I-864 Affidavit of Support Question

[MVM 1]

Would need a little help,as I know that even if my fiance had a sponsor on the start for the I-134 and I also needed to make my own copy does this go the same for the I-864?We have a person who will be the only sponsor and will fill the document but as I do not qualify do I also as the petitioner have to fill out one I-864?

Part 1. Basis for Filing Affidavit of Support.

1.a. Check Item Number "1.a." if you are the petitioner who is filing or who has already filed a Form I-129F for a fiancé
(e), Form I-130 for a family member, or Form I-600 or Form I-600A for an orphan. If you are the petitioner, you must
sponsor each intending immigrant.

1. Who Completes and Signs Form I-864?

A sponsor completes and signs Form I-864. A sponsor is required to be at least 18 years old and domiciled in the
United States, or its territories or possessions (see Part 4, Information on the Sponsor, Item Number 5. of these
instructions for more information on domicile). The petitioning sponsor must sign and complete Form I-864, even if a
joint sponsor also submits an I-864 to meet the income requirement.

Thank you Jay-Kay,I have read this before,my problem is that I have not have a domicile in the US a long time,lived in EU,I did fill the I-134 even if we had a sponsor so if the same person is again the same sponsor and fills out the I-864 do I again have to fill it out and attache the same letter to explain why my income in the US was zero?This is my concern,should I again fill out like the I-134 even if I am not the sponsor,any help?

Yes, as I quoted from the I-864 instructions: "The petitioning sponsor must sign and complete Form I-864, even if a joint sponsor also submits an I-864 to meet the income requirement."

There is no more I-134. You need an I-864, and your joint sponsor needs their own separate I-864. Yes, you each need to supply your most recent tax transcript, letter from employer and/or most recent pay stubs The joint sponsor also needs to provide proof of being a USC or LPR. (Page 4 #5 of the instructions). If you did not file for any or all of the last 3 years taxes, then you need to provide a statement as to why you were not legally required to file. (Page 6 # 7 of the instructions).
