I864: does the sponsor has to be a household member?

I'm the applicant and my wife is the U.S. citizen. We want to include my mother in law to sponsor us but she doesn't live with us. Can we still use her as out sponsor?

I notice USCIS says the sponsor has to be a household member but I don't know if I understand it correctly because I see lots of people using their parents as sponsor even if they don't live with them.

If I can use my mother in law, do I need to resubmit i864 or i864a?

Your input is much appreciated

hi

no, read the instructions of the i864

the i864A is for household members

a joint sponsor can be any LPR or USC that qualifies

the joint sponsor for my petition was a friend

the petitioner files an i864 and the joint sponsor files another i864

Your wife has to be your sponsor. You mother in law will be your co-sponsor then, she doesn't have to live in the same house.

The mother would be a joint sponsor, not a household member. She would need to meet the requirement for her own household size plus you, then immigrant. If she meets the requirement, then she fills out her own separate I-864, provides her supporting documents plus proof of being a USC or LPR.

Your wife still fill out her own I-864 too, as the USC petitioner is always the primary sponsor and must submit an I-864.
