your parents  you not have to send any proof.

You need the las 3 years of IRS transcripts and is the same for the tax returns.

 

You can check this website:  nvc.state.gov to make sure that you have all the required documents before you send documents to NVC 

Hello,

Follow up question on this...

So only the petitioner will submit those things on the document cover sheet or even the joint sponsor too should submit those items?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, "native alphabet" just means the native language does not use the traditional latin characters. Basically that way they could easily match the name up with other documents that might be in the person's native language, which wouldn't be using the latin alphabet that the reviewer would understand. Plus, in some languages like Mandarin that latin alphabet version may actually represent several different things in native language. For example, "ma" can represent 马 (horse), 码 (mother), 麻 (hemp), or 骂 (scold). So that is why they also want to know what it is in the native alphabet. For a tonal language such as mandarin, simply writing the latin alphabet version won't tell you everything.

 

Sorry, you caught me on a particularly free night and got an unrequested lesson in Mandarin. 

Mandarin can be hard to learn but good for you to learn another language.  

Thank you...☺☺☺☺

You should be fine. That would be more for people like my husband, who would enter chinese characters in that field.

 

For example:

Surname = mama

Given name = huhu

Name in native alphabet = 马马虎虎

 

Ok, that was a bit of a joke, that isn't really his name. Literally those characters mean "horse horse tiger tiger" and it translates to so-so. But the surname and given name are how the english version of those characters are written for a form like this.

Haha... that made me smile...  So the native alphabet means in the from is the alphabet not in english letters like france, chinese, japanese etc...

I will put "does not apply" then instead putting her full name.  

Thank you...Thank you again.  You've been a great help.

No worries. Sometimes in the US you will see the the "given name" split out as first name and middle name. I rarely use my middle name unless it is a situation like this where they want the full legal name, but here it is still counted as part of your given name since legally it is part of your name.

 

I also wanted to make sure that she didn't just add your surname to hers. Some cultures do that, so then her surname could have been "Kelly Reyes", "Reyes Kelly", "Kelly-Reyes", or "Reyes-Kelly".

No..No.. in our country we only use one surname not combined.  One last thing... how about the Full Name in Native Alphabet.  Searched google and many answered does not apply.  do i have to do that too?  because we also use english alphabet.

So for the first part (before you got to the "other names" question) it should have been:

 

Surnames: Reyes

Given Names: Mary Kelly

 

 

 

For the "other names" it will be:

 

Surnames: Kelly

Given Names: Mary Hope

 

 

 

Sorry, wasn't trying to make it difficult, but it's not safe to assume that she had already updated her passport. And the names were getting confusing. Just wanted to make sure I had them straight.

Hello,

Good thing you quoted the first part.  I haven't read that i have to put down all names written on the passport.  (Huh... What a relief)

Thank you...thank you...

Yes. She just updated her passport recently so there will be no problem.  In the Philippines we only use the first name as the GIVEN NAME, without the middle name.  That's why i wanted to make sure that i'm doing things right.  Thank you.  Thank you very much.

Thanks also to LaurenAndBrent.

What?

 

So her maiden name was: Mary Hope Kelly

 

And her married name is: Mary Kelly Reyes

 

Her passport reads: Mary Kelly Reyes

 

Is this correct?

That's just an example but YES you got it right.

18 minutes ago, LaurenAndBrent said:

Other surnames would just be Kelly and then other given names would say just Mary. Unless her passport also lists a middle name and then the other given names would be "Mary *middle name*"

Repeat...

Wife's Name:  Mary Hope Kelly (Unmarried Name with Middle name)

                       Mary Kelly Reyes (Married Name with Maiden as Middle Name)

So: 

Other Surnames Used: Kelly

Other Given Names Used: Mary Hope (with middle name when unmarried)

Is this right now? 

8 minutes ago, EG&XY said:

But we still have not established which name is on the passport. Married name? Or maiden name?

The name on her passport Given Name, Middle Name (surname before Marriage) and Surname (married Surname)

Name: Mary Hope Kelly   (Hope is her middle Name Kelly is Surname Before Marriage)  Mary Kelly Reyes (married Name)

Other Surnames Used:  Kelly

Other Given Names Used:  Mary Hope  (Given Name + Middle Name)

Now This is correct right?

