Re: I-864W Question

I am the USC parent and the kids are the only ones immigrating. My wife already has permanent residency.

I-864W Question

Hello all,

I'm filling out these forms for each of my kids (6 & 3 years) and I realize that it's a form to exempt you from the full blown I-864, but I would still have expected the need for some...

Thanks Ian,

Are you saying I should continue to go down the citizenship route? It wasn't clear in your last post :D

I think you're right dreamercon.

One tenuously related question, do you know how I would go about proving that I lived in the US for 5 years prior to age 14. I probably did but moved around a LOT...

The kids are definitely NOT USC's and I'm not going to submit an AOS package for them. The $10k came from my first call to USCIS when they listed all of the forms required and fees for each (x 3)....

Re: Running out of time!!

The $10k figure was for the whole family submitting the full AOS package (1 each x 3). The kids have UK passports but, I believe, can apply for US passports if I can show that I've lived in the USA...
