I-864 Aff of Support - Filling it out my Joint Sponsors Form

[NMHayek 56]

My dad is serving as my husbands joint sponsor for the 1-864 Aff of Support. He is an older man and would like me to fill out the form for him and he will sign it. He has collected and given me all his information and he has reviewed it as correct.

The thing is I have to fill it out the form by hand because something is weird with the form when you try to fill it out using a Mac computer and where I am located in a city with limited Computer access/computer cafes. So the form will be filled in my handwriting and signed with his name and handwriting (he will send me the original signature). Will this be a red flag? I am assuming I will need to fill out and sign the preparers section (Part 10)? Do I need to provide any other proof on his approval for me to fill out the form since there will be 2 different handwritings? I think I might be over thinking but better safe than sorry!

 

Thanks for everyone's patience on maybe an "overthinking question"

How will he send you his original signature

this is a grey area

anyone can fill out the form and sign part 10 

but why not his son?  or someone here in the US? instead of the beneficary

A lawyer could do this for a fee

Hi that is exactly what I am wondering. This is my dad who is joint sponsoring my husband, so I am actually his daughter (primary sponsor) who would be filling it out for my him. NOT the beneficiary (my husband). 

He will send me his original signature via DHL to Egypt. But he has been a real handful to fill out the form, this is the third time and he keeps making mistakes. Believe me Ive tried to get him to pay a service to fill the form but he doesnt want to pay, even though really I would be paying for it happily. He is older and a bit stubborn so I am just trying to make my life easier by considering doing it this way  

 

I mean even the same argument can be made when using a computer, who is to say who actually filled out the form that he signs at the end. 

So ya grey area and I am not sure if it be a problem

you thought to get a POA from him ? and take that to a lawyer to do the form

you can fill it out and sign as preparer / the form does not specify a lawyer has to do it but i was only charged $300 for an attorney to fill out my I 864 as NVC did not want to consider my  annunity it they was not taxable income even though it is for life with an atttached life insurance policy for my husband

You filling out by hand and his signature in his hand writing is not an issue.  Yes, you can act as the preparer.  This is a non-issue.  Carry on.
