AOS Co-Sponsor I864

[MariaElizabeth92 5]

I sent AOS off early December, but filled it out incorrectly. I have two cosponsors - both of my husbands parents - even though I am sure one would suffice.

My husband is in full time college with a GI bill and so we have a small income from that and his schooling is paid.

When we sent the AOS off to begin with, we put both cosponsors in, however we filled out forms I864A for them and not I864 - this was the problem. They've looked at it and assumed we don't have enough financial support. A couple of weeks ago, we redid the forms and they have been sitting ready to send off... now, my husbands mum is quitting work THIS week. They both work at the same place, and also have a business side project. My Mother in Law has quit her full time job so they can better pursue their business. My Father in Law is still in full time employment.

My question is this. Do we just send all the forms off with both cosponsors and stating that my mother in law is employed, or do we scratch her off the cosponsor list?

For the record, we both have savings and are good with money, we're not taking a dime from either parent!

We also have a 9 month old, but he is classed as an American Citizen... on the forms, are cosponsors financially responsible for him? I assumed not...

You can only have one joint-sponsor, so pick Dad.

Send:

I -864 from spouse, his latest (2012) tax return and any proof of the Income from he gets if it is now more than what the tax return shows.

I-864 from Dad, his latest (2012) tax return with W2 (or a tax return transcript) and any proof of his separate income. That is because his tax return filed with Mom would be a big lump sum of both their incomes. So if Dad makes enough on his own, an employer letter stating what he makes shows his separate income. And his pay stubs show his income. Also send proof he is a US citizen.

There is one joint sponsor only and a joint sponsor fills out an I-864. The I-864A is used by a qualifying household member to go along with a sponsor/joint sponsor's I-864. If the mom is not working, then she will have no income and no need to fill out an I-864A to go along with dad's I-864.

So, USC husband fills out I-864 and provides his supporting documentation, most recent tax transcript and proof of current income. The joint sponsor dad fills out his own separate I-864 and provides his most recent tax transcript plus his W-2 to prove his individual income, since he files jointly with mom. He should also provide proof of his current income and proof of being a USC or LPR.

Unless the joint sponsor dad claims your husband or child on his taxes, then they are not counted in his household size; only you, the intending immigrant would be.
