Hi, I (petitioner) am using my mom as a joint sponsor for my husband (intending immigrant). She is filing the I-864 and her husband (household member) is filing the I-864a. My question is - if the i-864 sponsor and the i-864a household member have a joint tax return can you just submit 1 copy? Their return is a very large amount of pages and to include 2 copies of the same document seems silly.

Hello there! Quick question, how do you go about the application process with a joint sponsor? My significant other and I are considering this but have no idea how to go about it!

Read the I-864 instructions.  The sponsor stage is close to a year after filing.

the sponsor doesn't come into play until after the i-130 is approved. so first you submit your I-130 petition and then if you, the petitioner, can not financially support the intending immigrant, you can use a joint sponsor to help meet this requirement. That is where the I-864 comes in.

You are K-1 the required form is the I-134 .. both you (petitioner) and the co-sponsor would complete this form along with providing the required financial evidence  .. for most embassies that is a copy of the most recent tax return/transcript and W-2.

They are K-1 fiancee visa .. don't use the I-130 or the I-864
