Help Filling Out i864 Form!

[gvanderford 0]

Hi All,

My wife and I are confused about how to fill in the i864 form. Our situation is the following: I am an American citizen from Idaho and my wife is Vietnamese. We were married here in Vietnam almost 1 year ago and have already filed the i130 and are waiting for approval (it's been about 3.5 months since we submitted). Due to my status as a graduate student and to keep things simple, my grandmother will be the financial sponsor and needs to fill out the i864 form. From what I understand both she and I will fill this form in. What I am confused about is how to classify each of us in section 1. and 6. From what I understand I am the petitioner but does that also make me a joint-sponsor even though my grandmother is is the financial sponsor? What box do I check? And does my grandma as the sponsor check "I am the only joint sponsor" or "I am the first of two joint sponsors" with myself as the other joint sponsor?

For section 6. since I am the petitioner but not necessarily I think I don't need to fill in my financial information. Is this correct? Anyway guidance here would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you to any responses in advance.

you both have to fill out forms on your form you are the petitioner so you tick that box. your grandma is the joint sponsor if she is the only one helping with sponsorship she ticks the box that says only joint sponsor. you still have to fill out question 6 about your financial

Correct. USC is the Petitioner and Grandma is the only joint sponsor. However, this is posted in the K3 forum and the OP's profile says K3. The I-864 is not used for a K3 visa. Please correct the profile to indicate either CR1 or IR1 as the correct visa category and post remaining questions in the CR1/IR1 forum.

Thanks for confirmation of information Pushbrk. I've changed my profile to reflect the CR-1 instead of K-3 and will switch forms

I meant switch "forums"
