JOINT SPONSOR VS HOUSEHOLD MEMBER

[CHILLTOWN_JC 0]

Good Evening All,

It has been a while since I have logged on. My wife (US Citizen) is petitioning her mother. Her mother's I-130 got approved, and we were given the NVC Case Number. I am assisting my wife with the Affidavit of Support. I am not sure what category I fall in Joint Sponsor or Household Member. My wife does not make enough so we will be using my income to assist in the Sponsoring. I have read online and I have gotten different reasons, on whether to be filing the I-864 or the I-864A. Can anyone assist? Thanks as always

hi

household member, you wife fills out the i864 as sponsor, you will fill out the i864A as household member, you live in the same house, you will need to attach proof of USC or LPR, proof or relationship, which can be copy of marriage certificate and proof of living at the same address

hello!

I want to ask you something regarding I-864. Well I am not employed for few years and thus didn't file any tax return . However my mother and her husband are joint sponsors for my husband and filed I-864A. My question is that on I-864 part 6 question 13 I have checked that I have filed the tax returns, shouldn't the answer be left blank? second question on part 6 question 13 a 1 the income should be 0 right? my attorney has my parents 1040 total income figure written there since I answered that I would be using their income under 6a. I am really confused about this, please clarify this, I don't know whether it's their total income that needs to be written there or mine which is "0". Furthermore, I am attaching my explanation why I didn't file any tax returns as I am living outside of the USA at the moment.

my second question my daughter is recently born outside of USA and has became US citizen due to being a child of US citizen. W hen i filed AOS initially she wasnt born and thus my house hold size was only 2 (me and my immigrant spouse). Now that has changed should I file another form of I-864 and change that number to 3 (me, my immigrant spouse and my daughter). Please advise me I don't want another checklist. And also do my parents need to make any changes in their I-864a. I have read somewhere that child born to a us citizen who automatically qualifies as US citizenship doesn't require any I-864. Please kindly response to these questions
