Question about I-864 joint sponsor

Yes it is regarding the immigrant. It says "Part 2. Information on the a principal Immigrant" and on that Mailing Address Section the number is 2a, 2b, etc. so it's still part 2. You don't have to put your address until "Part 4. information on the Sponsor" I did mine that way, since I live in the U.S my address would be here in the U.S. If I lived in a foreign country then my address in foreign country would go there. I hope this clarifies your doubt. Mine was approved. Good luck!

Confused about 2007 taxes while having spouse under CR1

I got married in October of 2005. My father prepared my 2005 taxes for me, and marked that I was single. I spoke to someone from the IRS about it after the fact, and she said that it wasn't a big deal. She said that I could send in a form to amend it if I wanted to. I haven't bothered.

Confused about 2007 taxes while having spouse under CR1

I was temporarily living in England during last years tax period. My husband is a British citizen, and we lived there temporarily before relocating to America a few months ago. I called the IRS at the American embassy, and they told me to file as married, filing separately. They told me to put "NRA" for non resident alien in the spot where it says social security number for my husband. The woman from the IRS at the embassy told me that made the most sense, because as soon as my husband moved to America he'd be getting a social security number anyway. She told me that the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number would be a waste of time for my situation.

Before I spoke to this woman at the embassy, I called the IRS in America. They told me to fill out the W-7 Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number which you are all talking about. For me, in my situation, it was easier to put "NRA" on my taxpapers since my husband was getting a visa in a few months.

I don't know if this applies to your situation, but I thought I'd pass it on to you since it saved me a lot of stress!

Everything you need to file for AOS is available from the USCIS website, including the instructions & forms for I-864.

Maybe...maybe not.
I'm confused on this one because the OP timeline appears out of date.
If it's for a K-3....the I-864 should go through the embassy....in that case you can just download the form/instructions, fill and send.
If it's for an AOS from a K-3....then it's at USCIS and you can just download the form/instructions, fill and send.
If it's for a CR-1 at NVC...you will need a barcoded cover-sheet from NVC (or create yours with James Shortcuts), then download the form/instructions, fill and send.

K-3 at NVC????

PLEASE update your profile and timeline so we can give you the most accurate answers.

I have been trying to update my timeline, but not sure how it works. We did the K3 but my wife did not get her visa because I was below poverty last year and we could use co-sponsor. So now we are doing CR-1. Can we really create our own barcode to send I-864? Or do we have to wait for NVC to send it to us? Thanks

The problem for us is that we have a K3 interview date already setup for Oct 29th, so I'm really hoping we get assigned a date and papers make it to Moscow before that date, so we can switch interviews.

So...a question...I can't understand the operator answer.
The NVC says "we schedule interviews for the following month on the 2nd week of the month. We do not guarantee that the interview will be scheduled for the following month, depending upon availability".

Does this mean that if NVC is unable to schedule an interview for November they will keep the papers until 2nd week of Nov to wait and try to schedule them for December? Or will they just schedule for December in October and send the papers to the embassy?

we are the same again because my case was interview of k3 on august in bangkok, thailand but I have problem about uscis just changed about cant use joint-sponsor so that why we took cr1 because still use joint-soponsor and embassy acvise to me about that very good more k3 becasue when I gone to united state so I will gotten greencard, ssn and very save more k3.

I got bad luck but in the real time I got good luck too about cr1.

good luck for you too.

Thank a lot for all.

We're in the same boat as you. Our case was completed on 22nd, and operator told me that they do following month schedules on the second week of the month. WHich means that we have to wait until 2nd week of October to be scheduled and for papers to be mailed out to embassy.

Thank a lot, we are the same...still to wait....

What (if anything) to Include With I-129F

ALL,

I read the guide about K1 and it says to send 4 copies of the G-325A. But, some people here mentioned 1 copy is Ok. Exactly, how many copy should I send with the I-129F?

Thanks

Hello , I just happened to notice the Laos flag! I'm also petitioning my fiance in Laos. You only need to send 1 signed copy g-325a for you the petitioner and 1 g-325a signed copy of your fiancee beneficery.

That's 1 passport style photo of you, 1 passport style photo of your fiancee. If you dont have these photos, better go take them in laos, sign the forms in laos and send via Laos Express delivery. Good luck, let me know if you need anything!

Update - My I-129f was accepted 3/26th with my response to the RFE.

LESSON learned and hopefully someone in the foreseeable future can use this info.

When you want to marry you second cousin, I guess you have to write an extra INTENT to marry in whatever state your living in. Since some states do not allow first cousin marriages but mostly all allows second cousin marriages. I guess you also have to write an Affidavit, swore statement signed by at least 2 people, 3 preferred and explain how you come to be related. I think it helps to create a family tree since in some cultures, kinship, lineages are viewed differently. Anyway, THANK YOU all for you response.

So, if you already sent your response (sounds like a good one pretty much what I suggested) then I'm confused as to the purpose of starting this thread. However, if denied, you won't get away with starting over and lying, as they'll reference this petition and its correspondence. Bad idea. Nobody expects you to be happy about the situation you find yourself in but you have two choices, to comply as best you can or give up. Sounds like you made the right choice.

