co-sponsor affidavit of support

[Likna 0]

Hello VJ friends. I have a question regarding a co-sponsor affidavit of Support. My husband's cousin is helping us by filling in a co-sponsor Affidavit of support. The accountant who helped my husband to fill in his affidavit of support, told that his cousin's wife signature will also be needed. So, I am confised since I haven't read anything about it in the instructions. Why would his wife's signature be needed if the joint sponsor is just my husband's cousin? I would really appreciate your help in clearing my confusion

My best guess is that if the sponsor co-files with his wife (where both their names are on the tax return or w-2) they want acknowlegement that the partner has knowledge and gives their consent to the sponsor agreement. A couple was delayed a few weeks ago because they needed the partners signature.

We filled out an I-864a for my mom, to accompany my dad's I-864 as my co-sponsor. Good advice from the lawyer!

I have another question to make sure I understood it. Did you still fill in I-864 besides I-864a for your mom and your dad's I-864?

In our case, my husband is filling in I-864 (he doesn not have a job now), and his cousin is filling another I-864 as a joint sponsor since he is not in the same household. The accountant told that his wife has to sign too. So, would that mean that in this case we have to submit 3 affidavits, is that right?

We did submit the 3 affidavits ( I-864 for me and my father with I-864a for my mom), the denial was at our embassy and that is exactly what they asked for from the other case. I would think that if the partner just signs the I-864 that should suffice.

That is correct. If your co-sponsor filed a joint return, both individuals on the tax return must submit an affidavit. So, your spouse would fill out I-186, your co-sponsor would fill out I-864, and your co-sponsor's wife, would submit I-864A because they live in the same household.

This is not correct. Only if the sponsor needs to combine income with a household member would an I-864a be needed. I've addressed how to use the joint sponsor in the identical thread in the K3 forum.

Thank you very much! Now it's clear
