i have been reading the guides for filing IR/CR visa. i have noticed in the checklist of required documents that only I-864 (affidavit of support form) is listed. the letter from NVC however provides for the I-864A form which should be filled up.

when is this form needed?

and who should sign this form?

Hi euro,

A Joint Sponsor completes an I-864 and selects the 'Joint Sponsor' option.

The I-864A is for including the income of a Household Member.

thanks a lot euro and meauxna (F)

i have a follow up question though:

what if the co-sponsor is a household member?

will it suffice to submit the I-864 executed respectively by the sponsor and co-sponsor (who are residing in the same household) without submitting the i-864A? the income of the co-sponsor is more than enough to cover for the income requirements prescribed by the USCIS.

thanks in advance :unsure:

neolla,

er, this is getting kind of vague at this point..

If the Joint Sponsor (there is no co sponsor) is also a Household member (let's say the Sponsor lives with her parents) and the HM/parent agrees to put their income up for support, it appears that they have a choice of how to file:

-As a HM, and they complete an I-864A to the Sponsor's I-864

or, they love paperwork

-As a Joint Sponsor, and they (parent) complete an i-864 of their own.

I *think* I've got this right, from what you've posted.

i got this info:

How Do I File an Affidavit of Support?

You should complete an I-864 Affidavit of Support when your relative has been scheduled for an immigrant visa interview with a consular officer overseas or when your relative is about to submit an application for adjustment to permanent resident status with the USCIS or with an Immigration Court in the United States. If you have a joint sponsor, the joint sponsor must also complete USCIS Form I-864 at this time. If you are using the income of other household members to qualify, then each household member who is accepting legal responsibility for supporting your relative must complete a separate USCIS Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member.

from the site below:

http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/affsupp.htm

**** i think the operative word is OTHER household which means (i think) that if the co-sponsor is a household member, he does not need to sign the i-864A anymore if he is already executing the i-864 form. it is only when the other household member(s) is willing to accept responsibility that they must sign i-864A and not necessarily i-864.

correct me if im wrong. this is getting more and more confusing :help:

I got mine today from NVC and it's the same packet. They send all the forms anyway. Just fill the I-864 if your income is enough for the 125%. If not you have to add a joint sponsor. Both of you will sign the same I-864. The I-864A is for a household member whose income you want to add. A little different from the I-864. The instructions is very clear on that.

No, that is not very clear. :whistle:

Joint Sponsors do not sign the same I-864 with Sponsors.

:wacko:

Situation and Question: My husband is in Canada and I moved to Canada to live with him four months after we married. We couldn't stand being apart anymore. So, we just received the I-130 approval before the I-129f, still not received approval yet. We learned that the CR-1/IR-1 is automatically defaulted when applying for the I-130. How long does it take from sending out the fees for the bills of the AOS and Immigrant Visa application fee? Do we get the I-864 packet after this? Initinally, when and how long do we have to wait before the personal interview in Montreal? If approved, do they give a same day visa for entry into the US?

Do you think that I will be denied if I am living with my husband with no U.S. physical address?
