hi all! so I just submitted all my docs to CEAC and almost all of them were rejected with a problem. the thing that is the most confusing to me is that I as the petitioner filed the I-864 because you have to for affidavit of support. I am currently unemployed as I just moved home from living overseas. My father is the joint sponsor and makes enough. They said that he didn't fill out the I-864A because I was told he didn't need to and that it was just the I-864 from him and from me. does anybody know about this? I don't see why he needs to fill out an I-864a if he already did the I-864. thank you!

hi

 

do you live in the same house? if so, then he needed to fill out the i864A

 

you fill out the i864 regardless of income because you are the petitioner, and if you live with your dad, the he is your household member and therefore needs to file the i864A, not the i864

technically on all the forms I live with him, as I lived overseas for a few years and that was my permanent address back in the US. but on all his tax forms I was not listed as a dependent. He is the sponsor.. so what you're saying is he needs to now file a I-864a proving the relationship from me to him?

hi

 

he doesn't need to declare you as his dependent, you just live in the same house, so he is your household member

 

if he lived at a different address in the US from yours, then he would have filled out the i864, but because you have the same address and you live with him, he will be your household member and need to fill out the i864A, so yes, he needs to fill out that form

NVC has had trouble accepting the correct forms from people. Upload the correct forms and call the NVC for a supervisor review.  

Thr father is not automatically a household member even if he did live in the same house.  For the OP he does not.

NVC is interpreting this as you living with your father at the same address.  They are not allowing joint sponsorship from two people at the same address, so they are asking you to submit his income as your household member.  Essentially, they want your paperwork to look like this:

  • you as the main sponsor, filing I-864: since you don't meet the income requirements, you can use people living in the same household to meet the income requirement
  • your father, who lives at the same address, is technically a member of your household, files I-864A

Do not confuse "household member" at NVC with dependent at the IRS.

 

FWIW, they are not singling you out.  I make enough to cover the income requirements, but because I live overseas with my wife, I chose to have my parents as a joint sponsor, just in case.  Since I use their address as my US address, NVC refuses to accept them as joint sponsor and is asking me to add them as my household members, despite the fact that I don't currently live in the same house.  (We do intend to live there temporarily upon immigration).

Supervisor review? I have not heard of this before. If I call them before I upload everything they’ll be able to tell me if it’s the correct doc or not? Sorry it’s all just so confusing!!

You can call the NVC and ask a supervisor to review your documents.  I haven't had to upload anything to CEAC as its been a while since Ive been in the USA so im unsure exactly how that works.
