Joint sponsor living at the same address mailing of petitioner

[Word 0]

Hey guys i wanna ask u my wife the petitioner live with her stepfather in the same mailing address but she is living in house mobile separately but still in the same property of the her stepfather so the question is he file us i864 as a joint sponaor not i864a as household and we get DQ at the NVC but i am worried in the consulate if they told me why they have the same address and he file i864 not i864a i am afraid to get refused for that in the Casablanca embassy

Household member is not about living at same physical place. Household member is when you combine incomes for tax purposes. Unless your wife or her father claim each other as dependants on taxes, they are not part of same household. So most likely father will be a joint sponsor, unless they are members of same household.

You would say they are not members of the same household because they file taxes separately.

It is correct that the stepfather should be the joint sponsor.  His wife (her mother? ) should be his household member and provide an I-864a even if she has no income.  Don't expect them to want it the other way around.  They won't "ask" why you did it correctly.

Not quite.  Needing to combine incomes for the affidavit of support is the situation that would cause the I-864a to be more appropriate.  When the joint sponsor qualifies without combining income with the petitioner, they act as joint sponsor, not household member, even if the petitioner is the joint sponsor's dependent.

 

Tax return fiing status is not the only factor to consider.  More important is whether the joint sponsor has enough income without combining on the AOS, not the tax return.

Her stepfather and his wife filing taxes separately do i still need her i864a?
