Questions regarding sponsorship.

[Om&Abo Malik 12]

Hi again everyone. I learn more and more and then seems the more i learn the more questions are forming.

first lil history

i am residing in egypt wanting to file dcf. ofcourse here i am unemployed.

if my mom being the cosponsor would she have to prove 100% of the income burden? Because although i am here and i am not working my husband has income that will continue while we are in the usa and assets but it probably won't add up to the needed amount because of currency difference.

So what i am wondering will they add his income to my moms or is the burden strictly on my mom? How does his assets and income help us if it doesn't meet the full amount?

thanks if anyone knows answer to this one.

If your mom would be your co-sponsor, she should meet the 125% poverty line for her appropriate number of household. The 100% is only applicable to those serving in the armed forces. If you would still unable to meet the required income, you are entitled to a second co-sponsor, who likewise be able to meet the required poverty threshold. Goodluck!

Does the second co sponsor have to be a member of the same house?

A joint/co-sponsor, first or second, need notbe a relative nor living in the same house. What matters is that he/she is a domicile in the US (a US Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident), meets the 125% poverty guidelines and is willing to execute the affidavit of support I-864. If he is a member of the same household of the petitioner he needs to fill up the I-864EZ

For the co-sponsor who is a household member I-864A is required but not I-864EZ

Oooow! Yes, I864A is the right form. I'm so sorry again.

I think I864EZ are for those who doesn't need to have sponsors?

I don't know. I better stop talking I'd be wrong again.

Thank you for the correction Samoray.

You're very welcome, I-864EZ is an easier version of I-864,

Because to send the I-864EZ you have to meet certain criteria

1- you have to be the one who filed form I-130 for alien relative

2- there has to be only one immigrant relative you're sponsoring who is the only one listed on form I-130

3- the income you're using is based entirely on your salary or pension

so most people just go ahead and fill the I-864 to avoid confusion.

Good Luck

Hi there

my husabnd and me having a hard time to file the I-864! It's confusing and our case is a bit difficult too!

Here the problem: We don't have any living relatives anymore in US. His mom is US citizen, but lives here in Germany.

My family would love to help, but they all lives in Germany!

My husband is self-employed. Because of some personal (wasn't a great time for him!) and the economical crises last years he (the us-citizen) won't be able to reach the 125% poverty guidline only with his income and savings!

My income isn't counting, cause I won't have it anymore after immigrating.

My husband is living here for 10 years now. That means, he has only the German Tax-Returns, no Amerikan ones!

Now we are looking for the right way. Is the followig way right?

1.He has to file I-864 anyways (because he has to be the sponsor, even if his residency is Germany).

2.I could help(only) with my savings because after immigrating to US I wouldn't have any incomes (because I'm self-employed too and my own boss). Which has to be 3 times more than the difference from my husbands (annual)income to 125%.

3. I'm household member but my income isn't counting (form I-864a) because I have to find a job again in US. So do I need to file the form anyways? Seems not right to me, if nothing counts but my savings!

4. Guess I'm more the "principal sponsored immigrant" in that case, which means I shouldn't fill form I-864a.

5. If we still are under 125%, we have to find a co. sponsor or joint sponsor (has to live in US). He has to file a second I-864 for his income and his houshold member.

6. If still that's not enough we can find a second co. sponsor.

That's it!

Who can help?

We would be very greatfull for every help!

Hi, you might want to re copy the above post and start a new one as it may not get viewed under this one because it is an old post.

I wish i could be of assistance but i am still learning this whole process myself.

From what you said though, you will need a cosponsor who is us citizen who makes 125% of the poverty guidelines for their household size. That includes the sponsor, any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, regardless of where they live and the immigrant.

You would fill out one I-864 for your husband and the cosponsor would also submit same form.

repost it so that others who are more experienced can try to advise you

Ok! I started a new post! Thanks for your advice!

I also posted the next question there! It's so confusing!

I understand the same like you that, my husband and the co sponsor have to fill their own I-864. That means we will have 2 forms at the end, but the confusing thing here is, that my husband has to count me once in his houshold size and the co sponsor has also to count me once on his houshold size (even, if I wouldn't live with them). At the end I would be count twice!

If so, which poverts guidline would be the richt one? Because, my and my husband are 2, the cosponsor, his wife and me would be 3! Which one is now the richt number to find out which poverty guidline is to show!!!!
