I-864 Question

[amyandmario 0]

Hey everyone, if a joint sponsor is married but her income alone is enough to sponsor intending immigrant, does she even need to report her husband´´s information? He is not working so has no income. Do we need a copy of his birth cert and/ or passport as well, even if he will not be contributing?

Also- if there is an error with this form or any other documentation provided, does that result in an immediate denial, or do they give you a chance to correct errors without starting all over again with the original petition?

Thanks for your help!

How does the joint sponsor file taxes? if they file "married, filing separately": you only need her stuff. If they file "married, filing jointly", embassies usually want a

I-864A from the spouse.

If the financial papers are deemed insufficient, you usually get 30 or 45 days to submit a different co-sponsor.

Okay, thank you. My joint sponsor has two different W2s from 2015, from the same employer, but on one her status says "Single" and on the other her status is "Married". Her income is sufficient alone, but since one of those W2s says Married, do we need her husband to do an I-864A? (He has no income).

Her husband will not need to sign an I-864A if she makes enough to sponsor you on her own. However, if she doesn't make enough and is required to put her assets down, then her husband will need to sign an I-864A.
