Questions regarding form I-864 (Affidavit of Support)

[mikeghost 0]

Hello all,

Just a quick question regarding the Affidavit of Support form I-864, my wife (USC) will be filling this as she is the petitioner, and we will be using her father as a form of support also. Because her father will be a more reliable source of support, how do we do this? My wife won't have a lot of IRS information for support, but her father being a CEO and vice president of a major company, will have more than enough supporting IRS documents and such. Does my wife file the "I-864" with all the information she has got, and then have her father file an "I864a" (is that right)? I hope I have explained myself enough to have some feedback

correct.... both of them should file.... your wife should file the I-864, with all the necessary documents like income tax for the past 2-3 years and pay stubs even though she doesn't earn much still she should complete the necessary documents for she is the main sponsor... and your father in-law will be your co sponsor in which he should provide the same documents needed... Good luck!

Also I forgot to mention this before, in regards to Question 1 on Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support), the very first box, right before "1.a." and "1.b." there is a space for something, and then has "am the sponsor submitting this affidavit of support because". I'm guessing that this is a name input box, but how exactly do they want the name presented? like a statement with: I, "name of petitioner" am the sponsor ect. seems like the most suitable choice, but i'm just asking to be sure

hmmm no need to write "I" I guess just write your wife name and thats it...

Her father can sign a completed I-864 if they are not combining income. I-864a is for household members who are combining income generally.

so either way, if we use form "I-864" or form "I-864a", we should be okay?

My father in law's income alone is more than enough support.
