Why would the children get $1250 each per month benefits? What is that for?

Thanks for this! Hopefully nothing else is needed. Child is 13 yo.

Thanks, he is 13 and Police Cert required for 15 or 16 yo I believe. Bio father was from another country and bailed on Mother. Never listed on B.C. No idea where he is.

I've already submitted documents for Immigrating Spouse's I-864 and DS-260, which documents are needed to submit for Stepchild for DS-260? I've already uploaded his I-864. What other documents are required for an immigrating child with Mother? I know I need to Submit: 1. Passport Bio Page 2. Birth Certificate 3. Passport Photo 4. ????? 5. ????? 6. ????? 7. ????? I've already read the NVC's page, but don't see anything else than what I've already uploaded above. Am I missing anything?

Thank you, yes I've already seen those requirements, but anything else than what I've shown above? The father of the child was never recognized at birth because he bailed and wanted nothing to do with the child. He's not listed on B.C. and probably not in country.

Thank you so much for answering my questions in detail. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for answering my question.

Hello, did you have to file separate I-130's and I-864's on all of them? If so, how was the family size computed for them on page 4, step 5, 1-8? Did you have to submit this on all of the step-children? What about supporting evidence? Thanks for any advice!

I married another pinay as well in late 2021 and am petitioning her and her son to the US. But this time I lived with her first in the Philippines for over 2 years and got to know her really well before coming back to the US, then marrying her online during covid. She's a wonderful lady, has had a difficult life, with lots of up and downs, but has stayed grounded. She was ok with me staying in the Philippines or coming to the US. I tried living there after selling all of my US possessions, but it just wasn't for me, especially for the medical care, which I need here in the US.

I've been through an almost similar situation, I visited a pinay 3 times prior to bringing her to the US on a fiancé Visa. I had 2nd thoughts (red flags) though at every critical time though, something just didn't seem right. I visited her each time for 3-5 weeks at a time. Her family, Mother mainly, kept pushing her to get me to buy property, which I didn't, luckily. I did buy them a side car for the brother's tricycle though, and helped with a small side business, which wasn't much and eventually failed. We twice stayed in her province in Mindanao and the the last time in Manila to get her through the interview. I kept seeing little problems in Manila though, where I seen her temper come out on occasion. At the interview, I kept going back and forth with my thoughts if I wanted everything to go through or not. I almost decided to tell the immigration officer to just cancel the petition but instead decided to go through with it anyways which ended up being a big mistake in the long run. This was strike #1. Then she came to the US, times were sometimes good and sometimes we had problems. Her Mom kept asking for her to send money, which at that time, she wasn't working. I didn't mind helping out some though as I knew she needed to help. Her father had been and is still living in the US for 20 years and not helping out much at all. I seen similar issues as when in the Philippines with her, but between 2-3 months decided to marry, because of all of the time and money spent to that point.This was strike #2. After green card things starting getting worse, she started working, would start buying Gucci, Louis Vuitton and always showing off to others, taking pictures all of the time, kind of like bragging about all of her things, all while never helping out with any of the home finances or anything. Eventually, I decided to buy a house, which she was a good housewife, excellent cook and all. Things were going ok, though little ups and down with anger times, especially when drinking. She would drink especially late at night and got meaner and meaner as the night went on. Eventually fearing for my life after not wanting to do anything with her sexually. I started pouring alcohol down the drain, wasting money as well. This was strike #3 She was working as a caregiver for her Aunt's husband's mother making great money at this point. After awhile, I couldn't take it anymore and planned on getting out through divorce. I had to split the profit of the house with her at this point, she ended up with $28,500 cash, me paying for her taking a CNA course and I ended it. All of her money was gone in 8 or 10 weeks. She visited the Philippines having parties, came back to the US, buying more new purses which later, ended up getting stolen. I also didn't mention taking her on a cruise, buying her fancy jewelry earlier. All of this jewelry, along with her expensive wedding set she had pawned twice and I had to eventually save from losing, the last time I kept everything. She had no emotional ties to her wedding rings. After our divorce in 2015, she started having seizures, and in 2020 was diagnosed with a tumor in her brain, stage 3 cancer, she's had 2 surgeries since. She is living with a guy, back to work part-time. She told me recently that if not for me bringing her to the US, she would now be dead. Now for the important part, which I just found out a couple of weeks ago. When talking with her, I figured out that she has worked about 30 quarters, give or take a few. I watched a video a couple of weeks ago from an attorney coaching immigrants about their rights, in case of divorce, that the US citizen sponsor is responsible for around $1400 per month of back support if they were low income or out of work at any time up until she becomes a US citizen, dies, loses her GC status or works for 40 quarters. I had thought I would only become liable if she became a public charge and had to repay the government, which is not true. There's a little loophole that these attorney's have found to make money off of the sponsors. She now has an attorney, which is going to help her with her citizenship paperwork which also advised her about the money she could get from me. Which she told me she wouldn't seek. Hopefully she's telling me the truth. I would advise the OP to seriously consider what he's doing before the leap!

What I'm wondering if I listed the questionnaire correctly in answering 1-8 on wife's and stepson's I-864? Wife's DS-260: 1. 1 Wife 2. 1 Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 total dependents On Stepson's DS-260: 1. 1 Stepson 2. 1. Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 Total dependents

What I'm wondering if I listed the questionnaire correctly in answering 1-8 on wife's and stepson's I-864?

The Ex-wife I have to include since she only has around 30 quarters of taxable work in the US, I believe.

I meant to say, on I-864 Part 5, family size, instead of DS-260!

Hello, if an I-130 and separate I-864's, On Part 5 on the I-864, how do you add up the family size on each form? Wife's DS-260: 1. 1 Wife 2. 1 Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 total dependents On Stepson's DS-260: 1. 1 Wife 2. 1. Me 3. 0 4. 0 5. 0 6. 1 Ex-wife 7. 0 8. 3 Total dependents Does anyone know if this is the correct way to file this?

Hello, if an I-130 and separate I-864's, On Part 5 on the I-864, how do you add up the family size on each form? On my Wife's, I list 1 in No. 1, 1 in No. 2, I have to list 1 in No. 6, which totals 3 in No. 8. On Stepson, I think I'm supposed to list the same, but I'm not sure. That would show, Item No. 8 with 3 total on each. I'm wondering if this is the correct way to do the I-864? Sorry, I meant Part 5.

When are they going to drop this ridiculous requirement for Immigrant visas coming to the US! Mother and stepchild are wanting to avoid this.

Ok, great. Thank you

Thank you. I may not have access to one of my returns. I have never received a 1099 R for VA, just for SS.

Thanks, I only have my tax transcripts and I see only the $502 in the Total income as Chancy stated. @3,340 in SS benefits, $12,950 in standard deduction, and $501 as Taxable Interest Income. Also AGI is $502.

Thanks for your answers, I will add this.

Ok, thank you for this answer, which is what I read, but makes no sense to me since it shows my Total income in 2022 is only $502!
