This package provides expanded National Visa Center support for cases requiring preparation of two Form I-864 Affidavits of Support, together with NVC case assistance and case transfer assistance.
In other words, it combines preparation of the two Affidavits of Support with the NVC case and transfer-related assistance included in the offering. This makes the distinction between the two NVC options easy for customers to understand: The standard NVC option includes one I-864, while this expanded option includes two I-864 forms.
This offering includes preparation of two separate Affidavits of Support.
Form I-864 is the financial sponsorship document used in most family-based immigrant visa cases and creates legally enforceable obligations for the person who signs it.
When two forms are required within the scope of the case, information for each sponsor must be organized separately.
That can mean gathering the applicable household-size information, income details, employment information, tax-related information, and supporting financial evidence for each Form I-864.
The Department of State notes that a petitioner generally must submit the required Affidavit of Support even when another person serves as a joint sponsor.
Each person signing an Affidavit of Support should carefully review the completed form and the responsibilities associated with signing it.
At the NVC stage, immigrant visa pre-processing generally involves submission of required forms and supporting documentation before the case can proceed toward consular processing.
NVC may require the immigrant visa application, Affidavit of Support materials, financial evidence, and civil documents before the case is considered complete for the applicable stage.
The case-assistance portion of this offering is intended to help organize the NVC-related documentation and case matters included in the agreed scope.
When NVC identifies incomplete documentation, it can issue a correction request through CEAC.
This offering also includes assistance related to an applicable NVC case-transfer request.
Current Department of State guidance generally directs immigrant visa applicants to process in the consular district associated with their place of residence or, when requested, their country of nationality, subject to applicable rules and limited exceptions.
A person requesting a qualifying transfer may need to provide evidence of residence, nationality, or another basis supporting the request. NVC determines whether the requested transfer is permitted.
The preparation portion therefore focuses on organizing the information and documentation relevant to the transfer request rather than promising that a transfer will be granted.
This expanded option is appropriate when the defined document-preparation scope requires two separate Forms I-864 together with the listed NVC and case-transfer work.
Because sponsorship arrangements vary, customers who are unsure which NVC option fits their circumstances should contact the office before selecting one.
