Did you file two different petitions for your wife and step child? Because hes right you can just file one petition and add multiple beneficiary's to the petition. Especially for the I-864. you can add 6  people. 

 

For Part 5. 1 Item. Provide the number of you entered in Item Number 29. (If its 1 for your spouse the principle immigrant) then in Part 5. Item number 3. If you are currently married you should (enter 0) because your spouse is already counted in Part 5. Item number 1. (so shes not counted twice and you have a incorrect members of households) 

 

For the dependent parts I do not know if step children are counted as "children" for Item number 4 or "other dependents" for Item number 5 . But you know the deal now. If shes counted already on the petition and counted in your total number for Part 5. Item number 1. do not count your step child twice in your household.

 

Good Luck to you.

Actually, I petition my spouse but doesn’t have any children.. I got approved from Nvc and currently we’re waiting for his interview date. 

Yes,  you got my idea but in your case,  you need to put 2 instead of 1 in part 3 #29 and you need to check the box part 3 #2 and put the child’ Info under family member 1. I want you to check this i 864  instructions  item #2  says the “principal immigrant can bring children.” ...... So part 5 #1put 2 , for #2 put 1(for yourself) then add all together part5 #8 put total 3 (yourself, wife &the child)

But what I’m concerning is you said you file two separate petitions do you mean you send 2 different i 130 too?

She said that they are requesting the back page and that the stamp may be visible on the back and maybe that's what they mean. And what are her options ignore them completely. What does it hurt to upload the back and then they approve it. 

 

Yeah, anyway since they asked her to send the back too,  it’s a good idea to upload both sides.

2. yourself. i put 1 

should i put 1 in number 3 which is “if you are currently married, enter number here.”
 

thank you! 

 

You are sponsoring your spouse, so you entered 1 in Part 3 Question 29. This automatically fills out Part 5 Question 1 with the same value. Then begins the section titled "persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit". So since your spouse is being sponsored, don't put a 1 in Part 5 Question 3.

So, I have a question for you. Is your step child your current wife’s child? Because I wonder why do you file 2 separate visa petitions?

When uploading docs to NVC do we need to scan back and front?  Do most of you scan only front or both side even if back is blank

No. You don’t have to scan the back unless  there’s something on it such as green card, marriage certificate, police certificate.

Given the 2MB limitation, that isn't feasible if more than a few documents are necessary, and/or if any of them are scans.

You’re right it shouldn’t be over 2 mb but you have some options to shrink the big size in to smaller. .. *you can lower dpi on your scanner setting before  you scan it. The other option is...

1. Open the PDF you wish to optimize.
2. Choose Document—> Optimize Scanned PDF. . .
3. The Optimize Scanned Image window appears.
4. Choose the appropriate level of compression and click ok.            .....if you guys don’t have adobe you can access the free trial I think that lasts 2 weeks.

I have submitted only one bank statement as domicile evidence and got accepted. But if you want to submit  several evidences, you can combine them as one file (pdf)  in adobe acrobat. Good luck.
