AOS after K-1 marriage: i-864 or i-864a for joint sponsor?

[dinosorry 0]

Hello!

I'm submitting this question because my situation differs slightly from others who have asked.

I am gathering documents for my AOS and must submit the affidavit of support forms. My husband's income does not meet the requirements, so we must use his mother as a joint sponsor. However we live in the same home as her, so she is a household member.

I know I need to submit an i-864 for my husband, but will I need to submit an i-864 or an i-864a for my mother-in-law? Or both forms?

Thank you!

Not really unique situation. It has been asked quite a few times.

If using the mother as a qualifying household member, then she would supply an I-864A to go along with the USC petitioner/sponsor's I-864. If the mother is acting as the joint sponsor, then she supplies her own separate I-864. Just because they reside together does not mean she must only be used as a qualifying household member. She can still be the joint sponsor.
