This is not regarding my wifes adjustment of status, but a friend of mine.  Her husband was just appeoved for a K1 visa, but she (the PR) is unemployed.  She is asking how she can use her cousin as a joint sponsor.

 

I just wanna verify i gave her the right info.

 

Country is Vietnam, Cousin is married so thats household of 2 +1 (petitioner) +1 (immigrant) = household of 4.

 

The petitioner will Fill out form I864 even without any income, and list her household size as 4. And list her cousin and wife in the section for income from others in the household.

 

Her cousin will Fill out I864a and list her individual income?

Her cousins wife will also fill out i864a and list her individual income?

 

or since they are married, can just her cousin fill out i864a and list their household income?

 

P.S I have been telling them to join this site fir the past year lol.

K1 is I 134. Does Vietnam allow joint sponsors?

 

Best bet is to get a job.

Lol. they have been approved for the visa.  Adkustment of status in i864.

 

Yes her best bet is to get a job. issue is.. she is in school.

 

AOS does allow join sponsors.  Did you read my original post? Made it clear their k1 was approved. Now theyre wondering how to do the affidavit and what forms they need.

The post was a little confusing to me...

 

"Her husband was just appeoved for a K1 visa, but she (the PR) is unemployed."

PR = Permanent Resident...? But she hasn't completed AOS yet...?

 

"Country is Vietnam, Cousin is married so thats household of 2 +1 (petitioner) +1 (immigrant) = household of 4. "

Why could country matter for AOS with regard to the I-864?

 

That calculation appears incorrect. She only counts her own household size. The petitioner is not included in their household unless they meet one of the specific conditions defined in the I-864 instructions (like being claimed as their dependent on the most recent year's tax transcript).

The petitioner will Fill out form I864 even without any income, and list her household size as 4. And list her cousin and wife in the section for income from others in the household.

 

Her cousin will Fill out I864a and list her individual income?

Her cousins wife will also fill out i864a and list her individual income?

 

or since they are married, can just her cousin fill out i864a and list their household income?

Since they do not live together, they are not eligible to use an I-864A.

 

The petitioner will file an I-864 with their own household size. They will include a copy of the most recent year's tax transcript (unless they were not required to file, in which case they mark the checkbox and state why).

The joint sponsor will complete an I-864 with their own household size. They will include at least a copy of the most year's tax transcript (or full copy of the return) + evidence of their current income.

If the joint sponsor is living with somebody who is a qualifying household member and will be including them, they can provide an I-864A to combine income/assets with the joint sponsor. If they are married and file jointly with a spouse, often an I-864A from the spouse is requested even if they may not have any eligible income of their own.

 

Note the terms underlined above. The petitioner is always the primary sponsor. The joint sponsor's I-864 is entirely separate, and their income/assets are considered separately. A household member can join their income/assets with the matching sponsor (the joint sponsor here).

This was the answer i wa slooking for. thanks.

 

Petitoner fills her i864 with no income, household of 2 (her and her husband)

 

Cousin fillls seperate i864 as a joint sponsor, and lists her wife in the section for other household income. Cousins wife completes i864a.

If the additional sponsor does not live with the original sponsor, they are a joint sponsor not a co-sponsor. Incomes cannot be combined.

There will be two separate I864s, each with their own household size to count. Each sponsor will need to meet the poverty guidelines with their individual income for each household size including any dependents and any beneficiaries.
