My joint sponsor and household member have enough combined income to meet the sponsorship requirements. My joint sponsor filled out the I-864 form and the household member filed out the I-864a form. 

 

Since they filed joint tax returns for 2014-2016, I'm wondering how to complete p. 2 part 4: Your (the Household Member's) Federal Income Tax Information and Assets of the I-864a form. Should I just list her portion of their joint income in lines 2a-c even though that total is different than the total income on their tax return? 

 

And should I do the same on the Sponsor's Employment and Income part of the joint sponsor's I-864 form (p. 6 part 6 numbers 19a-c)? Or do I list the total income for tax years 2014-2016 on both forms?

Thanks a lot for your help,

The sponsoring spouse can enlist a secondary co-sponsor (a person outside the household) who is willing to accept full financial responsibility for the spouse who is seeking the green card. This secondary co-sponsor must submit their own Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and must meet the above income requirements all on their own. (In other words, there can be no pooling of income or assets between the sponsoring spouse’s household and the secondary co-sponsor.)

I don't remember. I think I clicked petitioner. I am the main sponsor but not the join sponsor. Thank you so much for your feedback. We sent it so if we did anything wrong we ll hear from them. Got tired and confused with all the terms.