I was hoping that someone fell into the same situation and resolved, provided the proper evidence.
USCIS does not exactly tell you want they consider EVIDENCE.
I hope I'm not the only one who has ever faced an RFE like this.

I would take a systematic approach while doing all you can to remove the emotion from the process. All you can do is all you can do but you must do ALL you CAN do. First determine what documentation IS available and provide that. If none or insufficient to demonstrate exactly how you are related, then draft a letter as professionally as possible to explain as many details of the family tree and/or how your parents came to conclude the relationship. Have them sign this letter before a Notary and send it. You might want to read the petition instructions regarding "unobtainable documents" and apply those standards.

Here's the kind of detail you'll need to provide.

SHE is the daughter of my Mother's Uncle, John Doe. So, then for example, your mother would sign a notarized statement indicating the relationship and explaining why no documentation is available. If you don't feel competent to produce such a document, ask for help.

Thanks for the responses. You know the process (ROAD BLOCK)is not easy. Having to explain to my fiance who's in a 3rd world country is not easy and very discouraging. I don't even want to mention the roadblock to her.

Also, If you read the RFE carefully. It fully states "Evidence may include birth documents for both the petitioner and his/her fiance". The word "May"? Well, first of all. We already obtained her birth certiciate last month. HOW does this prove we are related? I don't own a BF but I a US citizen. Family registry? NOT! Do we even have those in the USA? Sorry, I'm just very discourage right now.

I've already sent my RFE and it was received, noted the petition is back for review. I hope to receive a response sometime soon. I basically wrote a professional letter stating the lineage tree, information on how my fiance and I are related. How my family history came to be, Why we are here in the US and my mother's side of the family is in Lao. How difficult it would be to prove we are second cousins living half a world apart. Signed by parents and submitted.

Looking back, I think It was best to just LIE and say we had no relations and continue to LIE. If I get denied, I'm would have to re-petition and answer "NO" on question 17. Thanks for your comments.

In this case the person handling your petition is not a "jerk", but doing his/her job correctly based on the information you provided.

You answer your own question in your post under "relationship", as "Birth Documents, Family Registries, Marriage Certificates".

Not sure how difficult it may be for you to obtain the pertinent background information to show these relationships, but it appears you have a bit of a challenge at hand.

Hopefully some others who have had a similar instance can provide some insight on what options you may have as far as providing other documents and what may be acceptable to show this relationship.

If you had selected "none" and a relationship issue came up down the road you would be stuck in the same boat and needing the documentation at the interview level. Better to address it honestly and correctly now to avoid potential issues down the road.

Because you have indicated that you are related they need to verify the degree of relationship. I believe from some resources that I read that all states in the USA permit the marriage of 2nd cousins - so that is not the problem. The problem is for you to prove the degree of relationship.

Hope everything works out.

I agree he/she is doing their job. However, I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand in 1975. I will never sniff a birth certificate or be able to obtain any documentation to proof we are 2nd cousins. She is from Laos, the neighboring country. How do I even go about obtaining such proof except for obtaining DNA or something from some 3rd world country. My parents are refugees from War torn country laos in 1970s. Families were split apart back then and never reunited. USCIS should at least understand that having to proove our kinship from the 70's is far, far away from being easy. Hopefully maybe someone who is petitioning for brother, sister or uncle, aunt and chime in.

Hello guys.
I received an RFE on the 11th of March. Finally got the hard copy on the 22nd. That 11 full days of (bs).
Anyways, on the I-129f, question 17. Is your fiance related to you. Being honest and truthful! I put down as 2nd cousin. I also explained in on the I-129f question 18 on a supplement document how we are related.

NOW the jerk who's handling my petition wants proof that we are related. ####### am I suppose prove we are related other then my parents word? I simple dont get it? Here is the exact request.

Relationship: How are you related to your fiance. For example, are you first cousins. Second Cousins? Please submit evidence to demostrate the degree of the relationship between you and your fiance. Evidence may include birth documents for both the petitioner and his/her fiance, family registries, marriage certificates, etc.

How am I going to proof anything other then writing a statement and having my parents sign it? Please help me if you can. I realize by filling out another I-129f and answering question 17 as NONE can also do the job, bypass this RFE. However, how truthful is that BS?

ADVISE FOR K1-VISA

You only need 1 G-325a for you. 1 G-325a for you finance. That means 1+1 = 2 G-325a to be sent with your I-129f petition.

Your finance's documents (birth cert, divorce papers, etc.. does not need to be sent along with your I-129f petition.

I-129f petitioning fiance's adopted child question

I'm no expert here but the answer points to obtaining a new Lao Family Registry Booklet. Every family has one. Therefore if your fiancee adopts a child, he/she should have one. You can have this done, or inquire with you fiance's village chief or hire someone to assist your fiancee for a fee.

When you fill out the I-129f, make sure you include your fiancee's children's name under Part B, question 13.
The success rate is as good as anyone without a child. The legal proof you need is from the Lao government documents such as the above (Lao Registry Book), child birth certificate. GL
