I'm resending this...I think it may have gotten missed, and I could really use guidance on it....

I'm preparing to send in my AOS and IV packages for my wife on Monday, and I had

a couple of questions I'm hoping one of you might be able to help me out with.

I had no income in 2009, and my parents are each being

cosponsors. No problem with the income guidelines, but I'm confused as to what

figures to use on the forms as they are joint filers. On the i864, it asks me

to list my cosponsors and each of their current incomes, then to total them

(question 24). What do I do? Divide their joint income evenly by two?

Similarly, but not identically, on the i864a, it asks for my sponsors 'current

individual income' (question 10). What goes there? Do I divide in two for

their joint return for each of their i864a?

My norther-in-law is ill. She has high blood pressure and some heart problem. I was talking to my wife last night and I'm really not good at consoling people. I didn't know what to say or do. Wish it's nothing serious and she gets well soon. She's really a lovely lady. I never got the evil-MiL vibe from her.

rhein- If you are using both of the incomes then you can put whoever you wish you list 1st on the I-864. I mean, if you are filing out the I-864A for you mom then your dad's individual income from his W2's or whatever he has proving his income for 2009. The same would go for your mom. On the I-864A, you would list all of the W2's totals or whatever she is using for income. :thumbs: I hope that made sense.

Pleasure is mine Loto :) We had a great time talking a whole bunch of things and I felt privileged to be one of the first one's Loto is meeting in person. He is such a cool headed guy and very methodical like the loto we see every day on VJ. :P

We plan to meet sometime again. Hopefully some more VJ'ers can join us then.

Update - I met today svenkatc (VJ member) and had lunch together. It was nice to be with a VJer and spend time together :star:

Rhein,

The responses below.

Loto

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had no income in 2009, and my parents are each being cosponsors.

If they live with you (sponsor), you will file I-864 and they will file I-864A

If they live at different address, you will file I-864 and they will file I-864

No problem with the income guidelines,

This is very good.

but I'm confused as to what figures to use on the forms as they are joint filers. On the i864, it asks me

to list my cosponsors and each of their current incomes, then to total them

(question 24). What do I do? Divide their joint income evenly by two?

You will not divide. Enter each one's income separately from their current year employment letter or the income from the last year W2/1099 etc.

Similarly, but not identically, on the i864a, it asks for my sponsors 'current

individual income' (question 10). What goes there? Do I divide in two for

their joint return for each of their i864a?

Again you will not divide. Enter each one's income separately from their current year employment letter or the income from the last year W2/1099 etc.
