Help! parents co-sponsor should be same household or seperate I-864

[tt123 1]

My husband and I just came back from overseas and I need to AOS. Current we live with his parents but we are about to move to another city. We do not know if we should fill one I864 as same household. We are going to use his parents' address to apply AOS. It is just more convininet for us. Last year, my husband did not work because he was a student. He just starts looking for jobs. I think currently we still counts to same household with his parents.

Thank you for any advice.

Husband completes an I-864 as petitioner/primary sponsor.

Parents submit an I-864 and I-864a as joint sponsors (assuming that they file a joint tax return).

What if my husband did not do tax together with his parents in past? Thank you

Husband is separate as the petitioner / primary sponsor. He does not need to live with his parents for them to be joint sponsors. Any US citizen or green card holder can be a joint sponsor.

we don't know if we should fill as co-sponsor or fill in same I864 as we are in same household.

There will be 2 I-864 forms. 1 from the US citizen husband/petitioner. Another from one parent.

If the parents file a joint tax return then the other parent should complete for I-864a and submit it with the 1st parent's I-864.

I-864 - petitioner

I-864 - husband's father

I-864a - husband's mother (if they file a joint tax return)

It is not a requirement to file an I-864A if you live in the same house.

Follow what Anh map is telling you. The USC petitioner/sponsor submits an I-864(household size will be USC, immigrant and any dependents they have), and then one parent(choose who earns the most) submits their own separate I-864, and the other parent provides an I-864A to go along with the first parent's I-864. Their income combined together will act as joint sponsorship. They will only count the foreign spouse(immigrant) in their household, unless the USC petitioner/sponsor is claimed as a dependent on their taxes.
