Guys, quick question. My parents are going to be my joint sponsors for my wife's CR-1 visa process. I know the I-864 is for myself, and the I-864a for my dad, whose home we will be staying in. My mom is also going to be a joint sponsor, but she and my dad are divorced. What form does she file since she isn't in the household? Let me know if you know anything, thanks for the answers.

Dad should do an I-864 as well. Does Dad's income meet the requirement for his household plus your spouse? If not, does Mom's?

Mom and dad cannot combine incomes as they are no longer married. So pick whomever has the highest income.

Ah, ok. Yes I my dad does make enough. I was wanting to be extra safe, but I thought that I could have a sponsor from outside the household? Does it not count for divorcees?

Mom can do an I-864 on her own. Only one joint sponsor will be accepted / used. No doubling up. Sounds like you are in good shape.

Ok, her assets are well above the poverty line but she is not working. My dad and I both have employment (I will be returning to work after I arrive back to America). Since my dad has enough income and will be in my household, seems like there wouldn't be much sense in making my mom do paperwork also if it won't be accepted or used. Thanks a lot for your help.
