I-864 questions for my parents

[trucphong 24]

All,

 

I  (US citizen) petitioned my mom and dad by filing I-130 in early 2024.

 

I am filling out  I-864 for my mom first and I have some questions to ask for I-864. I have read instruction form few times and I still confused.

 

I started working in 2024 and made 65k. We filed tax together as married jointly since we got married. However, I had no income in 2023 and 2022 but my spouse income had been steady around 80k the whole time.  I am still currently employed and expected to make around 75k in this year.

 

I have few questions and hope someone can help me out.

 

1. My first question is do I need my spouse to do joint sponsor for my mom meaning that my spouse will file I-864A form as I heard somewhere that I need to have two years income tax?

 

2.  Part 3) Question 2 is the one that confused me” I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within 6 months of principal immigrating in part 2 (do not include any relative listed on separate visa petition)”. My dad will or might fly on same day with my mom but since it is two separate visa petitions and not dependent, I would not checked this box for question 2? 

 

3. For total household size question since I have filed for mom and dad. Our household size is now 3 (Spouse, son and me). For my mom’s I-864, is it going to be 4, and my dad’s I-864 will be 5?

 

 

Thank you for taking time to read.
