Hi,

I also got a CP interview appointment in chennai next in August.

My documents are already at consulate. But I'm worried about adding all the documents for spouse for the consular interview to get her gc also. An exchange with the consulate confirmed that she can attend the interview with me.

A question I have is - do EB applicants have to file I-864 (affidavit of support) to sponsor their spouse ?

On I-864 form, it says :
EB immigrants in cases only when a US citizen or lawful permanent resident relative filed the immigrant visa petition or such a relative has a significant ownership interest (5 percent or more) in the entity that filed the petition.

What does this mean ? My petition was filed by my employer which is a big company. So it's not directly a US citizen, so I guess I don't have to fill it out. Can someone please confirm ??

Thanks!
 
I - 134 needed

I 864 is only for family based CP interview (as far as I know).
Your wife is a derivative of your employment based interview. so you would need to file i-134 refer to the consulate website for details. Both Mumbai and Chennai have considerable details on how to prep for the interview
