HEllo guys,

I'm the petitioner and I need my mom to be my co-sponsor cause I have problem with my income. What form should my mom use, I-864 or I-864A??? She lives in different household. I already asked this before and some people here said she must use I-864A. And now im confused cause I've read in Lingche shortcut and it said CO-Sponsor NOT IN SAME HOUSEHOLD will use I-864 and CO-sponsor in SAME HOUSEDOLD will use I-864A

Now I'm confused pls tell me what is the right form for my co-sponsor. Thank u

My mother-in-law, the petitioners mother, lives IN the same household as us. She filled in I-864A. Your mom doesn't live with you.

The I-864A is "A Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member". You require your Mom to fill in another I-864, so one for you and one for her. It's stated on page 3 of the I-864 that a joint sponsor is anyone who doesn't live in the petitioners household, regardless of whether they are family or not.

HI thanks for your reply. I will email mom now to fill up I-864. Thank u so much. God bless

yup. that's right. I-864-A for people in the same household. I-864 if the co-sponsor is NOT in the same household. God bless always. Good luck!

Thank you guys for all the information...

ANyway, do we need to notarized the I-864 or not?

[jhcruz18 3]

nope the I-864 doesn't need to be notarized like before. The sponsors will be signing under the penalty of perjury that is why notarization isn't required anymore. God bless.

Hello,

We are planning to use a joint-sponsor, I am wondering if the joint-sponsor NEEDS to follow the poverty guidelines? My husband's household size is = 3 (himself, me and our son) so that means the total household size is 4? thanks!
