SPOUSE of petitioner NOT SAME RESIDENCE. Still file i864a?

[Marky81 0]

My father is the petitioner and he has no income so he needs to use my mother's income. However my mother does not live in the same residence as my father. What form should my mother use? I864 OR I864a?

My mother's income tax return Filing Status is 'Married filing separately'

If you look at Part 5 item 3 of the I864 form it says 'If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse. Which means you include the sponsor's spouse as a household member. Then on Part 6 item 21: "The people listed .... have completed I-864A...." which we  included my mother because we need her income.
