Do my parents file their own i864 or the i864A as co sponsors?

Well, I do not meet the finacial requirements for the cr1- visa. I make under 5,000 doing chores for my dad, so i don't file taxes. I'm also a college student. In other words, my parents support me. I want to use them as my co-sponsors. DO they file the I864 or the i864A? I live in their house, but they havent claimed me in their taxes since i was 21, but they do support me. Would i have to file i864 if i have never filed my taxes, since i never made enough and ive been in school?

BTw, of topic question. Should my wife get a passport with my last name since were are married? I know some say that she doesnt have to. Can she though? or will it slow down the process.

Please help me with these questions!!

Hi, I'll try to answer your qustions:

1. Since you and your parents live in the same address, your parents will use I-864A forms.

2. As a main sponsor, you still have to file I-864 even though you don't file taxes. You also need to write an explanation letter about why you don't file tax.

3. Your wife doesn't have to change her name in her passport, but of course she can do that if she wants to. According to my experience, that won't slow down the process.

Hope that helps. Good luck!!
