Nope we do not. My heart was in the right place. But I will just step down from this one. Thank you.

Why would they think you two are still married? Do you both still live in the same residence even if divorced?

 

In any case, if you become a joint sponsor, depending on the timing of marriage/immigration/divorce, can't complain if a reasonable person suspects if the initial marriage was solely for immigration purpose.

 

Helping someone even if ex is good of course but you seem to be too invested in his process of bring his relative. That itself creates a doubt.

That's a good point.  I would decline this joint sponsorship, too. 

Thanks for your input.

I would honestly just walk away from this. Doing what you're thinking of doing even if you separated on good terms could raise questions regarding whether you married in good faith or married solely for papers.

Ya you are right. Thank you very much.

Let me give you a rundown:

I-864 - The normal form

I-864EZ - The simplified form, only available in cases where you are only sponsoring one person per I-130

I-864W - Waiver form, it's used in cases where you're exempt from needing an affidavit of support because you're a VAWA self-petitioner, widow(er) of a US Citizen, child who'll become a US citizen on entry under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, or you've got 40 quarters of work under the social security act

I-864A - Contract between household member and sponsor, basically this is a form of co-sponsorship where you agree to let the sponsor use your income or/and assets without really taking on the role of a co-sponsor

 

Tl;dr: Just have him use I-864. If he needs a cosponsor, the cosponsor will have to file I-864 as well.

See the problem here is I can technically be a sponsor. However, since we are longer together I can complete I-864 (not a household member). I don't want them thinking we are still together then send us an RFE because they think we are still married so I am a household member I that I should have completed a I-864A. Am I just stressing?

Incorrect.  He MUST submit most recent tax year forms. 

Thank you.

Apologies, to clarify, your ex would fill out the I864 only.  If he has a household member that is willing to use their income as part of the sponsorship, that person would fill out the I864A, but if the joint sponsor is not a household member, they would fill out their own I864.

 

Good Luck!

Nope no household member. So he has to complete the I-864 and the sponsor also needs to complete the I-864. But, on last year's tax status we filed jointly since we were married. He can not submit that now that we are divorced correct? So what does he send in for proof of income? 

Just now, Dashinka said:

Both he and the joint sponsor would fill out the I864 unless the joint sponsor is also a household member, then they could fill out the I864A.

Appreciate it. Thank you!

As the primary sponsor, he would use either the full I864 or the I864EZ (not the I864A), and I864W does not seem to apply in the situation where he is petitioning for his parents.  Reading the criteria (see below) for the I864EZ, if he does not meet the income requirements, I think he needs to do the I864 and also look for a joint sponsor.

 

Good Luck!

 

A few petitioners can use an easier form of Form I-864 called the I-864EZ. To be eligible to use I-864EZ, you must meet all of the following requirements:

• Be the petitioner who filed the original Form I-130 on behalf of the intending immigrant;
• Have listed only one immigrant on Form I-130 (without any derivative spouses or children); and
• Be able to show sufficient income to support the intending immigrant based solely on your salary and pension, which amount is shown on the W-2 Form(s) provided by your employer or former employer.

Thanks for the help. If his income isn't sufficient, will the correct form to complete still be the I-864? Also, what version would the sponsor complete as well?

Are you trying to help your ex or just trying to figure out his next steps. May be he already knows what to do. If he asks for your help and you don't know, directing him to join here is better so he can get the advices directly and nothing get lost in translation.

I am trying to help him. We separated on good terms. The site lists many versions: I-864, I-864EZ, I-864W and I-864A.

Hello all. Earlier this year, my husband and I got a divorce. He is a USC and is currently trying to figure out which I-864 form to use for his parents. (Both parents live outside the USA and each have their own I-130 application.) I am assuming he can not use last year's tax transcript as we are no longer married. However, we were married last year. If his income alone doesn't meet the requirements, which version of the I-864 must he complete and which form must the sponsor complete. (I'm not the sponsor.) Will both he and the sponsor need to provide income? Thanks in advance!

...we went to Hawaii and back WITHOUT his GC he doesn't have his GC yet.

My husband and I just came back from Hawaii and he is still in AOS from K-1. We just got back from our honeymoon with no problems! Have fun!

Ya no problem. We were filing K-1 and we filed during the Saleh problem. So maybe yours will be sooner. Good luck!

The Embassy received the proof of domicile from us a week after the interview then after that we waited 6 months. I kept emailing them throughout these 6 months but they kept telling me still under AP.

Oh ya. The same thing happened with us. I gave them proof of domicile in USA and then we were in AP for 6 months but that was when Yemen was in chaos over Saleh. Maybe it will be quicker for you! Good luck!

Sarah, I too was once at that stage you were at (K-1). I know how it feels. At that time the US embassy was closed due to the political things going on which even delayed our cases. I thank god it's over. Once the visa is in the passport you feel so free because you know you can travel then. Without it it's like you are in jail! Thank you Sarah. Soon it will be all over for you guys and you both have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon! Stay in there! Thanks again!

Thank you for the suggestions. I have to choose from the following 4 links and to put them in order from the most preferred to the least preferred destination locations. Any suggestions on where to go? We have never been to Hawaii let alone anywhere outside our hometown. What place would be close to everything to avoid renting a car etc? Thanks all!

Our honeymoon vacation is for 5 days/nights. If we fly out from DC/VA we would lose a day going and lose a day coming so that only gives us 3 days. At least that's what the sweepstakes people told us. Ugh! Thanks for your help all!

Hi everyone. My husband is currently under AOS awaiting his green card. He has already received his SSN and I-131 EAD/Advance Parole. We have won a honeymoon trip to either Hawaii, Mexico or the Caribbean. We have narrowed it down to either Hawaii or the Caribbean. Does anyone know if we need visas for either Hawaii or the Caribbean? Can my husband even travel at all? I hold a U.S. passport while my husband does not. In terms of weather, food, expenses and flight which destination is better than the other and costs less. Of course we will end up spending money on vacation but I have heard that Hawaii is generally more expensive about 30%more than the rest of the US states while the Caribbean isn't. Thank you all for your help in advance. If we didn't win this honeymoon we would have not even gone on a honeymoon at all due to our low income.

I had sent all of those documents and they STILL asked for me to bring in proof of Petitioner's Domicile in USA. My Officer asked my then fiance to bring in copy of my lease and I did. Note: Our embassy was in Yemen not Canada.

JFK doesn't give EAD's. My then fiance did not get one when he entered in mid July 2012. He just got his in the mail this week and 2 days later we filed for his SSN and he should get it next week. Our address is in DC but we opted to land in JFK rather than Dulles because it was cheaper.

Doesn't matter which POE you enter. Our address is in VA but my fiance landed in NY. They even asked me(USC)where I live and I told them my address and they didn't care.

I second that. My fiance's visa was valid for 6 months. So he could of entered anytime during that 6 month period...BEFORE it expires.....

Don't worry. After my fiance had his interview, he as well was put under AP for 5 months (in Yemen). They won't tell you anything. You just have to wait. I eventually emailed my Congressman after the 5 months and he got the visa. So I do not know if was time for him or the Congressman actually did something. Stay strong!
