Hi,

I read the topics, but am still confused. Someone please help clarify this for us!

My husband lives in the US and is still a student. He lives with his parents and his mom will be a co-sponsor. Does that mean they are in the same household? Or he is separate and then his mom +dad is another?

Also, so he and his mom file the I-864 form each? Does his dad need to file the I-864A if she makes enough? They do joint taxes.

Thanks in advance, really confused

If your husband lives with his parents, that means they live in the same household. Therefore, he will fill out the i-864 form, while his mom will fill out the i-864A. If his mom makes more than the poverty guidelines, then (according to the i-864A instructions) his dad does not need to fill out another i-864A (However, I'm not sure about the process in your embassy, but some would actually suggest having the spouse of the joint sponsor to also fill out his/her own i-864A). His mom will just send her W2 and 1099 forms, in addition to her tax transcripts.

What if the mom makes enough on her own, and we won't ask the dad to file a form, would that mean that the household size is 3?

Also, if the dad does file a I-864A, does he also need all the proof of income and IRS etc.?

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, my head is already spinning from all this

Me and my husband are in a similar situation, his mom living with him will be our sponsor.

Question: should she file I-864 or I-864A?

From what i read here, it's better if she files I-864 and her husband I-864A? Does his dad need to provide all financial proof from his side too???
