Hello!

We just started to fill out my application for my AOS and have a question about the Affidavit of Support form (I-864).

My husband (US Citizen) just started business school and as a student doesn't meet the minimum income requirement.

My father-in-law will be the joint sponsor and fill out the I-864 form.

So here are my questions:

Does my husband still need to fill out the I-864 form as my petitioner even if he currently has no income?

Or should my father-in law be the only person to fill out a I-864 form?

We don't live in the same household than my in laws so they don't need to fill out the I-864A form, am I correct?

Looking forward to your answers :)

Thank you.

Yes. They both must complete their own form.

Thank you for your answer!

So both my husband and father-in-law filled out a I-864 form, my husband as the petitioner and my father-in-law as the only joint sponsor.

However, Part 3 question 1 is confusing us:

I am sponsoring the principal immigrant named in Part 2:

Yes or No (Applicable only in cases with two joint sponsors)

For my father-in-law, there is no problem, the answer is yes.

However, as my husband is a student, he is not sponsoring me financially so our first thought was to answer no, but apparently it is not applicable in our case as we only have one joint sponsor and not two.

Any thoughts or ideas on this?

Thank you.

Your husband is the petitioning sponsor and your father-in-law is the only joint sponsor. Answer is yes. Your husband does not need sponsorship as he is a US citizen.

The I-864A only needs to be filled out if your father-in-law puts his income together with his wife's income.

My mother-in-law co-sponsored me. Her and her husband have been married for 43 years, joint tax returns, 4 properties in both

their names. It was just easier for us to disclose everything together in the I-864 for her and the I-864A for her husband, to make

all numbers match up with the numbers in the tax returns.
