Question about sponsors

[hippohippo 0]

Hi everyone, my first time posting here as I've been lurking around the forums for awhile. I'm from Sweden and my husband is the US citizen

It is finally my turn to apply for AOS and I am currently really overwhelmed by these applications, my husband recently decided to go back to pursue a second degree and therefore quit his job so currently he does not make enough to sponsor me, we decided to use his father as a joint sponsor anyone know if the sponsor will be contacted either by mail or phone? He agreed to sponsor us but he did not wish to be bothered.

Also does he have to fill in both the i-864 and i-864a? How much proof of his income do we need to submit? We were only planning to send in a copy of his passport and copies of the past 3 years of tax return papers is that enough??

Thank you guys, I am so stressed over this sponsor thing, my student visa is expiring in a couple of weeks and finals weeks are coming up.. ugh

I-864 is what both your husband and your joint sponsor will fill out. Yes a copy of the passport or birth certificate together with the taxes for the last year's should be fine. My joint sponsor actually only sent in taxes for one year and that was fine.

My husband on the other hand sent in his for the last 3 year's.

Your joint sponsor won't be bothered at all.

if the father stays with u then am guessing it will be i864a but if not then its i864. they will not call the man but make sure u put the right documents and have him sign the form. u will need is proof of citizenship, and may be with a driving license, then irs transcript, w2, pay stubs and ur good to go.
