I-864a cosponsors

[batcher 2]

I need some advice about how to go forward with my case. I just got a letter for USCIS stating they do not accept my sponsors for my wife, they have to be parents, siblings, adult children, which is not possible in my case. Is there any way  for me to get past this roadblock, I got tons of cousins and uncles and aunts living on the same principle address willing to sponsor her...

YOU are the primary sponsor.  A joint sponsor can be any US citizen or Legal Permanent Resident. 

 

You must submit an I-864 and the joint sponsor must submit one also.

hi

 

yes, to submit the i864A, the person who lives with you has to be an immediate relative, such as parents, siblings or adult children to be a qualifying household member

 

but you can find joint sponsors who are USC or LPR who don't live in the same house and that qualify,. they would submit the i864, not the i864A, or instead, they can file the i864 and not combine income with you, instead of the i864A

 

they would have to have enough income to cover themselves, their family if they have one and your wife as the beneficiary

Thanks for clarifying.  I missed the "I-864aA" in the title......

Thank you that makes everything clear!

I am using a good friend for a sponsor for my wife. I am using form I-864. I have got a few questions, he is filing jointly with his wife, how does that work with filling out the form? Part 1.  which box would i select? Is there any link on Visajourney detailing this?

hi

 

you fill out the i864 as the primary sponsor, where it says I am the sponsor

 

 

your friend files an i864 as the only joint sponsor, and his wife files the i864A as his household member
