Does the intending immigrant whose income is combined needs to fill i-864A?

Hi All,

 

I have a question about I-864 and I-864A?

So my petitioner is my spouse and she is unemployed and i am on H1B work visa and when she files i-864 she is combining my income as household income.

We file taxes together and i have those tax returns also i plan to keep a cover letter explaining that petitioner is unemployed and don't have income and don't have a separate tax returns.

So do i ( spouse of petitioner ) have to file i-864A.?

 

 

As per my understanding from I-864A instructions as shown above, i come under the second part.

I am the intending immigrant and i am a house hold member and sponsor is including only my income in the sponsor's i-864 and i don't have any accompanying dependents.

 

I believe i (spouse) don't have to file separate I-864A.?Am i correct?

No you don't. I was in the same situation and I didn't file separate I-864A.
