On my I-864 I put that I was unemployed and have no income, but my mother can still use an I-864 to be a joint sponsor, right? I assumed that was the case because even non-relatives living separately from a petitioner can use I-864 to qualify as a joint sponsor.

Hello VJ members,

I have a question that I wasn't able to find an answer to online (although this was helpful) and my two calls to the NVC didn't seem to help. My question is, if I currently live at the same address as my joint sponsor (my mother, but I'm not her dependent), can the joint sponsor fill out an I-864 or are they required to fill out an I-864A?

I received a checklist from the NVC last week asking for an I-864A (I submitted an I-864) but I think that is because I accidentally included her income in Part 6 of my I-864. I just want to be sure to get it right this time so I can avoid another checklist. I'm going to be moving to a different city for work within the next week or two, but I don't know if that changes which form needs to be used.

Thank you so much.
