I-864

[April123 0]

Ok...

So....

-I am a college student

-I make no income

-My parents have filed Tax Returns for me the past, and they have filed once again this year and claimed me as a dependent

-My husband and I live seperately from them

-My parents are willing to fill out I-864 supporting my husband for AOS

-I will out an I-864 put the number zero like everywhere since I have no money

-I check the box marked a in the first question which states that I am the petitioner blah blah blah

-Parents filed tax return jointly. They exceed the 125% poverty guideline but only because of their joint income

Questions:

-Do my parents each fill out an I-864 seperately or together?

-If seperately, do they check box e "I am the __first __second of two joint sponsors" or just fill it out in box d which says "I am the only joint sponsor". If this were the case my mom or dad would only sign papers without the other one signing.

-I don't fill out I-864A right? Since we don't live with the parents?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

kewtbubbles,

I am confused about this issue of 2 Joint Sponsors. In the past, only 1 Joint Sponsor was necessary since a Joint Sponsor's household must be able to support the immigrant. There would never be a need for a 2nd Joint Sponsor.

That aside, either parent could be the Joint Sponsor and sign the I-864, both parent's financials can be shown on that I-864 if they jointly execute an I-864A.

So basically, one of my parents would fill out an I-864 and the other would fill out the I-864A?

kewtbubbles,

Yes and no. Read my post again and look at I-864A.

The reason why I'm so confused is because if you look in the most recent version of I-864, in the very first part, it has choices...this is what it says...

Part 1

I,___________, am the sponsor supporting this affidavit of support (Check only one box)

__a. I am the petitioner. I filed or am filing for the immigration of my relative.

__b. I filed a worker petition on behalf of the..................

__c. I have an ownership interest................

__d. I am the only joint sponsor.

__e. I am the __first __second of the two joint sponsors. (Check appropriate box)

__f. The original petitioner is deceased. I am the substitute sponsor. I am the intending imigrant's _________.

I chose the first one (option a) to fill out an I-864, but which one would my parents choose?

d or e?

And if they were to choose e would my mom be the first and my dad be the second meaning they would fill an I-864 each or would we choose e and have my mom fill out an I-864 and my dad would fill out an I-864A?

If my mom would choose option d then I would assume my dad would fill out an I-864A right?

Please help. I know this must be very annoying but I want to get this as soon as possible without having it returned to me asking me to do it again.

Thanks in advance.

kewtbubbles,

Are you looking at the instructions for these forms? I hadn't for the new I-864 when I first began posting in this thread, but now that I have I see that the instructions explain about 1 or 2 Joint Sponsors, and the instructions specifically explain how to select the proper box for this Part 1.

If you look at I-864A it has parts 1 and 3 clearly labeled for the Household Member and part 2 clearly labeled for the Sponsor (who would be a Joint Sponsor, in the situation that you are proposing) - clearly it is not completed by the Household Member alone, as I told you in my first post in this thread.
