I-864 questions (merged topics)

[JusticeWarrior67 3]

Hi, for the I-864 affidavit of support my wife submits her I-864 along with her dad as he's the joint sponsor and her mom (she signs the I-864A form because her dad alone makes a bit less than required under the %125 poverty lines with a household size of 7 including me) all together they makes about 85K a year.

so all the forms we are submitting are: I-864 for my wife, I-864 for the joint sponsor and I-864A for my mother in law.

My question is: on the I-864 of the joint sponsor (my father in law in this case) should I fill out Part 6 on page 5 that says "income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size" for his spouse as she also submits the I-864A form, and put her current income?

Should I do the same on my wife's I-864 form even though she's using her parents for sponsorship?

You're saying that her dad claims 4 dependents on his tax return? His household size should just be him, his wife, the dependents he claims on his tax return, plus you the immigrant.

My question is: on the I-864 of the joint sponsor (my father in law in this case) should I fill out Part 6 on page 5 that says "income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size" for his spouse as she also submits the I-864A form, and put her current income?

Yes. That's the point. She fills out I-864A so her income can be counted on his I-864 to add together with his income to form his household income.

Should I do the same on my wife's I-864 form even though she's using her parents for sponsorship?

Not sure what you mean by "do the same". If you mean for your wife's mom's income to be listed on your wife's I-864, no, her mom is acting as her dad's household member, not your wife's household member.

Please help me put in the right amount of the current annual income on the I-864 and I-864A

this is what my parents in law's pay stubs look like

on the joint sponsor's pay-stub the following information is listed

father in law

March,26,2016 - April,10,2016

Rate: 12.50

hours:161.50

gross income: 2018.75

March, 11, 2016 - March, 25, 2016

Rate: 12.50

hours: 145.50

gross income: 1818.75

February 26, 2016 - March 10, 2016

Rate: 12.50

hours: 118

gross income: 1475

my mother in law's pay stub shows the following:

April 11, 2016 - April 17, 2016

Rate: 17.14

hours: 37.50

overtime:

rate: 25.7

hours: 15.60

gross income: 1049.60

April 4, 2016 - April 10, 2016

rate: 17.14

hours: 33.50

overtime:

rate: 25.7

hours: 12.20

gross income: 1132.18

if you figure this out, please show your mathematical calculation so I'll know how to do that too

I would use 40 hours per week x 52 weeks/year x (rate of pay) for each and then add them together. I don't think you want to try to estimate the overtime pay unless it is regular and scheduled. Stick to the base pay amount because you still meet the 125% poverty threshold.

See below:

40 hrs/week x 52 weeks/year x $12.50/hr = $26,000/ annual salary

40 hrs/week x 52 weeks/year x $17.14/hr = $35,651/ annual salary

$26,000 + $35,651 = $61,651 combined annual salary

Otherwise use the gross income from their tax return they filed sometime in the last 1-4 months. That's most likely the easiest calculation.

well thanks for replying, but that's what I did:

for my father in law:

118 hrs/ 2 weeks (the lowest of them) X 12.50 rate = 1,475

1,475 X 26 (biweekly) = 38,350

for my mother in law:

33.50 hrs /week (the lowest of them) X 17.14 rate = 574.19

overtime: 12.20 hrs X 25.7 rate = 313.54

574.19 + 313.54 = 887.73

887.73 X 52 (weekly) = 46,161

46,161 +38,350 = 84,511 combine

What do you think?

[NikLR 13,234]

Almost. Unless that overtime is guaranteed for your MIL, do not count it.

Also you don't have to be THAT exact (aka to the $1)

I'm working on my parents in law I-864 as they're our joint sponsors. On the form though, when it asks about their Alien number, I can't locate it on their tax returns, W-2 or any of the financial documents they've sent me.

I did provide their both Social security number though, as well as a photocopy of their passport to establish citizenship

would that be enough? or I should still try to retrieve their A number?

You will not find an alien number on a tax return, W-2, or any other financial document. An alien number is not needed for any of that.

If they are US citizens, their US passports are sufficient.

I appreciate your reply, but as the title says: They both are naturalized citizens, meaning they were not born in the U.S but in Mexico.

would it still be okay to not include their Alien number?

[aleful 1,905]

hi

the alien number was their Green Card number

they don't have a green card anymore

They are citizens alien number is irrelevant to anything anymore.

[teeak 224]

The alien number I believe would be located on their naturalization certificate. But, since they're USCs, it's not necessary in this case.

what about my alien number? (I'm the intending immigrant) am I supposed to have one or leave it blank?

[teeak 224]

No, the intending immigrant won't be issued an alien number until they receive their actual visa. You can just leave it blank.
