Should I include a form I-864A?

[smelimick1 3]

Hello everyone I was looking at form I-864 and started looking through it and even asked a queation about it. Okay so now I have another question lol.

My dad is going to be the joint sponsor and he by himself made 38,000 , 40,000 and 42,000 in 2012, 2013 and 2014 reapectively. Together qith my mom they both make 65,000 +.

My question is if I should or shouldnt make my mom fill out an I-864A since my dad does make more than the poverty income required for a household of 5( him my mother my brother me and my husband)?

Should i even bother to fill out this form? And also is an employment letter really necessary?

Weird, I actually posted a reply to you like an hour ago or something... Anyway, here it comes again.

Your dad makes more than enough to meet the federal poverty guidelines so no need for your mum to fill out a form as well.

I don't think he needs an employment letter since he has years of high income. However, if it's easy for him to get the employment letter then maybe better safe then sorry?!

Employment letters and/or pay stubs are proof of the ongoing current income and should be included.

If they file jointly you have a choice. Either your mom can supplement your father's I-864 with her I-864a OR your father can do it alone with only his income and include either his w2s with the tax return transcripts OR the entire tax return.

the thing is that I do not want my dad to go through the trouble of obtaining an employment letter lol

So when the time comes I can send my dad's I-864 with my mother's info filled out on her I-864A with out the need of obtaining an employment letter and copies of my dad's paystubs?

You never have to obtain an employer letter and/or pay stubs but it's a good idea to include them.

We did not include an employer letter and just included pay stubs.
