Qestion regarding filling out AOS

[santoshaparna 0]

If I'm having a joint Sponsor, I know that the sponsor has to fill out a 1864A, but does the joint sponsor have to fill out a 1864 like me or just the 1864A. Thanks.

The Sponsor always fills out a I-864.

I-864a is for household members who will be Joint-Sponsors.

If the J-S is not a household member, then they fill out the I-864.

The joint sponsor will be my father, so he just has to fill out the 1864A right?

Please see my comment in your other post.. I question you'll need him.. but to answer:

If you are living in the same household as him, and you are claiming him as a "household member" on YOUR I-864, then he would fill out a I-864a, and your incomes can 'pool' together (based on the new forms).

If you do not live with him, he is just a J-S , who fills out a I-864... (then he is not a household member on your form)...

If your father is a household member, then he can fill out I-864A, if not, then I-864.

zixuandavid,

Points of clarification

- I-864A is completed jointly by the Sponsor and the Sponsor's Household Members, or by the Joint Sponsor and Joint Sponsor's Household Members, who are making their financial resources available to the Sponsor or to the Joint Sponsor. It is used with Household Members who will act as contributing Household Members, but not with a Household Member who will act as the Joint Sponsor.

- I-864 is completed by the Joint Sponsor, if any, whether or not they might be a Household Member.

now I'm confused, so my father who is my JS will have to fill out the I864 and the 1864A and I have to fill out the I864?

santoshaparna,

Do you live with your father?

If so, then you can either use your father as a contributing (my term) Household Member. You include his financial information with yours on your I-864 and you and he jointly fill out an I-864A. Or, you can use your father as the Joint Sponsor and you and he each fill out separate I-864s with your individual financial information.

If you do not live with your father then your father can only be the Joint Sponsor, and you and he each fill out your separate I-864s.

thanks for clarifying...

I had 'advice' more on my mind than 'definition' ...

The new ruling "allows, but does not require, sponsors to include the income of any relative in the household who is not a dependent if (1) the sponsor includes the relative as part of the sponsor’s household size, and (2) the relative completes a Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member (Form I-864A)."

And this [above method] is what I had in my mind..

One can have a person who resides at the same residence not be listed as part of the "household size" and "household income" on the sponsor's I-864.. and then that J-S would fill out their own I-864 instead of using the idea quoted above...

It just should be remembered that in the former idea, the incomes can pool together but cannot in the latter. I'm just not seeing a compelling reason to do the latter, but it does nevertheless exist as a viable option as Yodrak correctly pointed out. Thanks again.
