I-864 or I-864a

[Danielb4643 0]

Hi.

I am applying to AOS after getting married last week under a K-1!

Now, My now wife(!) does not meet the 125% etc etc therefore her father (my father in law) has agreed to add his income in as another sponser to help us out, we are just not sure whether they BOTH fill out an I-864 or whether Sami (wife) fills out one and Frank (father in law) fills out only the I-864a.

Any information would be great.

Thank you all!

Both fill out 864s unless your father in law lives in the same household as you, then he would fill an 864a.

To clarify, his income can only be added to your wife's if they live in the same household. Otherwise, he needs to meet 125% of the poverty guidelines for his household plus you on his own.

He lives in the same household currently. A temporary arrangement until we can begin our life together! So we fill out 1 864 and 1 864a, that's great!

The I864 looks horrible, quite confusing, getting really stumped by the number in the household part, there are 4 but following the guidelines I count up to 5!!!! It's because I get counted twice, the spouse and the intended immigrant....

If anyone cam help with that, cool

Cheers and best wishes to all!

Do not count anyone twice, as it says on the form. You are the sponsored immigrant, and not the spouse in this case. See the example form: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-864.pdf

Thank you all so much! 1 more spanner that I hope requires an easy yes/no.

I came here on a i-129f k1 visa and we are now married and completing the i-485, we do not need to ALSO do an i-130 do we?
