i-751 with spouse and mother-in-law

[ehayulhwang 0]

Hello!

I'm preparing to file my i-751 in July and had a question. When I filed the K1 visa and the adjustment of status, my spouse and my mother-in-law filled out the forms jointly as the co-sponsors (my spouse was going to school and didn't have a stable income so we decided to depend on our mother-in-law). With i-751, would I need my mother-in-law to fill out a separate i-751 form as a co-sponsor? Both my spouse and I have jobs now, and we are not worried about the federal poverty level, so we would not need to depend on mother-in-law's financial capacity. However, I wasn't sure since I submitted the previous forms with her as the join co-sponsor, this would cause inconsistency.

Thanks so much in advance!

If you are doing it yourself, read the instructions and VJ guidelines on that form very carefully to prevent costly mistakes. 
 

During your AOS (form i485) your spouse and mother in law didn't fill out separate i485s, they filled out separate i864s because affidavit of support was required.

 

For i751, affidavit of support isn't required, so no sponsorship required. Remember you are the petitioner for your i751.

Thank you for the clarification! I'll have to read the guides again.

There are no financial support requirements for an I-751 package.  The I-864s which were completed as part of your I-485 are still in full force.

Public charge, Federal Poverty Guidelines, etc are not a factor in removing conditions for residency.

Thanks, folks! I assumed I need to prove my financial capacity in i-751 again. I always appreciate the smart folks from Visa Journey

I guess you haven't read the instructions or the VJ guide....  I would do that right away as it will take a little time to collect sufficient evidence of your marriage.  Good luck.
