Hi guys,

My wife is a student and works part time (only totally $7,000 a year).

Her father has filled out an i-864 and her wife an i-864a which is well over the required amount.

However, i know my wife (as the petitioner) need to file her own i-864 but I'm a bit lost as to what to put under the tax returns. If i put her $7000, then do i need to fill out all the information underneath (assets - which are practically none) etc.

It seems fairly pointless and academic, but maybe we still need to do it? Also there is not checkbox for saying we have a joint sponsor so how will they know? (Other than the other i-864 put underneath my wife's?)

It is a requirement for her to fill it out and sign the oath that she will be responsible for you with even her small income. That responsibility lasts, so a few years from now she may earn more. She does not have to list her assets. They will know there is a joint sponsor by seeing it in the stack of papers.

There is a place to indicate her current income/job, which may be different from her 2012 tax return income. She also must include a copy of her 2012 tax return. If she didn't file because that's not enough income to require filing, then she must Include a signed statement saying why she was not required to file.

Read the full instructions for the I-864 so you don't miss any details.
