Question about affidavit of support & joint-sponsors

[John&Lena 17]

Hey y'all!

I have been looking up things to get to know more about the affidavit of support, but I keep finding contradicting answers.

My fiance has a part-time job and does not meet the required ammount (or whatver you'd call it), so his mother is going to be the joint/co-sponsor.

This is allowed, right?
Or is it a problem because it is the same household?

• if ur mother in law is living with you as well, shows she is willing to share income. you still separately fill out a regular affidavits of support

That's allowed. It's quite usual for it to be someone in the same household (a family member).

She's not living with me, I'm the beneficiary. It's his mother, she's back in MS.

The link given in this thread was for an I-864A, which is used by a household member in conjunction with the USC sponsor's I-864. That is for a spousal visa, not the K-1.

For the K-1 an I-134 is used. The USC petitioner and the co-sponsor will each fill out their own separate I-134 and provide their supporting documentation. The co-sponsor needs to meet the requirement for their own household plus the beneficiary.

So I don't need the I-864/I-864A at all, only the affidavit I-134 for both my fiance and his mother?

Just making sure.

Yes. the I-864 will be needed later when you file for AOS after you are married. The I-134 is used for the K-1. The USC petitioner is the primary sponsor, even if they do not meet the requirement, so they must still fill out the I-134 and provide their supporting documentation. His mother fills out her own separate I-134 and provides her supporting documentation as the co-sponsor. There is no combining of incomes with the I-134. The co-sponsor needs to meet the requirement on their own. You can always contact your consulate to double check what would be needed to use a co-sponsor there.
