AOS help needed

[786_Ahmed 0]

Hello, My wife (US Citizen) filed I-130 for her Father and Mother with USCIS that was approved and NVC is processing the case. NVC sent us the invoice for AOS. My wife and I (US Citizen) file our taxes jointly. She is a Home Maker and my income level does not qualify for both her parents. We have a joint sponsor whose income qualify for his household size and both my wife's parents. Will my wife still need to file I-864 do we also need I-864A or just our joint sponsor file I-864 since we know our income does not qualify and his alone does for both my wife's parents?

The petitioner always has to file an I-864 regardless of income. Since you don't make enough it's not necessary for you to do the I-864A. Since you file taxes jointly, your wife has to prove her share of the income. You said she's a homemake, so I assume she's self employed, meaning she should attach the full tax return where it shows schedule C. Also it happened to me for being self employed that they requested a letter of self employment on top of the full tax return.

Now the joint sponsor files his own I-864 and his spouse and/or household members can file an I-864A if they will combine their income with his. If he makes enough on his own and will not be using a household member like his spouse, he has to prove his share of the income if he files taxes jointly.
