Form I-864

[Jill Mackie 76]

Hello 

 

My co-sponsor ( my mother in law) says she is 10x over the poverty guidelines, therefore do we need to include my father in-law or can we just use her as our joint / co sponsor? Also do they require a copy of her birth certificate as proof of her citizenship?

 

Thank you

You don't need your FIL as your MIL has more than enough. 

Yes. She will need proof of citizenship submitted alongside her I-864

I never said it was a crime.  It is just kind of a strange error to make, especially because the answer to her question may change based on which it actually is.....

I said:

"if" my joint sponsor (my mother in-law) on her own makes $36,500 .

 

I didn't say it was exactly what she makes .

Thats exactly why @Jorgedig was suggesting it's a strange error to make. 10x guidelines is roughly $200,000. That's drastically different than $35,000. Of course some people have occupations that are surprisingly well paid or live modestly below their means.  Hopefully the discrepancy was because of this or an error in converting currencies.

Not really that strange to me ,It was a a hypothetical number I used whilst explain to my mother in law.

Answered this on your other post about it, but here it is again>

There is no requirement for the father-in-law to provide an I-864A. If the mother-in-law meets the requirement then she can be your joint sponsor on her own. She will provide her taxes, which are most likely joint, so be sure she includes her own W-2 and perhaps pay stubs to show her exact income separate from her husband's. She needs to make sure they can clearly see her income alone is enough.

Ok thank you , we will submit her birth certificate as she has an expired passport only. Also just off the subject slightly do I have to submit an original copy of my marriage certificate not a photocopy?
