I-864A

[mzap 0]

Since entering the country, my fiance and I have moved with the folks again for the time being. We do need a co-sponsor and this is going to be my mom.

Just to make sure I have this straight...I fill out the I-864 and my mom fills out the I-864A since we are living in the same household??

Thank You!

yes

No.

You each fill out a separate I-864.

You as the petitioner are THE sponsor and need to fill out your own affidavit.

Your mother is co-sponsoring and thus fills out her own.

The I-864A would be for example this scenario - your father completing an affidavit and another person in the house (your mother, sibling, etc) adding themselves to that affidavit.

But they are living in the same residence, and they are related by blood.

Her mother is her household member who has agreed to make her income available for the affidavit, and not a joint sponsor as the OP stated.

Who owns the house? Is this not a temporary living arrangement?

And more importantly is the tax filing status of the sponsor and co-sponsor. I doubt that mom is her dependant.

Marianne, you have a choice.

Your mom can either do a separate I-864, OR do an I-864A to your I-864.

r'jo, if you re-visit the I-864A, you'll see that mom doesn't need to be a dependant to be a household member. I think the -A is actually perfect for the extended-family-migration scenario, and some married couples staying with the parents can benefit from it.
