So consulate says we need a sponsor. My dad is happy for us to use him as a sponsor. His income is enough but he's filed a joint return with my mom. We don't want to fill out the i864a for my mom. For 19a-c, do I only put his part of the 1040 income? How do I separate that out?

He will need the complete tax return (or transcripts) including all his W2's. A letter from an employer stating his salary also will help.

Sorry, forgot to add that I'm pretty sure that the line on the form would be his own income from his final W2, but I would wait to see if anyone can confirm or correct me on that.

Often they will ask for the I-864A to indicate that the sponsor spouse (your mom in this instance) is aware of the sponsor's obligation.

Yes, your dad is only indicating his income on the I-864 that he will sign. Past year's income will be supported by W2's, 1099's,etc. Current income will be supported by recent paystubs and an employer letter.

Remember that any US citizen or green card holder can be a sponsor. To keep family harmony maybe that's an option.
