Hello, I am petitioning my wife via consular process in Japan, and I am sponsoring her with a joint co-sponsor because of my low income. I am stumped on part 5 question 6 on I-864. I petitioned and sponsored my ex-wife via adjustment in the US more than 13 years ago, and the question is asking me if I sponsored anyone else that is now a lawful permanent resident. 1.) My ex-wife is now and has been a US citizen for a few years. I sponsored her with a joint sponsored more than 13 years ago. Would I still need to mark "1" and include her on part 5 question 6 when both me and the joint co-sponsor fill in the forms? I'm assuming this applies if she is still a permanent resident, but as a US citizen does it still apply?

Hello, Firstly, I wanna thank everyone for helping out on the beginning of our visa journey, but we are still at complicated roadblocks ahead. I will be petitioning my wife via consular process in Tokyo, and we are confused on where we should put my wife's name on part 4. We are both foreign nationals in Japan (I'm US Citizen and wife is Chinese), our marriage certificate, Japanese ID, and residence registration all use her Maiden name and previous family name that is originally written on her passport. Both my children are us citizens with my last name. We intend to have my wife's ID in the US as her first name and her family name as my last name. However, Japanese law is very picky about documenting foreigners taking up different names other than Japanese. 1.) Do we use my wife's first name and my last name as her family name on #4 part 4 as a formality, or would the USCIS look at this as a discrepancy because all of our supporting documents say otherwise. Or would we have to put that on #5 as other names used. I know we will be facing this same situation on the ds260. 2.) Also on #57, it's instructing us to put her name if her Native language does not use romanized letters, but her passport has her name in both Chinese and romanized spelling. Trick question cause chinese can use letters in very special uses. But generally it doesn't. Again, big thanks to the community for the support!

Thanks for the reply! As far as the date filed, would I need to put the exact date the previous petition was approved? Because I can hardly remember the day, yet alone the month. This was more than 13 years ago, I never anticipated that I would have to go through this process again. Can this section be left blank or written as a close estimated date?

I will be sponsoring my spouse through consulate process in Tokyo and I'm stuck on part 5 of the I-130. I did petition my ex-wife more than 13 years ago via adjustment in the US, but I can hardly remember the filing date and where it was approved. What I can plug in for the dates filed and location? Also, would I need to plug in her maiden name as her family name, now that we have been divorced for many years? Or do they expect me to fill out names that we're used during that time period.
