Confused about I-864 and I-864A forms

[neonrain 1]

My husband is the USC. He will not be able to sufficiently fullfill the requirements of the Affidavit of support so his mom, who we will be living with, is going to be our joint sponsor. Since we need to have all her forms sent over, I want to make sure we give her the right instructions.

What would my husband have to fill out as the sponsor and what would his mom have to fill out as the joint sponsor? The fields on the I-864A about sponsor vs. household member were particularly confusing. Do they both need to fill out both forms?

Thanks again, I think I'm nearly done with the questions.

Husband- I-864

Mother in law- I-864

Your husband has to be the primary sponsor and since your mother in law is not living with you guys at present, she is technically not a household member. That's how we filed our Affidavit of support forms

The above comment is correct. The I-864A is only used when someone in the same household is contributing money, and currently he is not living with his mother. There's a "only joint sponsor" box to tick on the I-864 for the mil.

Thanks again, your advice is golden.
