co sponsor question

[OliaNaumchuk 20]

My fiancé is filling out an i-864 and, as a recent graduate, does not currently make enough to submit alone. So, his Mother is filling out an i-864a as a household member who earns over the poverty line considering their household size.

So our question is: on the i-864a, his Mother is including tax return transcripts for the most recent 3 years. BUT she filed joint federal income tax returns with her husband who is not intending on filling out an i-864 because his mother earns enough on her own. Does she need to include her W-2’s and 1099’s for each year even though she’s including transcripts? Do we need to include his Father’s transcripts and other forms even though his income isn’t being included for sponsorship? Do we have to have his Father submit an i-864a just because both of his parents filed their tax returns as joint spouses?

Also: Does it matter when we sign our i-864 and i-864a? The current version on USCIS says the form expires in September of 2021, and our interview is scheduled for August 2021. Should we wait to sign the forms until closer to the interview date? Does the expiration date of form shift month by month?

Form I-864 is incorrect. Your fiancé and co-sponsor need to fill out I-134.

Just for my info …Does the Consulate in Russia require the I 864 for a K1.. not the usual I134 ?

OMB Expiry date is an internal government date .. as long as it’s the current one on the USCIS webpage that’s the one you need. Most are signed several months before the interview

Usually the K1 application uses the I134 financial affidavit form. The I 864 is used once you enter the US, marry and file for Adjustment of Status .. check the guides for the K1 fiancé application

Lil bear, 

 

So in that case, can we still get support from a family member for sponsorship if I, the primary sponsor, don't earn enough money annually?

It’s very much consular specific ..some allow a cosponsor   for the K1 financial .. some don’t.  I’ll move your thread to the Russia sub forum .. you should get consulate specific answers there ..

In early 2019, they required the I 134 for Anastasia's K-1. I doubt that's changed.

You use the I 864 for Adjusting status (and if using a joint sponsor, the joint sponsor has to fill out an I-864 too, not an I-864A).

Thx. Good to have the local knowledge. Agree that it’s unlikely to have changed. Hope this helps the OP.
