You as sponsor/petitioner fill out I-864. Your husband as household member fills out I-864a.

Since you file taxes jointly, you put joint income on both forms.

That's how I understand it. I do not have any income of my own at all, and we file jointly.

Joint sponsor is NOT a household member and files separate I-864.

Thanks, now it's clear that I will fill out I-864 and my husband I-864a and same income both forms.

I was trying to compute separately and was thinking how to balance the gross income. Thanks for the help

Yes, AOS I-864 for each parent. Now, you will have to wait for the NVC number and Invoice Identification number to be assigned, before you can do anything else, it takes 2-8 weeks. You can start call

Yes, same here, that was good to know. On to the next step...

The petitions for parents are separate, though, and only one parent is listed on each petition. My guess would be multiple persons applies to the beneficiary with dependents, i.e. IR-1/2 or K-3/4. AO

Make sure that the gross income on line 22 on the 1040 tax return is what on the total gross income you put on the I-864 form for part 6 no. 10.

guys, need a little help here..

My situation is like this...

1. I got divorced this year, but I we filed jointly for the past 3 taxing years... I didn't have income for , 2011, 2012 cos I was in school, and this year I just started working and I know at my current gross income as of this month, I know I've met the poverty guidelines, QUESTION: Can I only file I-864? then turn in paytubs from Jan 2013 until this month? (side note: I have the tax transcripts for 2010, 2011, 2013 under both our names.)

2. Since I'm considered single now, and I have a baby on the way, then mom.. QUESTION: Do I need to consider family of 3 now to base in poverty guideline?

Thank you much!

No, you figure it as the number of people living in your home at time of filing the form. The unborn baby does not count as a person until born.

With regards to your first question, I would just provide as much evidence of income as possible. I believe that its 6 months of pay stubs, but if you show that you were in school and have a job now with a stable income, then that will help to build the picture for USCIS.

i live with my boyfriend, and his son... Does this mean I have to claim them although they are not related to me in legal way?

I called USCIS today to find out if my cases were actually mailed and they said they won't check unless it's past 30 days since it was mailed. I'm not sure why NVC says 8 weeks when the approval notice and USCIS says to call after 30 days from motice date if no news from NVC.

8 weeks is ridiculous, unless they're walking it over from the service centers to NVC.Not even snail mail takes half that time.
