Co sponsor. What form should be used?

[lovebug 0]

Hi Everyone,

What Affidavit of support form do we need for a co sponsor for the Adjustment of Status? My wife is a K1 Visa holder. We are planning to have my mother as her co sponsor but she is not living with us. Is the I-864A the right form to fill up?

Waiting for your quick response. Thank you very much.

Larry,

There's no such thing as a "co sponsor" for adjustment of status.

A Joint Sponsor prepares an I-864 with supporting documentation, same as the Sponsor. A Household Member prepares an I-864A jointly with the Sponsor, and provides the Sponsor with appropriate supporting documetation for the Sponsor's I-864.

devilette,

It appears that he got conflicting, and somewhat inaccurate, answers there.

Iha has it right though, as did you!

not really, Iha used the term co-sponsor (inacurate) and also did not express the need for the sponsor to fill out an I864 as well as the Joint sponsor (fills out their own).

Thanks for the reply, that cleared things up. I appreciate it very much.

Being a little picky arn't we? Co-sponsor, Joint sponsor - you realise that "co-" as prefix means "joint" right?

As for not mentioning the need for the sponsor to file I-864, I was simply correcting elgringo's incorrect statement.

Next time I'll just quote the whole I-864 instructions so people can't pick holes in what I say. This sort of thing really makes me want to not bother contributing here any more.

i recognize why you posted what you did. i probably should have quoted where i was responding from. namely clarifying Yodrak's correction as to why that thread may prove slightly confusing to the OP. sorry if i offended, wasnt my intention at all.
