I-134 residence problem

[limejello 0]

I've been reading more about the I-864 Affidavit of Support, and I know that in general for those of us filling out the I-134 for a fiancee visa, the same rules apply for both affidavits of support. Here's my problem: although I've been living in mexico, my principal residence is in the U.S., the same address that my mom has. I want to have my mom on as a co-sponsor (because I didn't make enough money), but I read that the primary sponsor and the co-sponsor can't live in the same house and fill out the same type of form (in the case of the I-864, anyway). Is this correct? This is really problematic for me if it's true!

The I-864 states:

Income from any relatives or dependents living in your household or dependents listed on your most recent Federal tax return who signed a Form I-864A;

this is under the section "What if I cannot meet the income requirements"

Can you please source where you saw

"I read that the primary sponsor and the co-sponsor can't live in the same house and fill out the same type of form (in the case of the I-864, anyway)"

You've misinterpreted the I-864 instructions but in any event, sponsor and co-sponsor each fill out an I-134 for a K visa case.

Awesome. Once again, thanks pushbrk.

I guess in my panicked state I misread/misinterpreted the instructions for this. It's not that the sponsor and co-sponsor can't *live* in the same house, but I know for the I-864 I read that if two people are under the same roof they can't be sponsor/co-sponsor per se, but the primary sponsor fills out the I-864 and others in the household who want their income considered would file an I-864A. But as far as being a separate sponsor/co-sponsor it can't be done, or am I still misinterpreting it? Pushbrk?

My reason for wondering if the same rules apply is that if I do an affidavit of support, I will list myself and my son. My mom would list herself and my brother. If we all have to be combined into one household because we all have the same address, that might be problematic.
