I864 Question for USCIS Field Office Abroad filing(DCF)

[Granark 0]

Situation: I have currently submitted the I-130 to the USCIS field office in Guangzhou and am preparing the next set of documents listed in the requirements.

(3- The foreign spouse will be required to submit a DS-230 Part 1 (visa application) as well as several required items on a checklist that the consulate will provide. The checklist will include items such as a Police Certificate, Birth Certificate, Previous Divorce Records, an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), and others.)

I have a question about the Form I-864. (I am the petitioner and american citizen husband btw)

I plan to have a family member who has enough income to meet the income requirements sponsor my wife. I need to know what form this family member should fill out and what evidence to support it.

Do I also need to fill out the I-864 or can just my family member fill it out? (I don't have an income)

Also I have heard of a I-864a, does this apply for just non-DCF filings or does my family member need to fill out a I864a and not a I864.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You both need to fill in a I-864 and submit supporting docs (tax filings for 3 years or letter explaining why you didn't file, paystubs for your co-sponsor etc). The I-864a is for household members, such as if your co-sponsor is married, his wife would fill it out.

if the alien spouse wants to also add his or her income or assesrts does he or she fil out the I-864 or I-864A??

Will the alien spouses income continue from the same source when they immigrate to the USA? Only then can they include it, ie if they are getting an intra-company transfer. Assets might be included, but not all embassies will accept assets in a foreign country (for example the US embassy in Ireland didn't), so the beneficiary may need to move the assets to the US before the interview.

Definitely not another I-864. I think they could combine with yours on the same I-864 that you fill out, but they may need a I-864A as household member; hopefully someone else will come along and confirm.
