Confused about Joint-Sponsorship and Form I-864A?

[Hydey 0]

I have this going on... my wife and i live with her mother, my wife is going to be my sponsor and doesnt meet the poverty lines, her sister also lives in the house. Her mother is going to be her co-sponsor with the I-864a and she earns around 60k so its in the clear... will this be ok?

Hi FirmRich! That will be perfectly okay to have your mom-in-law as the co-sponsor. Your wife will fill up the form i-864 and add there the income of your mom-in-law. Then, your mom-in-law will fill up the form i-864a. Then, the following are the requirements to support the affidavit forms:

1. Most recent or past 3 years tax forms and w2s of your sponsors;

2. Their employment records or document showing their length of service, salary rate, position and hours worked per week;

3. To establish the relationship of your mom-in-law to your wife, include your wife's birth certificate on the attachments of the forms;

4. Lastly, mention and enumerate all these attachments to your cover letter.

Hope this helps. Good luck and God bless.

Thanks so much, by employment records/document do you mean up to date pay stubs? As it were...

oh, i forgot to include there the most recent pay stubs for the past 6 months.

The employment document that i was refering to is something like a certificate of employment.

I have almost similar situation but it's my future mother in law that's gonna sponsor me. She hasn't married my father in law but she lives in the same household and they getting married on april 2009 would it be ok for me to just have her fill out I-864A or she should fill out another I-864?
