household member/ I864a question [merged threads]

[Awesome22 9]

Hi.

I'm petitioning my husband. My dad and I will be the sponsors.

My parents files their taxes together. So that makes my mom a household member under my dad right?

I've read it somewhere that my mom also needs to fill up a I864a.

my question is on part 2 1.c

which one should i mark?

spouse since she's a household member under my dad?

I need help..

Not necessarily. If your dad's own income is enough, your mom doesn't have to do I-864A. Although some consulates will ask for it anyway.

If she does I-864A, she would choose 1.c. spouse.

Hi, I was in the same situation - my husband (the USC) was the petitioner and primary sponsor, but he did not have enough income, so we asked his stepdad to be the joint sponsor (he filled out another I-864) and his wife (my husband's mother) filled out I-864a. It has been recommended on the forum (I remember especially Pushbrk advising to do it this way - and he knows what he's talking about) to send the I-864a even if the joint sponsor has enough income under the guidelines. They just want to know that the household member understands the duties that come with sponsoring an immigrant.

We got a case complete really soon. Better safe than sorry.

And yes, you should mark "spouse" on part 2, 1.c.

SEND IT!!! We got an RFE because of it (his income met and exceeded the minimum) , then at the interview we did not get approval because my MIL only sent one with all 3 names in it, not three one for each immigrant petition.
Save the time and just send it!!

Correct, your dad needs to put your mom's name there and her current income.

And yes, your mom still should fill out the I-864a.

The current individual annual income that you asked about earlier, should be the same number as written on employment letter of the sponsor (it has nothing to do with the tax return as the tax return shows your income for the past year, not the current year).

sorry im asking too

much questions

[NikLR 13,220]

Yes she's a household member to the joint sponsor.

[pushbrk 12,243]

Unless you want the visa delayed when the Consular Officer asks for the wife's I-864a, send it the first time. Although not technically required, it is best practice to send an I-864a whenever the qualified joint sponsor files taxes jointly with a spouse.

[Awesome22 9]

Yes she's a household member to the joint sponsor.
