hi everyone

ok i am in the middle of completing the AOS forms but I have a question:

I am the immigrant and my new wife is the US citizen, she is a college student and makes no money, her father is gong to be the co sponsor. now we all live in the same house so am I correct in saying she fills out the I-864 and her father fills out the I-864A form?

also for question 21 on the I-864 does will part h "total household size" equal 3, me, her and her father?

thank you

enjoy weekend!!!

Father can provide an I-864A OR I-864

She only counts herself, and you on her I-864, and any dependents like her children if she has any.

You are counted as IMMIGRANT, NOT SPOUSE.

ok thanks for your reply!!

but which is better I-864A or I-864?

the I-864A is much shorter but is it better to fill in all the extra details on a I-864 for him?

also question 21 g says "If you have siblings, parents, or adult children withthe same principal residence who are combining their incomewith yours by submitting Form I-864A, enter the number here" so i said 1 for her father which makes a total of 3 not 2?

this form is a little confusing for me

I-864A is for a household member to combine their income to that of the sponsor, and yes if I-864 for the sponsor indicates to count the person providing the I-864A hen you count them.

I-864 can also be used, in this case parent will be a joint sponsor, and will be expected to exceed 125% povertyline when counting themselfe, the sponsored immigrant, and and dependents of joint sponsor.
