Filling out 864 (split and merged)

[Chief Mrs. Edeh 11]

I am in your same situation (I currently live with my mother and am sponsoring my husband), and I plan to have my mother fill out an I-864a. I will be including her in my household size (since I have been living with her for at least 6 months and I just barely meet the income requirements myself) and from my understanding in reading the instructions, this will allow me to include her income with mine to show we can support my husband.

So then does my mother too need to fill another 864a along with step dad. He is the one making the money mom doesn't work but obviously my thinking she is his wife and has certain rights. So very confused

I would recommend you take everyone's advice on here with a grain of salt. You don't know who you are speaking to, nor do you know how much thought/time they have put into answering your specific question. I think the vast majority on here have good intentions, but I would still read and go over the instructions from the USCIS site for each form you are filing with a fine tooth comb yourself. *my 2 cents*

I don't feel comfortable speaking to how it works with a married couple (as opposed to just my mother who is single). I'm sorry. I hope my little bit of incite was helpful though.

I also live in an joint family. My father and mother live with me, and I added my father as a single joint sponsor even though I make enough money.

I filled out 2 of the I-864 forms.

-1st was from my side sponsoring my wife

-2nd was from my father sponsoring me

Form: http://www.uscis.gov/i-864
