I864 Questions

[Shamimmunni 0]

Hi All,

My wife has applied for her parents for immigration visas (I130). She filed separate applications (Form I130) for her father and mother and they got approved at the same time. She does not work. So I am filing I864A along with her I864. Below are my questions;

1. We paid AOS fee $120 for one parent and looks likes it was applied to other parent too. Does she need to file separte I864 for each parent as well? If yes, how to answer to question 2 in Part 3? While mother is a principal immigrant, is father to be considered as a family member who would be immigrating with the principal immigrant?

1.Would putting zero as her individual income disqualify her to be the petitioner? (Please refer Form I864, Part 2, Question 2)

I appriciate you for taking time to reply to my questions. Thank you

yes

If yes, how to answer to question 2 in Part 3? While mother is a principal immigrant, is father to be considered as a family member who would be immigrating with the principal immigrant?

Don't check that box. That is for family members immigrating on the same petition. Each of her parents is petitioned on a separate petition.

1.Would putting zero as her individual income disqualify her to be the petitioner? (Please refer Form I864, Part 2, Question 2)

(You mean Part 6 question 2?) No.

Thanks a lot newacct.

Some additional questions. We file our tax return as married jointly

1. Should she check yes in 18a?

2. Should she put my gross income in 19 (even her income was none)

Thank you

1. Should she check yes in 18a?

Yes, if she filed a tax return for each of those 3 years.

2. Should she put my gross income in 19 (even her income was none)

She should put exactly the number it says on the "total income" line on the tax returns for those years.

Thank you newacct. One last question I guess.

In I864A, under Part 5, should I put the pricinipal immigrant's name (from I864) as an intending immigrant?

your help is greatly appreciated.
