I-864 for both parents

[Richard-UK 2]

Good morning all

My daughter is completing the I-864 prior to our NOA2 just to make sure she has everything in place.

She just asked the following question:

'With the affidavit of support. Should I fill it out in my husbands name as it requires information about employers?'

Now my daughter is the petitioner for the I-130 so I assume that she should complete the I-864 in her name. She is currently taking a break from teaching following the birth of our Grandson so all the current income is from her husband.

I would appreciate any advice.

Many thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

Your daughter has to fill out the I-864 as she is the petitioner. When a petitioner does not meet the 125% poverty level, the petitioner can have a joint sponsor. Her husband can be a joint sponsor on the petition by filling out form I-864a. Your daughter and son-in-law would be jointly liable to reimburse the government if the beneficiary receives means-based benefits during the period of ineligibility.

Many thanks for your reply.

I had just found the I-864a link and suspected that was the route!

Thanks for the confirmation, another box ticked!

Best wishes to you
