I864 & I864A joint sponsor question!

[Huong Nguyen 5]

Hi everyone, 

I have a question regarding to I-864 and I864A. I'm (F1 student) married to USC husband. I husband need a joint sponsor due to not meeting the requirement. And my father-in-law is the joint sponsor. So, he needs to file the I-864, but my question is if my father-in-law files tax jointly with my mother-in-law, does she need to file another I-864 or just need I-864A? And does she need to submit W-2 as well?

 

Thank you!

I-864A

Yes, W-2 and 1040 (should be the same one as the father's because they filed jointly, right?)  and/or tax transcript.

Yes, W-2 and 1040 (should be the same one as the father's because they filed jointly, right?)  and/or tax transcript. 

Silly question, so do I only need 1 W-2 from my father? And is my mother's tax transcript the same as my father tax transcript (flied together)? Thank you so much!!

I would just send them the W-2 from your mother as well if you have it. It's just such a small thing to have to worry about an RFE

You're right. I'll send them everything just in case. Thank you

Yes, just send it to them. These kind of things, my philosophy is "always do more than less", especially if it's just a piece of documents. Anything that is not in English, I got it translated to English, you know. Just minimize the chance they can give you an RFE and delay your case.
