What Forms Do I Need From a Joint Sponsor, DWI Charge and Supporting Documents.

[street02 0]

Hello, I am currently waiting on my interview date which is only a couple weeks away. I'm a F-1 visa holder and got married to a citizen in 2014.

When I initially filed for green card back in October, my husband was fully employed. However, since then he has lost his job and currently unemployed.

As a resort, I will be asking my in-laws to sponsor me for the green card. (I'm assuming a joint sponsorship??)

On the interview notice, it says I would need Form I-864 and required evidence. Does that mean I would need to print out two 864 forms for my mother & father in law?

Or do I need other forms since my in laws are not the one directly petitioning for me but rather just providing financial support (In laws live in another state)

Also, after the initial filing of green card my husband (the citizen/sponsor) got in a car accident and ended up with a DWI charge and spent a week in county jail.

Do we need to disclose that information? (I have a clean criminal background by the way)

Lastly, supporting documents.. We used to have a huge box filled with hundreds of letters and other relationship stuff but they got burned after a huge fight a while ago (oops)

We do not have any insurance together and one bank account with only my name on it as well as only one phone line with two phones under his name.

(We used to have a joint account but he closed his account after he lost his job so we have been just using my account only for the past few months)

So I'm worried it might look sketchy that we don't have a whole lot of joint assets with both of our names on it. The only thing we have to prove with both of our names is pictures from the three years we have been together and the lease of our house and a few utility bills. Is that enough?

Thanks!

Or do I need other forms since my in laws are not the one directly petitioning for me but rather just providing financial support (In laws live in another state) Your husband needs to file an I-864 as the Petitioner/Sponsor. One of your in-law files another I-864 as the Joint Sponsor. The other in-law files an I-864a as the JS's HM. They will also need to send in supporting documents required by the I-864 and I-864a. Doesn't matter if they live in another state.

Also, after the initial filing of green card my husband (the citizen/sponsor) got in a car accident and ended up with a DWI charge and spent a week in county jail.

Lastly, supporting documents.. We used to have a huge box filled with hundreds of letters and other relationship stuff but they got burned after a huge fight a while ago (oops) Acting out of anger is never helpful.

We do not have any insurance together and one bank account with only my name on it as well as only one phone line with two phones under his name.

No one can tell you when you have enough. More is always better. Do a search and you will find out what others have used. Follow their examples.

Thanks!

One of your in-law will be the Joint Sponsor. The other will be the Joint Sponsor's Household Member.

Or do I need other forms since my in laws are not the one directly petitioning for me but rather just providing financial support (In laws live in another state) Your husband needs to file an I-864 as the Petitioner/Sponsor. One of your in-law files another I-864 as the Joint Sponsor. The other in-law files an I-864a as the JS's HM. They will also need to send in supporting documents required by the I-864 and I-864a. Doesn't matter if they live in another state.

Thanks for the reply,

My inlaws only make enough money when both of their incomes are combined. I would need two joint sponsors for it to be enough money to cover both my husband and I I'm guessing?

My husband already submitted his 864 which is probably useless given he's no longer employed. Do I need to rewrite and bring my husband's 864 again?

So to clarify... I need to get one 864 for one of my inlaws and 864a for the other, as well as supporting documents for both of them and I'm good?

No one beneficiary can have two Joint Sponsors. One in-law will be the JS while the other is the JS's HM. One files the I-864. The other files the I-864a. Their income is combined. You need to learn to use these terms.

My husband already submitted his 864 which is probably useless given he's no longer employed. Do I need to rewrite and bring my husband's 864 again? If USCIS asks for it. You will need to update this if you get an interview.

So to clarify... I need to get one 864 for one of my inlaws and 864a for the other, as well as supporting documents for both of them and I'm good? Yes on the first half of this question - one I-864 and one I-864a. Don't know if you are good or not, depends on the specifics of their finances.
