If she doesnt live with you she's not a co-sponsor.

She's a standalone joint sponsor and will need to meet the poverty guidelines with her individual income for her household income including any dependents plus any beneficiaries. She will file an I864.

She is a joint sponsor, not a household member eligible for an I-864A. She would use an I-864 and her income/assets will be considered separately.

Thank you!

 

Another question if it's OK.

 

In my wife's I-864 Part 5 where it is asking about the household size, it counts me as the principal immigrant, then there is another box that says fill with "1" if you're married, so that way I'm counted twice as a principal immigrant and spouse? Do I keep one of the boxes empty? I am confused I hope you can help! Thanks

Each person is counted only once. If the spouse is already counted above, then enter 0 for that line (you are not claiming that you are unmarried by doing so).

My mother-in-law is co-sponsoring our petition.

 

She does not live with us. (not same household)

 

Do I just let her fill an i-864A or her own separate i-864?

 

Thanks

from my understanding a co-sponsor that does not live with the beneficiary needs to fill out their own i-864. You however will need to pay another fee for the second i-864 whilst the i-864A is free.

there is no fee for Form I-864 from what I understand and what the instructions tell. Unless I'm confused and you're talking about some other fee?
