I-864 Help

[Chez&Rick 11]

Im gonna use my sister as a co sponsor, first question is, is the I-864A still the same old form for the Co Sponsor? and second question, on the I-864 am i filling out block 1a.? or am i filling out 1e. and checking the box that says "first"? You can only have one selection, i assumed i would check block 1a but im just playing it safe til i know for sure. Keeping in mind that i do have a co sponsor. Any help would be appreciated Thank you in advance

Ok i just went through this, sent it all in a week ago, haven't heard anything from NVC yet soo hopefully someone who's more experienced can chime in...

You will choose 1a because you are the petitioner. 1e is if you have more then one sponsor. If only your sister is going to be your sponsor then she will choose 1d.

If your sister isn't claiming you on her tax info as a dependent or vice versa and both of ya'll have different addresses, then she doesn't do 864a and should do 864 only.

Once again let me state i dont know what i'm talking about, but i do know what i'm talking about.

She does not claim me on her tax info, and we have same address, so she fills out the 864A right? and thanks for the help i really appreciate it, and good luck to you

She should file I-864, NOT I-864A; just because you live at the same address does not mean you are financially dependant on eachother, which is what I-864A implies.

Ok, now im confused im sorry. I check box 1e? and not 1a? and if i check box 1e am i checking the box that says "first" along with it? and since my sister is helping me sponsor my wife she fills out I-864 and checks box 1d? , and does not fill out I-864A? I'm currently unemployed and start work in July but do not rely on my sisters income.Sorry for sounding dumb, and thank you for help again for any help

You do NOT check 1e, you check 1a. You and your sister, both of ya'll, will fill out a I-864.

No one will do a I-864A, unless your sister is married

and does her taxes jointly with her husband

and they live in the same address

and your sister wants to use his income on her I-864, in that case your sisters husband will fill out I-864A.

Ok thank you very much for the info, she does have her husband name on her income taxes but he is in prison so im assuming they dont share income lol. But thank you, me and my sister both fill out I-864, i will check 1A and my sister will check 1D on her I-864? just one final time to make sure
