I-864 joint sponsor

Hi Vj's

I'm a bit confused as to how to correctly fill out form I-864. I'm currently unemployed due to the fact that I'm pregnant, so I'm having a joint sponsor which is my sister. Should I put myself as the main sponsor or just have my sister fill out the form. Do we need form I-864A? Thanks in advance!

you have to file a i864 regardless, even if you make $0 income as sponsor. if your sister doesn't live with you she will file another 1864 as joint sponsor.

Thanks Aleful. We do live together, so will she need to fill out the i-864a instead?

It works the same as the I-134 you both needed for CDJ. You will each fill out your own I-864. She should not use the I-864A because that is for combining her income with yours, and you have no income right now, so that is not needed. You fill out your I-864 and mark a. for part 1. Your sister will fill out her own I-864 and mark d. for part 1.

THANK you so much!
