We're not this far in the visa process, but I want to be clear on something so I'm not surprised later by it.

At http://www.uscis.gov/i-864 it states:

If you are using the income of persons in your household or dependents to qualify as a sponsor, you must also submit a separate Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, for each person whose income you will use.

I thought that when USCIS figures out if you have the money to support your beneficiary that they only look at the petitioners income and you can't get them to look at a households combined income, does the I-864A say I was mistaken and they will if it's filled out?

Thanks

The I-864A is if you need a co-sponsor and they live with you right now. Otherwise you are supposed to submit 2 I-864s. (one for you and one for the co-sponsor that DOES NOT live with you). The only way you can use a benificiary's income is if they can transfer within the company and still be employed by the same company in the US...

Ok, I had the wrong Affidavit of support in mind, though I still appreciate the clarification on the I-864 and I-864A.

The more immediate issue is the I-134 and a co-sponsor. If I should place this post elsewhere let me know and I'll do so. Does the co-sponsor fill out the I-134 as well, if so how do we differentiate the sponsor and the co-sponsor to USCIS?

Thanks,

Check and see if your consulate accepts a I-134 by a co-sponsor.

I've tried looking online and haven't found anything that says one way or the other, especially as I haven't found much that even mentions a co-sponsor. Is there a place I should look or should I just contact the consulate and ask?

Thanks
