i-864 form

[jonandrachel 2]

So, pretty much as the description details... Can my new US father-in-law act as my sponsor, just as he was for my original petition? Or, does he need to be a joint sponsor, which therefore would mean both he and my wife would have to complete form i-864?

My wife was never the original sponsor as she is a student and therefore financially not suitable.

If my father-in-law can be the only sponsor, does he select option a) in question 1) on the form - i.e. he is the petitioner, filing for the immigration of a relative?

All help, much appreciated

Thanks

Jon

This is a new process so what you did before doesn't really matter now. There are instructions to download separate from the I-864 form. Read several times and don't depend on short answers from the forum.

My short answer-- each do their own complete I -864. She checks 1a. He checks 1d

Thanks, i will be downloading the instructions.

Are you able to give me a quick heads up on form i-864a, i only found out about it today and just looking at it is confusing. It looks like i, the immigrant, needs to complete it, yet some of the questions appear aimed at the sponsor. Help?

My quickie example for that is-- if a sponsor like FIL doesn't earn enough himself, he can add his wife's income (as a household member) to the pot on item 24b. She has to give her permission. I-864A is the permission slip she signs. If FIL can show his separate income (like with a W2 form or payslips, or employer letter) is enough, then no need to list any household member's income on 24b. If nobody is listed, then no I-864A form.

The immigrant never does an I-864A.

Your spouse as primary sponsor completes the I-864 regardless of income.

If your spouse's income is zero, or close to it, then have the FIL complete an I-864 (including all required supporting documents) as well.
