Affidavit of Support

[SimonM 0]

Hello everyone,

I am filing for my wife. My parents are going to be our sponsor since I am still a student. I think it's clear that we have to file form I-864 and possibly I-864A. Can anyone clarify this for me? Who fills out which forms? Me? My wife? My parents?

Also, I paid the AOS fee but NVC hasn't sent me the I-864 form. I have to wait for them to contact me before I can submit it right?

Thanks,

Simon

I have figured out that I'm the sponsor.

Now the question is, are my parents "Joint-sponsors" or "Household members"? We are filing using their address as we are living in Ukraine currently.

You file the I-864 as primary sponsor.

One of your parents (usually the dad- whoever makes more money) files another I-864, and the other parent files a I-864A.

You> I-864 as petitioner/sponsor

Parent> I-864 as joint sponsor

Other Parent> I-864A as household member of joint sponsor

Hi! I have a couple of questions that are in the same vein as the OP's question:

1) Does the houshold member of the joint sponsor count as another joint sponsor (this is regarding Part 1. of i-864, where the JS has to choose between "I am the only joint sponsor" and "I am the first/second of two joint sponsors")

2) Does the one making the most money have to be the one filing i-864? In my case, my mother in law makes more, but she completed i-864

No. The one filling out the I-864A is a household member of the joint sponsor who fills out the I-864 and not another joint sponsor.

2) Does the one making the most money have to be the one filing i-864? In my case, my mother in law makes more, but she completed i-864

No. Usually the one that makes more fills out the I-864 and then the other the I-864A, but it does not matter and is not a requirement.
