Difference amongst the I-864

[C and M 6]

Good morning all,

 

I just wanted to make sure about about the differences between the I-864 and the I-864A. I’m at the NVC stage now, so I want to make sure I understand it correctly.

 

I-864 is for a joint sponsee. Can be anyone that agrees to hold responsibility for the beneficiary.

 

The I-864A is for a combination of household income to make it equal to or above the poverty line, correct?

 

in my situation, my mother has agreed to help. She needs to fill out the I-864? My income is enough to satisfy poverty guidelines, but last years income was only for 7 months (and some foreign income).

 

Thanks for the help!

 I should specify that I’m living with my mother currently, but will get my own place once my spouse gets her visa. Does this mean my mother should fill out an I-864A?

Doesn't matter.  One I-864 from each of you, as long as HER income qualifies without combining with yours.  If your mother is married and files a joint tax return, her spouse should provide an I-864a. That is the OTHER thing the I-864a is for.

pushbrk,

 

Thank you always for your detailed answers. 
 

Another question for you (or anyone who knows); since the 2019 tax year is still ongoing for the next 3 months, would NVC accept (or consider sufficient) my tax transcripts from 2018 and earlier? Or should I complete my 2019 taxes now and have them ready, just In case? I wouldn’t have a transcript anytime soon, but I show them the W2, 1040, et al.

 

Thank you.

For now, they will accept the 2018 and earlier.  I would have the 2019 transcript available for the eventual interview though, if possible
