I've revised the form a few times prior to sending. In fact, they've accepted the exact same form before, and I've only added my info and updated the corresponding "total income" boxes. To answer your question, yes. Everything is in its proper place.

Actually it does, it says "If you are the intending immigrant and the sponsor is including your income on Form I-864 to meet the eligibility requirements, you need to complete this contract only if you have accompanying dependents." What I cited was from the 9 FAM. Also, if you look at I-864 instructions it says "If you included the income of the intending immigrant who is your spouse (he or she would be counted in Part 5., Item Number 1.), you must provide evidence that his/her income will continue from the current source after obtaining lawful permanent resident status. He or she does not need to complete Form I-864A unless he or she has accompanying children." I don't think there's any interpretation required in the presence of the FAM. However, you presented another problem with filling out I-864A, which is I'd still have to put my name on I-864 to begin with. So this just became a form of a circular logic.

I-864A is for intending immigrants with accompanying childern. 9 FAM for I-864A states that: "If the sponsored immigrant does not have accompanying family members, they cannot submit Form I-864A. Their income may be counted in the household income, however, if they will continue to work in the same job after they immigrate to the United States. You may request evidence of the applicant's income such as pay statements and tax returns, if they were required to file them, and should request a letter from the employer certifying that the employment will continue after the applicant's immigration to the United States." I do not have any accompanying children / family members as per Box 22 on I-864.

Hey everyone, I have a peculiar situation that requires some insight. Background: This is regarding an Form I-864 for IR-1. I'm the beneficiary (I have never been to the US) and my spouse is the US Citizen. We have filed her I-864 as petitioner and I included my income in Part 6 as the intending immigrant (items 8-10 have my name, relationship, and income. Box 22 is checked and has my name) because my income will continue to flow from the same source (a US company that I've been working with remotely) after I immigrate to the US and become an LPR (a letter was provided as proof). Problem: I have a received a message from the embassy saying that as a beneficiary my name cannot be on I-864 (they literally said that) and CEAC shows the form as rejected with the massage that I "cannot sponsor myself". Keep in mind that, the I-864 instructions says my income as the intending immigrant and spouse can be included, especially if the petitioner's income does not meet requirements (although it does, but we included it for stronger AOS), and my 9 FAM says the same as well. My question is: What the heck is going on? Can anyone shed some light as to what is happening here?
