i-864a of joint sponsor's wife although....

[asifiq 0]

Hi everyone,

Could you please help me with this information. I am going to submit DS-260 with AOS.

I am the principal applicant. My petitioner does not have enough income to sponsor me.

I managed a joint sponsor who has filled i-864 with sufficient income.
In his i-864 he did not use any income of household members which could be of his wife.
They file tax jointly as married joint. The wife has very little income which is reflected in the tax transcript.

QUESTION:

Does the wife have to submit i-864a even though the husband (the joint sponsor) did not use household income in his i-684?

No. She does not .. however there may be benefit in doing so as it demonstrates that the spouse is agreeable with the decision .. and there have been reports of the I 864a being  requested by NVC. But  it is not mandated in the instructions.

My joint sponsor used the I-864 only, even though he is married. He qualified on his own and his wife’s income was not necessary. It is possible to do it this way however the embassy may ask for an I-864A, as previously mentioned, to be sure that the spouse is on board with this potentially huge financial commitment.
