Hi my name is Germaine, I am a u s citizen trying to sponsor my husband.. My attorney messed up my case by sending the I 134 affidavit vs sending the 864. I am at the final stage and really could use some guidance in filling out the correct affidavit. I don't have enough income so my parents have agreed to joint sponsor. They live in same house with me. I need to know do I fill out 864 for me and 864a for my dad? And also do I need to fill one for my mother too even though she didn't work this year. Thanks greatly!!!

Do you have a husband or a fiance?

You say husband and mention the I-864, which is normally used for CR-01 spousal visas.

But you post in the K1 fiance visa forum and your profile says K1.

Me: Irish/ Swiss citizen, and now naturalised US citizen. Husband: USC; twin babies born Feb 08 in Ireland and a daughter in Feb 2010 in Arkansas who are all joint Irish/ USC. Did DCF (IR1) in 6 weeks via the Dublin, Ireland embassy and now living in Arkansas.

***** Moving from K1 fiance visa to CR-1 spousal visa forum******

Please change the visa category on your profile to CR-1, other members will give you wrong advice otherwise.

As to the I-864, assuming neither of you claimed the other on taxes, have your dad fill out a I-864, same as you, and if he filed jointly with mom, she should fill in I-864A

Ok but if he lives in the same household then I know I fill out 864 and then doesn't he fill out 864a since same household. And then Is there a need for mom to fill one out too??

I-864A is for combining income, unless you have income to combine with your parents, then forms need to be filled out as follows:

  • You: I-864
  • Parent with higher income: I-864
  • Other parent: I-864A

Ok still getting confused sorry!! So I don't make enough money! My parents live in my household. They have agreed to joint sponsor. So my undestsnding is I should use 864 for me then household member who is my step dad uses 864a and not quite sure if mother too needs to fill out another 864a

hi

no

you are the main sponsor so you will file an i864 as sponsor regardless of your income

your father will file the i864 as your joint sponsor, and your mom will fill out the i864A as his household member

Yes but they are part of my household. That's where it's confusing. I have read where if everyone lives in same house then it's 864a for the one. I am soo confused

You live under the same roof but they are not part of your household as far as the forms are concerned.

hi

ditto

just because you live in the same house, doesn't mean they are part of your household

you and your husband are one household, plus any dependents if you had any

and your parents are a separate household unless they are your dependents and claimed on your taxes

for immigration purposes

there can be 10 people living in the same house, but that doesn't mean they are part or your household, meaning they aren't counted towards your household for immigration purposes

One more question will they ask my step dad to prove residency if so I had receieved a letter from his bsnk stating his account balances will that suffice since the letter is addressed to my home address?

In the instrustions for filling out the affidavit of support I-864 found here: http://www.uscis.gov/i-864 in part 5 (where a sponsor is directed how to figure out their household size), referencing item 7, it gives you the option to include a parent residing with you in your household:

"Item Number 7. This question gives you the option of including certain other non-dependent relatives who are living in your residence as part of your household size. Such relatives may include your mother, father, sister, brother or adult children, if they are living in your residence. However, the only reason to include these relatives in your household size is if you need to include their income when you calculate your household income for purposes of meeting the income requirement for this affidavit. To be considered, any relative included in this category must sign and submit Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member."

​From reading this, I think some of the above advice that was given to you above is wrong, but I am not speaking from experience (only from reading instructions).
