I-864/I-864A question

[mrs. mojo 0]

Here's my situation...

My husband (British/USC) and I (Filipino) is in the UK right now. Both of us has full time job. My husband decided that he wanted to go back to the US end of this year or early next year, he is planning to file for my I-130 petition by May, 2011.

Here's my question... part of the the requirement for I-130 is form I-864/864A (affidavit of support)... my husband is working abroad for the last 5-6 years(he does file his ITR for the US) so when we do go to the US technically he will be unemployed. We will be staying with my mother-in-law when we come back to the US, for she owns a 4 bedroom house and is currently living there alone. Who then would need to fill up the form I-864/864A? My husband (who doesn't have a job in the US, but just have a bit of savings) or my mother-in law (who has a job and a house in the US)?

Thanks so much in advance in reading my post/question

Hi Mrs. Mojo, we're on the same boat about the I-864/I-864A but different circumstances. The consular advised my husband to fill-out the I-864 even if he's not employed in the US. Your mom-in-law will fill-out the other form as the Joint Sponsor.

Your husband need to file I-864 and his mom file I-864A as a sponsor if he doesnt reach the minimum amount of income. Good luck.
