Affidavid of support I864

[jessica1 0]

Hey there,

I hope I'm posting this at the right place.

I'm living in states about 10 years (I overstayed my visa) and recently got married to US citizen.

My question is about affidavid of support i-864.

If my husband makes less then 20.000 i heard its better to be sponsored by substitute sponsor - that shouldn't be a problem since my mother is a US citizen and makes more than 30.000.

Is that fine? or its better to put them as a co sponsors together? please help me!!!!!!

Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless You all!!!!!

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas forum as it appears the OP is going through the Adjustment of Status process, not the visa process.

great! but whats better? should my husband and mother be cosponsors? or just my mother be sub sponsor?

if there is co sponsors should both of them fill up separate i864? and what would be requirement with the income in that case?

by the way she doesnt have any dependents - the only one would be me in that case...

thank you for help!!!!!!

It doesn't matter as long as the requirement is satisfied by the metrics they use... (i.e. 125% of poverty limit etc.). There is nothing like your case will be stronger in one way or another. What is a sub sponsor anyway? If you are talking about a substitute sponsor, it is applicable only if original sponsor dies while your AOS is pending. So, it doesn't apply to you.

if there is co sponsors should both of them fill up separate i864? and what would be requirement with the income in that case?

Yes, each sponsor must file a separate I-864. Each joint sponsor must be able to satisfy requirement individually and NOT by combining their income.

by the way she doesnt have any dependents - the only one would be me in that case...

There is no better choice, you only have one choice to file since your husband does not meet the 125% poverty line.

As the petitioner, your husband must file an I-864 for you. It doesn't matter that he does not meet the 125% poverty line. He must file an I-864 for you.

Since your husband cannot meet the 125% poverty line, you will need a Joint Sponsor, your mother, to file a second I-864 for you. Your mother woul need to meet the poverty line for her household and you. It is only her income that will count since there is no combining of income for Joint Sponsor and petitioner.

No such thing as a "sub sponsor."
