i-864 clarification. Does being a student count as unemployed? (and a question about AoS packet)

[VisaHelpPlease 2]

As per the title, in part 6, my husband (the petitioner) has been a student for the past few years. I'm assuming that makes him count as being unemployed, for the sake of this form, but just wanted someone to confirm.

Additional question:

We have a joint sponsor. Although we haven't started putting all the packets together, I just wanted to know if we put our joint sponsor's forms and documents in with the petitioner's AoS package or if there's a seperate cover page and check list for joint-sponsors. I know they all have to be submitted together, just wondering for organization sake.

Thanks! You guys are the best!

My husband didn't work for 3 years required of the form, so $0 income for most recent thee years, as a student soulf be same situation so I assume he didn't work; anyways, your petitioner still has to file I-864 form and also the joint sponsor, another I-864. I put petitioner's I-864, birth certificate, statement for wich he didn't file for taxes and then I-864 for joint sponsor, birth certificate and proof of income.

Yes, everything goes together in one packet, including the supporting docs for the IV

Being a student does not always means a person was unemployed. A lot of people work while going to college. Unemployed means a person did not work. It does not matter if they were a student or not.

yes you should send everything in one packet

I assume the poster meant the spouse just did classwork without having a gainful activity to generate money. If in fact he made some money and received a W2 then he was employed but just couldn't make enough for the AOS sake.
