I-864 & I-864A Question

[Ronniesu 2]

Hello everyone.

I just recently join this forum and am looking for some answers for my confusion.

 

I filed I-864 and my income is not enough. I combine my dad's income and he filed I-864A.

My dad and mom file tax married jointly.

 

In my I-864, I declared that the household size is 4 (my dad, my mom, my wife who is abroad and myself).

Does my mom need to file I-864A also? since my income and dad's income combined is already higher than 125% poverty guideline for household size of 4.

 

Thank you

You need to file your own I-864 no matter whether you income is enough or not.  ONLY if your parents NEED to combine income with your parents, would you do so.  The highest earner of your parents file an I-864 as joint sponsor and  the other parent provides an I-864a as the joint filing household member.  If you are over 21 OR married, you do NOT count in your parents' household unless you are listed as a dependent on their tax return.  Become a A-student of those I-864 instructions.

Thanks for your quick feedback.

 

I forgot to mention that I live in the same address with my parents so think my dad need to file I-864A

For my situation how can I fill out Part 5 in I-864

 

Thank you

You, I-864.  And, one parent I-864 and the other an I-864a.  You do NOT count in their household and do NOT combine income with them.
