I-864 Joint Sponsor

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi,

My husband (USC) is a university student and he doesn't meet the AOS requirement. But his parents will help him file as the joint sponsors.

I would like to know what are the forms that we need to fill up? We know we need to prepare I-864 and I-864a but for who? He also has 3 siblings and his family meets the poverty guideline. Does he also have to include scholarship and grant as his income?

Thanks heaps in advance.

If the mom is the joint sponsor, but she is the dependent on the tax return, does the mom fill out the i864 and dad fill out i864a?

even though the husband makes 0 income and the sponsoring income comes from the wife?

on my parent's tax return, my dad's name is listed first, and my mom is listed as the 'spouse.' does that make the spouse the 'dependent'? I'm looking over their tax return and they list 2 on the exemption number but on the dependent names, there is nothing.

I see you got your NOA2 very quickly with CSC. Did the U.S. citizen file from abroad? If this is correct, please add your case to the thread linked below following the brief questionnaire format. We're trying to keep track of the couples who file from abroad and get approved quickly without any sort of expedite request, expedite due to natural disaster, etc. Thanks!
