Hi! MY husband accepted the job as a US gov't. civillian employee in Japan. While we are having the same mailing address in the U.S., he will have a different residence address in Japan as I do since I thought of staying for a while in the U.S. Which form then, he will have to use as a joint sponsor? I have no income so I will definitely rely on him being the joint sponsor for my father. Will he will have to sign another I-864 or can he do the I-864A even if we don't have the same principal residence or the living in the same household for awhile??Pls enlighten me.Thanks.

864 = primary sponsor and joint sponsor if they do not live with you. (primary sponsor will always use the 864)

864A = joint sponsor if they live in the same household as you.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.
