I 864 w Joint Sponsor and now we're stuck....

[MsMariah 0]

Ok so I'm filling out my I 864 and getting my mom to fill out I 864 for joint sponsorship. She made about 20k, unfortunately I forgot that I added my brother to her tax return for 07 so she could file HOH. He is 24, and had a part time job, but didn't pay her rent and so forth. So now they will see that on her 07 return and assume that it will be that way again this year. Obviously, that isn't enough for a 3 person household of her, my brother, and immigrant.

I just can't find anything written anywhere on what to do, and oh yes, I can't find my brothers w2's they are for sure lost in the ozone.

I don't know when she will get her w2 for this year, and I could see about her filing single, but I rather didn't want to wait so long, maybe I have to. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Mariah

Just wanted to add, that I have myself and my daughter in my own household. I just started working in Oct and I was hired as a nurse only part time however my past pay stubs until now show out full time hours, which would put me over the income guidelines... but my workplace would most likely not write that out since they have not hired me full time, they only work me full time..... it's so frustrating for me.

But my question, doesn't my income count at all with my joint sponsors?

Oh yes, btw, I don't have any court ordered child support from my ex husband for my daughter...sometimes he helps and sometimes he whines. However I do pay my mom rent.... but there is nothing official to bear that out either and it's not likely that she'd like the idea of us filing her taxes with the rent I pay and the sporadic rent my brother gives her.

God why does it have to be so close but not good enough.
