I-864A confusion

[Paloma&Adam 1]

Tax transcripts alone won't work in this circumstance. He should state only his own income and document it with W2 forms either as part of a complete tax return or in addition to the tax transcript.

Unless your wife lives at home with her parents, he can't use the I-864a. He would provide the I-864. If they all live together, you can solve the problem with an I-864a from each parent.

this is as I thought, thanks!

So to confirm, as we will all be living in the same household, my father in law completes I-864A and includes W-2's along with the IRS transcripts which are joint with his wife?

We only require him as a co-sponsor, not his wife.

Obviously I realize my wife must still complete the I-864 as normal.

Thought i'd add, my mother in law is recently unemployed so no need for her to complete an I-864A, father in law meets the level of income on his own.

if someone can confirm that all we need are the IRS transcripts and his W-2s showing individual income, that would help

thats what we did mate. my wife, fil and mil live in the same house. wife did 864 and fil did 864a. wife was on disability and doesnt file taxes, so she just wrote a letter confirming her status. fil did transcripts and w2. mil didnt fill out anything.

and also copies of his bio page in his passport and front and back of driving licence to confirm id, status and address.

pleasure mate. anytime. im hoping they fly you through the nvc. im not sure if you know but you can sent pretty much bang on the same info to the nvc as you did to the uscis, requesting an expedite. we did, just had some doctors re-address letters to the nvc instead of the uscis. they even accepted letters we'd used specifically for the uscis too. plus scanning the info and emailing them takes a huge chunk of time off too.
