Help Needed: I-864 or I-864a

[Dylan_Mateo 0]

Hello everyone, thank you for reading this.

 

I'm going to begin the CR-1 process soon. I will be marrying my fiance from the Phillipines in November.

 

Since I've been wokring part time and doing school the past few years, I do not meet the income requirements on my own and will need a joint sponsor.

 

My parents have agreed to help me as a joint sponsor.

 

I am confused however about what form to use and how to use it.

My parents, myself, and younger brother all live together in the same house. 

 

On my I-864 form, on part 6. I plan to put my parents down as people who contribute to the household income.

 

Do each of my parents fill out an I-864a form? Even if they file taxes jointly? And if they do, is it okay for them to put the exact same tax returns?

Financial issues and forms are not dealt with until  a year or so after filing the I-130.  If you are not married yet, you have lots of time to prepare.  Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-130 and its instructions.  (An excellent separate PDF to download and study)  The same goes for the I-864 you will complete based on current facts at the time.  You have plenty of time to do the homework, and plenty of time for your circumstances to change, which would change the answers to your questions above.

Thank you for your reply. I see that there is time for things to change
