Thanks for the quick response! This is what I was suspecting as well, even though my foreign income is expected to continue after we move. Will go ahead and upload a new I-864 based on assets alone to simplify the matter for them. We don't have any children and we did not list any other dependents, so I assume the second message is just some form of warning. Sadly they shut down all of their phone lines, this could have been resolved so quickly over a phone call...

Hi all, Hoping someone can clear this up for us: We submitted our documents to NVC last week and just received a response back today, with two messages stating: 1) "The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate." 2) "Please add BENEFICIARY as a Household Member under PETITIONER. All documents for BENEFICIARY should be submitted under their own name. Please submit US taxes for BENEFICIARY." 1. We both live abroad. 2. We filed the petitioners taxes as "Married, filing separately". 3. I (The beneficiary) does not have a US tax transcript/record - Why would I? 4. In the i864 we used assets to qualify, however both of our individual assets alone were more than the required amount to use assets to qualify. We also included our foreign income on the 864 (just to be on the safe side, even though I understand they typically don't take that into consideration). It was my understanding, that any qualifying assets/income that comes from the spouse beneficiary as part of the i864 does NOT require a separate i864-a form? Anyone here that can clarify what the NVC wants? Or should we just go ahead and upload a separate 864-a for the beneficiary? Many thanks! Almost there after so many months of waiting...
