Recvd checklist for i864

[selinaxx89 4]

We received our checklist today letting us know that the option we selected was incorrect.

Husband and I are obviously married, and we filed joint tax returns and so we are using both of our income. I filled out a 864a along with hubbies 864.

I am confused because I had called NVC on this and they told me to select that my husband was the first of the sponsors and to check off "I am the" and the "first" box. Now I am being told that the option should selected is incorrect and to update it.

I have attached an image of what I selected. Does anyone know what I need to check off?

I am not sure the photo uploaded so what I am talking about is the part one of the 864 form which reads basis for filing affidavit of support you check off one option.

I selected the I am the first of two joint sponsors.

hi

we need more information, who are you filing for? are you a joint sponsor?

we need to know if you or your husband is the petitioner or one of you is the joint sponsor and the other is the household member

I am sorry. My husband a US citizen is filing for his two parents who live in Mexico

That makes my husband the petitioner. I am considered a household member because I am the wife. and I believe I am a joint sponsor because our income is tied together by us filing married filing jointly.

hi

no, there is a difference between the joint sponsor and the household member, the joint sponsor files a i864 as the only joint sponsor, you are filing the i864A as his household member and adding your income on his i864, he is the sponsor, and you are the household member

the petitioner always marks I am the petitioner, on each of the i864 (one for each parent), the petitioner is always the primary sponsor, the petitioner can never be a joint sponsor

you will mark on question 8 of the i864A, Relationship to sponsor, spouse

the person who told you that was wrong, they usually are

I didn't know that a petitioner can never be a joint sponsor.

nvc told me my husband was the first joint sponsor and that I was the second. can't believe they actually made us fill that out wrong!

on the 864A I did mark I was the spouse. I will go back and fix the 864 to say my husband is the petitioner.

thank you!!!
