i-864 & co-sponsors

[aleful 1,905]

Your father's household size does not include you. He is not your household member. He is the joint sponsor. His household will include himself, his spouse, any "dependent children" and any immigrants previously sponsored that are NOW green card holders.

You and your parents would only count as part of the same household if you were his dependent on tax returns (most recent) of if you were combining income. HE does not need to combine income with you, so will not.

You are the immigrant on all forms.

NO.

please read the OP he is the beneficiary, his wife is the petitioner and her parents, not his, are the co sponsors

so the beneficiary goes on both i864, his information is provided on both forms, on his wife's i864 as she is his sponsor and in her dad's i864 as the person being petitioned

then ???

my wife has to write my details in the part-2 and what my father in law has to write in part-2 of their i-864 ???

You are the immigrant. PERIOD. Nobody else is being sponsored.

I get that I left of the "in-law" part and wrote part of my answer as if the OP was the petitioner. However, his wife is the primary sponsor, her father the joint sponsor and her mother is her father's household member. NOBODY is a co-sponsor on ANY I-864 EVER.

The OP, sadly is not reading the I-864 or it's instructions but is trying to get spoon fed the information on how the three Americans are supposed to complete forms in his behalf. Read the instructions first.

hey i am a little bit confuse about the affidavit of support

my wife is a main sponsor(she is sponsoring me) , she filed I-864 for me and her father (my father in-law) is our co-sponsor so, he filed I-864A . rght???

Wrong,

Your father in-law is a joint sponsor. Second, he needs to also complete an I-8864. Your mother in-law would complete an I-864A.

Your FIL's household count would be 5 in this scenario, here's the breakdown:

• him
• your MIL
• the two people he already sponsored
• you

If you read what I posted, you should not now be confused. I clearly stated you needed two I-864 forms and one i-864a and from whom. Do you have remaining questions? If you do, please first read the answers you've already been given, then read the I-864 instructions. If you are still confused, ask what you need to ask.

this is a very tough situaion for us bec for 5 house hold members my father in-law income never meet the poverty guidelines :(

can i choose the other option i want to tell u :

my wife annual income for 2013 years is $13,600 and she has cash balance in her account some thing like $10,000

can i use only my wife as a primary sponsor ??? (not including her father and mother )

NVC will count her personal assets to meet poverty guide lines ???(poverty guide lines in our case for 2 house hold member is $19,387 )

Her annual income( $13,600) + personal bank balance ($10,000) assets will be little bit more then the poverty guide line

Carefully read the I-864 instructions when it comes to using assets, your alternate option is unlikely to be accepted.

sorry i read all the instructions carefully for I-864

my wife's annual income( $13,208) for recent 2013 year + Her Uncle will give her $20,000 to deposit in her savings account

so the total income will be counted as $13,208 +$ 6666 (20,000/3) = $19,874 m i right ??? after that my wife will qualify as a principle sponsor for me???

poverty guidelines shows 2 household size income = 19,387

and what type of documents she will needed from the bank. Ex: last few months statements is kk

help me guys

thank you in advance

Probably won't work. For using cash assets to qualify, the Consular Officer wants to see several months of bank statements showing the cash has been there for a while. Six months would be good. You've got to stop looking at this like meeting the minimum is going be enough. This is a judgment call for the Consular Officer.

Your petitioner is always the primary sponsor. If the petitioner qualifies, they are the ONLY sponsor.

sir then what to do ???

As in my case 3 years before ,my father in law sponsored 3 persons also my mother in-law is filling taxes together + their son (my son in-law) is dependent on them

if they become my joint sponsor the total house hold size would be 7 and their 2013 income is $27,000 (jointly feeling) which is under the poverty guidelines for 7 people

what is the other options available for me??? advise me please

my wife changed her job recently. so,her 2013 tax returns is addition of previous work(5 months)+ current work (7 months)

but in this current job her annual earning is 23,000 which is fix and may be above it

Is there any way we can use this things in our case ???

[pushbrk 12,887]

A person qualifies based on their current income, so based on what you write above, your wife qualifies for a household of two without any help from others. It is a common mistake to think one must have qualifying income for all the past years. It's also a common mistake to confuse last year's income with current income.

If your wife has a job now, with $23,000 in income, she qualifies for a household of two. Use her current income where it asks for current income and document that with a current pay stub. Then correctly indicate her income from the past three years where asked.

Your wife's brother is your brother inlaw, not your son in law.
