I-864A question

[Bron Chase 1]

Quick question - my income isn't currently enough so I'm using my father as a co-sponsor. I emailed my parents and asked them to send me the affidavit of support stuff. My dad sent me an I-864 with his and my mother's income both listed, and then an I-864A with my mother's income listed. They both make more than is needed on their own but they decided to fill out the I-864A because they file their taxes jointly. So my questions -

- Should I even be submitting an I-864A if my co-sponsor makes enough on his own?

- If I do submit an I-864A as well is it me (the spouse) that signs the I-864A as the "sponsor" or does the "co-sponsor" sign as the "sponsor"? (I'm pretty sure it's the co-sponsor since that's the person who is living with the household member on the I-864A but just want to make sure).

Thanks for the help

Yes you still need to submit your form and you each sign your own forms.

You also need the last 3 yrs of tax return transcripts for you and your co-sponsor.

You as the spouse are always the primary sponsor, even if you have no income at all. You need to fill in a I-864, NOT I-864A.

Thanks for the replies, I think I should have phrased my questions differently. I am definitely submitting my own I-864 and I have the last three years tax info for me, my mother, and my father. Since my co-sponsor (my father)filed his taxes jointly with my mother (household member)they filled out an I-864 (father) and I-864A (mother). Since my father makes enough on his own, is it ok that my co-sponsor (father) listed my mother's income as well on his I-864, or is this not allowed because my father makes enough on his own (the I-864A instructions seem to suggest that this isn't allowed, but it's unclear). If it is ok to still have my mother's income on my father's I-864 and submit an I-864A with my mother's info am I considered the "sponsor" on the I-864A or is my father? (the I-864A is an agreement between the sponsor and a person living with them that's helping with the income requirement so I'm thinking this will be my father, the co-sponsor). Basically I need to know if my parents have to send me some corrected forms or if I'm good with the ones I have.
