Hello everyone,
I am in the trouble. I got stucked with I-864. My mother, ( US citizen since 1976 ) submitted petition for alien relative I-130 four and a half years ago and the petition was approved.
Before I proceed ,here are few informations that may be relevant:
-My mother lived in the US for eight and a half years (1969-1977)
-I was born in 1978
-I came to US on tourist visa (B1/B2 - valid for 6 months) in March 2000 and left in February 2001 back home(I did no law violations, and I've properly extended my visa for another 6 months)
-My mother filed I-130 in January 2001
-Petition was aproved in September 2004 and classified as F1 (family first preference)
Immigrant number is available for my case since February 2005, I think. The problem is I-864. My mother (she is disabled person) doesn't live in the US for the last 28 years so neither she has "domicile" nor she can be my only sponsor(no income in the US). Although, she is planning to go back to US soon. And "joint sponsor" seems to be hard to find these days...
(all those "dear cousins" who were there when they needed us and to which we borrowed sh*t load of money once, now don't seem to be willing to give a hand...)
Is there any way that I could benefit from 245(i) ? Do persons who file I-485 also need Affidavit of Support?
What should I do? ANY thougts or opinions are wellcome!