I know you're asking someone else but I literally answered this for you earlier and pointed you in the direction of the NVC instructions on answering this question. 

Hello,

I read the help a couple, or maybe 7 times...LOL...   So my understanding is this... Wife's Name:  Mary Kelly (Maiden)  Mary Reyes (Married Name)

So Other Surnames Used answer is "Mary Kelly" or only "Kelly"?

And Other Given names Used is "Mary"

This is my understanding...

1 minute ago, LaurenAndBrent said:

That's fine. You aren't going to get another answer to that second question though, it isn't subjective. There is only one correct way to fill in the information which is what I already talked you through earlier lol. Anyway, you don't need to apologise. Take more time to read the instructions given on the ds260 so that you don't make any mistakes! 

Hi,

That's the problem to us who is not good in English.  We ask even the simplest question sometimes even we know the answer to the question,we still ask to make sure it is really correct. LOL.  

Anyway thanks again.

Hello,

No offense to you LaurenAndBrent I just want someone also to answer my inquiries. Like other topics that has many answers and confirmation.  My apologies if to you.  As for my first question here on this thread it was all about spouse immigrating with me.

Again my apologies

Not a problem. It was just that I saw it and then got confused. Either way works since you may end up with questions about either her or your situation.

Hello,

One more thing... This was already been answered but I wan't to know your answer to this.

Question 1,  On the first Part on the question "Have you ever used other names?"  (maiden, religion...etc).

So is it right to click "yes" on the question and put her recent surname before we got married?  

Question 2, After the "other surnames used" question there is another question below that "other given names used".  I don't put anything there because she has not used any given names other than her name. but when I'm finished and click on the next page it doesnt go to the next page saying i have to answer the question "other given names".  So is it ok or do i have to put "Does not apply or none" to that question.

No, they are just trying to link up DS-260's for spouses. But it doesn't apply to you. Several people have gotten tripped up on that recently, but they didn't realize till after they submitted. Just answer no to both of those and you will be fine.

 

Just to make sure that I understand correctly. You are currently an LPR (green card holder) and now you are petitioning for your wife? Sorry, I'm not as familiar with the visa categories for people other than the spouse of a US citizen, so I'm not certain if the FB-2 visa you have listed on your profile is the visa that you entered on or if it is the visa that you are applying for to bring your wife over. 

Hi,

Yes i'm already A LPR and noe petitioning my wife.  The FB-2 on my profile was my immigration status (Unmarried sons/daughters) back then. As for my wife's petition it was F2A.  Sorry. I should change it then.  Thanks.

22 minutes ago, EG&XY said:

No to both. You are not immigrating at all.

 

Immigrate = to come to live permanently

 

You are already living permanently in the us so you can not immigrate to the us. You would simply be traveling with them.

 

This would be more appropriate if you were sponsoring your parents. Are they both immigrating together? Would one remain and immigrate later?

Hello, 

EG&XY thanks for the reply.  I will answer no then.  The one got me confused was the 2nd question "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?  I'm thinking if I answer no to this question is its like I left my wife to and not to join her at a later time.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I think i'm halfway now on filling DS 260.   Another question is  "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. with you?"
I'm the petitioner so this question is for my wife.  So what will I answer then?  I'm not travelling with her to go to the US.   Do i have to answer NO?  

When I click no in the form (DS-260)  there is another question pop up, "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you? "  That now made me confused. 

I hope anyone can help about my inquiry. thanks.

Yep! So her surname before marriage goes in the other surnames used and her current given names go in other given names used (even though it has not changed). When you review the form when you are finished you will understand better why they get you to do this. 

Ok...ok... I thought it is safe to just answer NONE or DOES NOT APPLY.  Ok then i'll continue this filling up and ask some questions again if ever i have.

Thank you again LaureAndBrent.

You have to put her current given names in the "other given names used" section. I know it sounds strange but that's what the instructions say to do which are down the right hand side beside the question. 

 

For example if her name used to be Mary Jane Kelly then the maiden name goes in the other surname used bit and Mary Jane will go in other given names used, even though it hasn't changed. 

Thanks LaurenAndBrent for the reply.  So based on your reply I will put Mary Jane Kelly on the other names used Mary Jane is the given name and Kelly is her surname before marriage. And put Mary Jane on other given names used?

Hello,
