She will get 10 year GC if she arrives in November. It counts by the date she enter the US not the Visa issued date.

it's worth waiting for a month or two but don't delay it for too long. Good luck

Hi Brenden, 

My wife is waiting to get her interview letter from the Consulate in HCM City too. Your concern is also mine. Here are some information that I have gathered and come up with a solution.

1. DS5540 is requested (or may not) by the consular officers at the time of interview. We don't know yet so we better come prepare.

2. I'm looking into this short term coverage for my wife as a proof of she will have insurance for at least 30 days upon arriving. The quotes are reasonable for 30 days coverage.

3. It will be your decision about when you will go to the US, so just estimate and put down on DS5540 and insurance plan so at least you have something to show if requested 

I personally will get this ready for my wife prior her interview, I don't want to take any risk since the Consular in HCMC is kind of strict.

I hope this help you and good luck with everything

I am sponsoring my husband to come to the US but since I am making very little money, I am having my father be a joint sponsor and fill out i-864 as well. However, he filed his taxes jointly with my mother, so she will have to fill out an i-864A. The issue is she does not want to be liable for my husband so she is refusing to do it. Does anyone know the best solution to this problem? I do not have anyone that can help as a sponsor other than my father.......

Your situation is very similar to mine. If your father makes more than enough for sponsoring, your mother doesn't need to fill out any form even thought they file tax jointly. Keep in mind that because filing tax jointly so your father need to submit W-2s along with tax transcripts (showing his individual income)

Wow, Congratulation!!! You are very lucky. According to NVC Time Frame, they are reviewing documents were submitted on Feb 14. You are way ahead of them, also it just took you 1 weeks to get everything done from the day your I-130 approved.

Congrats again and best wish to you.

Waiting for them to discover the mistake and ask for a new one will put them even further back in the line.  No?

 

It mean should I or should I not upload a new one?

Thank you Pushbrk

I recently (5 days ago) submitted I 864A and realized that I made a mistake about total income section.

Can I upload a new one and resubmit as an additional document

Thank you

They would not pay a claim once they knew you're a U.S. Resident. I'd go with a non ACA domestic short term plan. Peace of mind with claims process and safe in the knowledge that the plan would not be null and voided. 

Thank you 

Could you please provide the link to look for that insurance plan if possible

This relates to the new DS-5540 public charge form (which you may be asked to provide at interview). The form specifically asks about plans to obtain health insurance, your savings and employment prospects. See thiswebsite: https://cliniclegal.org/resources/ground-inadmissibility-and-deportability/public-charge/state-departments-new-fam-public

 

The DS-5540 asks if the applicant is currently covered by health insurance in the United States and, if so, to attach evidence of it. If the applicant is not currently covered, the form asks if he or she will be covered within 30 days of admission. If so, the applicant is to identify the health insurance plan and indicate the date coverage will begin. This last question relates to the Presidential Proclamation mandating that most immigrant visa applicants either possess health insurance or express the ability to purchase it within 30 days of admission. Thatproclamation is currently enjoined, but the DS-5540 nevertheless asks this question.

It is a heavily weighted positive factor if the applicant has “private health insurance for use in the United States covering the period the applicant is expected to remain in the United States.” But there is no equivalent negative factor if the applicant does notevidence having any health insurance.

Thank you for your response.

There are some confusion when i check out the ds-5540 form.

"Will you be covered by health insurance in the US within 30 days of your entry"- how it is possible if I don't have SSN card and green card to buy an insurance plan?  and I need to identify specific insurance plan and date coverage will begin- How can I do that before I coming in to the US?

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I quote this statement form the NVC case number email that sent to me regarding CR1 process.

I have no idea what that means and does it affect CR1 interview or entry to the US.

Thank you

You need to file your own I-864 no matter whether you income is enough or not.  ONLY if your parents NEED to combine income with your parents, would you do so.  The highest earner of your parents file an I-864 as joint sponsor and  the other parent provides an I-864a as the joint filing household member.  If you are over 21 OR married, you do NOT count in your parents' household unless you are listed as a dependent on their tax return.  Become a A-student of those I-864 instructions.

 

Thanks for your quick feedback.

I forgot to mention that I live in the same address with my parents so think my dad need to file I-864A

For my situation how can I fill out Part 5 in I-864

Thank you

Hello everyone.

I just recently join this forum and am looking for some answers for my confusion.

I filed I-864 and my income is not enough. I combine my dad's income and he filed I-864A.

My dad and mom file tax married jointly.

In my I-864, I declared that the household size is 4 (my dad, my mom, my wife who is abroad and myself).

Does my mom need to file I-864A also? since my income and dad's income combined is already higher than 125% poverty guideline for household size of 4.

Thank you
