LPR mother-in-law petitioning child; I am co-sponsor

[nm123 0]

I am a USC. My mother-in-law lives with my husband and me, and she is an LPR. She has petitioned her daughter to live with us, and she (mother-in-law) is unemployed so I will be the joint sponsor (my husband's income alone does not fall in the minimum income guidelines, but mine does). The NVC Welcome Letter has arrived. My question is about the financial documents and understand that she should fill out the I-864 and that I will be filling out the I-864A. Will I also be filling out a form I-864?

Also, how would she fill out the I-864 regarding household size (Part 5)? My husband and I file jointly and included her in our taxes for 2014 since she lives with us. For her I-864, should she fill out Part 5 as shown below, specifically questions 7 & 8?:

hi

no, she will fill out an i864 as sponsor and you will fill out another i864 as joint sponsor

even if you live in the same house you are not related by blood, if your husband would be the household member then he would fill out the i864A because it is a mother son relationship and they have to prove the relationship between sponsor and household member by his birth certificate

since you aren't related, you have to file an i864 as her joint sponsor

these are 2 separate households, even if you live in the same house

so your mother in law and her daughter is one household, and if she's married then your father in law would be included

and you and your husband is another household, and if you both have children you would include your children on your i864

hi

now if your husband is filling out a form because you are combining income then it is different

your mother In law will file the i864, your husband another i864 as her joint sponsor and you file the i864A as your husband's household member

or do you make enough to cover your family plus the beneficiary and you won't be needing your husband's income?

there cannot be 2 i864A

Thank you!

Yes I make enough to cover my family and won't need my husband's income. So my mother in law and I will both fill out separate I-864s.

Also - I am currently the joint sponsor from when my husband petitioned her to the US. He filled out an I-864 and I filled out the I-864A. We file taxes jointly and include her as a dependent. When I fill out my I-864, do I count her anyway in my household? My household is: me, husband, 2 kids, and mother-in-law? And her I-864 is 2 (her & daughter she is petitioning)?
