Which( I-864 ) I need to fill?

[LARAN 0]

Hi,

I'm an American citizen (got my Citizenship via my husband0. I received recently Green card approval for my mother. I already paid the (AOS) fees on line and sent the DS-3032 by mail. Now they want me to fill one of the I-864 forms (I-864, I-864EZ, I-864A, I-864W)!!

I'm confused and I do not know which of the above forms I need to fill especially that I do not know who can sponsor my mother (me or my husband) ?

Please note:

I'm a house wife and I never worked in USA. My husband is the only one who is working, has a good income, we are both our house owners , and file joint Taxes yearly.

Which form out of the above I need to fill?

Thank you in advance

Lara

I filed i-864 for My mom too. It's important that you read the I-864 instructions. What I know is that because you're not working your husband must co-sponsor your mother. You have to fill it out but your husband has to co-sponsor this petition. Pay stub las six month, letter from employer, three income tax from las three years and I-864 done

You are the petitioner, therefore you are the primary sponsor. The primary sponsor must sign an I-864. Your husband can sign an I-864A to help you qualify.

Thank you both for your help!! I will use (I-864) and (I-864A).

-1--Can you please tell me what papers I need to send to proof my relations to my mother /and do they need to be original or copies?

If your petition was approved and you've already gotten the affidavit of support fee bill, which you said you've already paid (though how you did this without submitting the affidavit is unknown to me), then you should have already proven she's your mother. They wouldn't have accepted your I-130 if you hadn't proven that.

I'm confused. What stage of the process are you at?

[LARAN 0]

I applied for:

1-I-130 for my mother.

2-After 8 months I received by mail (I-130) approval + a letter from the immigration asking me to pay the (AOS) fees on line and to sent them the DS-3032 by mail. (Which I already did)

3-Now on my AOS payment page on the immigration web site I got direction to fill the I-864 forms.(I'm trying to do that now but I'm a little bit confused!! that is why I'm asking many questions

Thank you

I second this (I think) im also confused with this, i called and proposed my situation to te reps at the nvc and got 2 diff answers....my uncle who lives int eh same household that doesnt have me as a dependent will be my co-sponsor. I called and said that to one person they said he need to do the i-8864 like i was doing then i called again the other person said he needs to do the i-864A then i read a bit more into them and the i-864A is for combined income in a household....so I think im going to go with that one.....but will call one more time to break the 50/50 slit in answers i got some the nvm reps...smh this is a pity that i got a 50/50 answer split. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO KNOW THIS INSIDE OUT!!

Your uncle can't submit an I-864A. The I-864A is for a qualifying household member or a dependent of the sponsor. A qualifying household member must be related to the sponsor as spouse, adult child, parent, or sibling. Your uncle isn't related to you in any of these ways. He must sign an I-864.

The customer service reps for most US government agencies are trained in less than a week. They aren't trained in the laws and policies of the agency they work for. They are trained to use a customer service computer system. If they don't ask the computer system the right questions then they won't get the right answers.

Check box "d" for question 22, and write the date you arrived in the US. Write $0 for question 23. Write $0 for question 24, line "a". Write your husband's name on the first line for question 24, part "b". Relationship is "spouse". Write his income from the I-864A.

On the I-864A, be sure you fill out and sign part 2, sections 13 and 14. Be sure your husband fills out and signs part 3, sections 15 and 16. The I-864A requires that you include proof that the household member is a qualifying relative (your marriage certificate should suffice), and proof that the household member lives with you.

Enter the amount from your joint tax returns. As the form indicates, this should be the total income if you filed a 1040 or 1040A, or adjusted gross income if you filed a 1040EZ.

2-Regarding Form I-864a:

Part 1. Information on the Household Member. (You.). Is that me (PRIMRY SPONSER) or my husband (JOINT SPONSER)?

The household member is your husband. You, the primary sponsor, fill out and sign part 2 of the I-864A.

3- When I send the I-864 and the I-864a what more do I need to include besides the follwoing ,

copy of my last year tax return.

Marriage certificate.

Proof that we are sharing the same address (driver licenses , joint bank account and joint property).

Proof that my husband is an American citizen (copy of his passport and my passport).

Thank you in advance for your help!!

That's should be enough.

I appreciate your help. I’m almost ready to send the I-846 and I-846A tomorrow but we have a problem,

Our marriage certificate (we got married in our country) has my old husband’s first name. After he became an American citizen, he changed his first name. I know that I can provide a court copy of his name change but he can not find it anywhere (he never used since long time ago).

Now what to do to proof that we are a husband and wife? He is telling me that our joint Tax income is more than enough to proof that we are a husband and a wife.

I hope you can give us your input regarding this issue?

Thanks

I suggest he contact the court clerk where the name change was granted. They should be able to issue a certified copy of the court order granting his name change. A joint tax return is not proof that you're married. It's proof only that you claim to be married to the IRS.

Thanks a lot. My form is almost ready now
