F2A and I-864 with 2 sponsors and household member

[nm123 0]

I am so confused as to how to fill out the Affidavit of Support with our situation. I am a USC living with USC Husband and LPR Mother-in-Law. My Mother-in-Law has petitioned her daughter. And I am the original sponsor of my Mother-in-Law. On our taxes for 2014 we listed my Mother-in-Law as a dependent, along with my 2 children. What is the best way to fill out the I-864 and I-864A for my sister-in-law (who is being petitioned by Mother-in-Law)?

Here is the scenario: unemployed LPR Mother with self-employed USC Son and employed Daughter-in-Law and 2 grandchildren; LPR Mother has petitioned her underage child

Does the LPR Mother submit I-864 with Household Size as 2 (her and child she is petitioning), listing her income as $0, writing a letter stating she is unemployed as the reason for not filing taxes

AND I fill out I-864 (since I earn more than the USC Son) with Household Size as 5 (for self, husband, LPR Mother-in-Law who is listed as a dependent in 2014 1040, and 2 dependent children), USC Son fills out I-864A as Household Member and since he is self-employed, he fills out I-864A as the Household Member?

Also, on the IRS section of the I-864 do I fill out my INDIVIDUAL income? And my husband also fills out his I-864A with his INDIVIDUAL income? We filed jointly for the past 3 yrs.

Hi,

MIL files an I-864 as the Sponsor/Petitioner. She list her income as zero and includes a letter stating that she is not required to file because she had no income.

You file an I-864. Your household count is 6 - you, husband, MIL, 2 kids, and the intending immigrant. Husband files an I-864a as your household member. Each of you will report only your income on your separate AOS.

Best of luck.

Thanks! Does MIL list her household number as 2 or 1?

Does the LPR Mother submit I-864 with Household Size as 2 (her and child she is petitioning)

Yes if LPR mother in law is unmarried.

AND I fill out I-864 (since I earn more than the USC Son) with Household Size as 5 (for self, husband, LPR Mother-in-Law who is listed as a dependent in 2014 1040, and 2 dependent children), USC Son fills out I-864A as Household Member and since he is self-employed, he fills out I-864A as the Household Member?

Yes. Your husband only needs to do I-864A if your income is not enough.

Also, on the IRS section of the I-864 do I fill out my INDIVIDUAL income? And my husband also fills out his I-864A with his INDIVIDUAL income? We filed jointly for the past 3 yrs.

What is the "IRS section of the I-864"? In the part that asks for your current individual income, put your current individual income. The current household income is the sum of your current individual income and the current income of your husband if you decide to count his income.

In the quetion that asks for the "total income" number on your tax returns, you put exactly the number it says on the "total income" line on your tax returns, no matter how you filed. Since you filed jointly, this will be the "total income" number on your joint tax return, so it should be the same on your I-864 and his I-864A.

Could it be like this?:

MIL files I-864 as the sponsor, no income, the household size is 6; nm123 files an I-864a as MIL's household member; if the income is still no sufficient, Husband files another I-864a.
