Hello! I am currently working on getting documents together for the NVC part of our IR-1/CR-1 process including the affidavit of support forms. My income won't meet the requirements since I live abroad with my husband. My mom and step dad have offered to help us out as co-sponsors. We will be living with them for a while upon our return to the states so I had them both fill out the I-864A form for household members but I was reading that they sometimes won't accept step parents with this and he would have to fill out the I-864 and be a joint sponsor, then list my mom as a household member? I am so confused! If anyone has been in a similar situation and has some advise that would be great! 

 

Thanks!

you would need to be currently living with them for both of them to file the i864A, you have to currently prove that you are all living at the same address

 

not what will happen in the future, so since you aren't living with them now, one of them fills out the i864 and the other fills out the i864A
