Joint sponsor documents

[ujones 148]

My brother in law is our joint sponsor & my sister is a house wife. So all I need is 1-864 signed by him , his employment details & their tax returns right ? They file joint tax returns but it’s just his income( which is way above what is required to sponsor ). Should I add an affidavit explaining that she’s not working ?

You'll need his proof of USC or LPR status AND his earnings statement as well if you are submitting the Return Transcript if they filed as Married Filing Jointly last year (or for any of the three years prior of which that you are OPTIONALLY submitting those tax Transcripts as well).

See the I864 instructions in the Tax Return section.

@K1visaHopeful, so I don’t need to clarify that I’m not submitting I-864A as my sister is not working & has no income , right ? Just want to make sure before sending it . Also will the work permit be delayed as we got RFE or is that independently reviewed?

Her income wont be input on his I864.

Only if it was, would an I864a be filled out.

I suggest the I864 instructions and I864 form as a necessary read before beginning.

EAD and AP and AOS are separate but parallel processes.

An RFE on any delays all.
