I-864 Joint Sponsor who has filed joint taxes

[ColoBrabo 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I would just like to clarify something.

 

I am required to get a joint sponsor for my wife's AOS, and we have asked my uncle to be our joint sponsor.

 

My uncle is earning over 125% of the poverty guidelines so he is sponsoring us on his own, his wife is not sponsoring us. He can use W2 to prove his individual income.

 

He files his taxes with his wife jointly. For the question where it asks for the total household income, does he put his combined income with his wife, or can he just put his total income from his W2s? If he puts his combined income with his wife, does that mean his wife will now have to fill in an I-864a and give us her W2? 

 

Many thanks.

If they filed joint taxes then the spouse should file the I-864a.
