Hello, first time poster. Please bear with me as I am not familiar with the lingo.
I am petitioning immigrant visas for both my mom and dad. I already filed the I-130, one for each one of my parents, and that was approved. The plan is for them to immigrate together, and live with me, in my house.
I am currently filling out form DS-260, which needs to be one for each one for my parents. So they do have two different NVC numbers.
My confusion is with the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). The NVC now has an online portal called the CEAC. Originally I thought I had to file one I-864 for each one of them, but the online portal only allowed me to pay it once for both of them, which means I only need to file it one time for both of them?
Is this correct that is only one affidavit even tho they have two different NVC numbers?
What it is confusing is that the form for the affidavit states not to include any relative with a separate "visa petition". Well, they do have two different NVC numbers, so I dont know what they mean by different "visa petition".
If it can be only one affidavit, I will be listing my father as the principal immigrant, and my mother (who is immigrating with him at the same time) as the additional family member.
I have more questions, but for now, getting this clarification will help me a lot. Thank you so much for reading.
