I864 Joint Sponsor/Petitioner

[ALSA 2]

Greetings,

 

I have been reading for hours now to no avail. My wife has petitioned her father and we are now at the NVC stage, specifically the AOS. My wife has no income so her and I will both complete the standard i864. An i864a will not be submitted by either of us to my understanding. We file taxes as married/joint so we will attach the w2 for each tax year transcript submitted. We will both also attach proof of citizenship. We are confused on household count. Do we both list each other and our two children on both i864s? Do we both list her father as a "person sponsored in this affidavit?" We will leave household income blank on hers and will only be included on mine?

 

The DS260 and civil documents have been submitted and this is the finish line for us, hopefully. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, kindly.

Why not one I864 and one I864A as I believe it accomplishes the same thing as your wife being the primary sponsor and you using your income to add to hers. That way you only count household size once.

 

Good Luck!

I should’ve added that I sponsor a green card holder since approximately 2 years ago as well. I wasn’t sure how he would be included in an i864a if submitted. Would I add him to my wife’s i864? Through my hours of reading I understood that an i864a would only be submitted if she had deficient  income to sponsor. She has none whatsoever. I just don’t want this kicked back and to deal with it all over again. I’m far from perfect but I definitely aim for perfection.
