Questions about Affidavit of Support Form I-1864

[James s 0]

I have some questions about the form I-864 Affidavit of Support form. I am currently a student and I am not employed. I will be using my father as the sole sponsor. My questions:

1) Is my father the one who has to fill out the I-864 Form?

2) My father has to sponsor two people(my spouse as well as my brothers spouse) and I do not think that he can sponsor them both just with his income alone. My father owns two houses, a certificate of deposit, and savings. Will these assets count towards the income requirement? (Remember he will be trying to sponsor two people).

The reason I am asking this because I do not want to have my application delayed because of the sponsor part.

First things first, whoever is the petitioner has to be a sponsor even if they have ZERO income, then they can now get a joint sponsor. If you are the petitioner for your spouse, you are the sponsor and your dad will be a joint sponsor and you both have to fill out separate I-184 forms.

I believe more experienced members will come along with more info.

even if you have zero income,you still have to fill out the form and send in all the documents that they ask for,your father can only be your co-sponsor

In this situation, does my father have to fill the I-864 or the I-864A form? What is the difference between these two forms?

So that people can help and give you CORRECT information, its important that you are more precise with your own information.

Who is the petitioner?Who are the beneficiaries? (You and your brother petioning for your spouses separately?)

Do you live in the same house with your father and brother? i.e. household members.

If your father is the joint sponsor, whether he fills I864 or I864a depends on whether you live in the same house.

Hi and thanks for the response. I will give the answers to the above questions:

Who is the petitioner? Who are the beneficiaries?

I am the Petitioner for my spouse and my brother is the petitioner for his spouse. We are both petitioning separately.

Do you live in the same house with your father and brother? i.e. household members.

Yes, both me and my brother live with our father in one house. We live with both parents and siblings.

If your father is the joint sponsor, whether he fills I864 or I864a depends on whether you live in the same house.

Which form does he fill if we both live in the same house? Which one do I fill?

[Mrs O. 29]

You and your bro fill out I-864, your dad one fills I-864a each for each of his daughters-in-law.

Please read the docs in the links posted earlier for instructions especially counting household members.
