I-864 Joint sponser question

[moderntool 0]

Hello all.

My new wife and I are filling out the forms to adjust her status to permant resident (I-864, I-435). We just married on the K-1 fiance visa.

I will use my father for a joint sponser as I dont show income on my tax returns (self emploeyed). I do have plenty of assets though. Do I name him as the #1 sponser, and me #2? Do I show zero income but still fill out the assets page etc? If he does not live in the household, is that a problem?

A sample set of joint sponser sheets would be helpful as well.

THANKS SO MUCH

There are no "joint sponsor sheets". The petitioner is always the primary sponsor. You and your father would each follow the I-864 instructions and provide an I-864 and supporting documentation. If your liquid assets are more than three times the minimum income requirement, you probably don't need a joint sponsor though. The I-864 instructions are excellent. I suggest you begin by carefully studying them.

So there is no problem if he is not in the same household? The instructions are a bit confusing about this.

My assets are plenty, but do you recommend I use a joint sponser as well just to be sure?

Thanks

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH A QUESTION? I AM CURRENTLY LIVING IN BRAZIL AND I AM GOING TO START THE VISA PROCESS FOR MY WIFE. I KNOW WE WILL NEED A JOINT SPONSOR. MY SISTER DOESN'T EARN ENOUGH ALONE BUT I WAS WONDERING IF BOTH MY FATHER AND SISTER COULD BE THE JOINT SPONSORS FOR WIFE TOGETHER? THEIR COMBINED INCOME WOULD BE ENOUGH. THANK YOU.
