help with filling out the Affidavit of support

[Chip+Susanne 3]

My fiancé's mom(fiancé is the USC) wants to sponsor us. The tax papers are filled out by her and her husband. They always file jointly. I know that my fiancé has to fill out the Affidavit of support and in addition his mom because she will be our co-sponsor. Does her husband have to sign the paper too? Since it always says 'i, the applicant' etc..., so I would think, only his mom has to sign but the tax papers that they will include as proof will be on both their names as one unit/one person. Or do we need a third affidavit of support and the dad has to fill one out individually? Can somebody give me advise?

AS they file jointly just one name but their tax business does not come up till you apply for AOS and fill in I-864

Thanks a lot! So now we are filing Form i-134 for the K1 visa interview, that only his mom will sign? We wanted to add tax transcripts from 2008 and 2009 as proof or supporting documents. My interview will probably be in March, so my fiancé and his parents may have not filed their 2010 taxes until then. I heard tax transcripts are enough, and bank statements etc. are not needed.

The I-134 is for an individual with no opportunity to combine incomes. The joint sponsor's income needs to qualify on it's own. In this case the mom's income must be enough to meet the requirement. Her joint tax transcript/return along with supporting documentation for only mom's income (W2, 1099, etc.) or recent pay stubs and employer letter would be used to do prove sufficient income.

Later when filing the I-864 at Adjustment of status the in-laws' income can be combined. For the I-134 it cannot.

Do you know if the embassy accepts copies of the form I-124 or does it have to be the original?
