Hi all,

We are getting the documents together to file for the AOS and I have a question about the I-864. Even though I have a job, I am having my dad be a co-sponsor just for added insurance. He works and my mom doesn't, however they file their taxes as "married filing jointly." Does this mean that my mom has to fill out an I-864a form?

Thank you!

A tax return or transcript shows the income all lumped together. If you can clearly show USCIS Dad's separate income is enough, then they won't be asking for an I-864a from Mom. Otherwise they might assume a portion of the joint income was earned by her at a job. Show Dad's sepatate income with his W2 and then add in an employer letter or 6 months pay slips. Don't forget to show his citizenship or permanent resident proof.
