Hi everybody,

We're sorta confused about the I-864 form. My husband (USC) is still a student, so he cannot sponsor me. But his mom and my brother (both USC) are willing to sponsor us/me. So which forms are they supposed to file? I read on internet that they are supposed to file I-864 A, but then on another website, it is the I-864... And since my husband cannot sponsor me, does he need to file I-864 or not??

Any advice would be really appreciated

Thank you

I am pretty sure that they should file as Joint Sponsors, using the I-864 form. My aunt is acting as my co-sponsor since I am living out of the country with my husband currently and therefore don´t have US income. My lawyer told me that my aunt would be a Joint Sponsor, as I mentioned above.

Each needs to file a separate I-864.

If the petitioner doesn't meet the 125% poverty guidelines and he/she is using a co-sponsor (who must meet that 125%) both of them must file a separate I-864. If the petitioner and co-sponsor live in the same address they must sign the contract I-864A and notarize it. The I-864 doesn't need to be notarized.
A suggestion, is that if your spouse didn't work in previous years, he can attach a explanation of unemployment letter, and he'll attach evidence of that like school's records.
Good luck

oo all rite...thanks everybody for your help
