civil documents and affidavit of support question

[Tay123 4]

so i am a married usa citizen and my parents cases is at the NVC currently. 

 

a few questions i had.

 

in regards to affidavit of support, i do not work but my husband does and his income is the one that will be used for this, do i need to add him under the joint sponsor section? do i myself need to a fill a separate affidavit form if i am not not the sponsor and my husband is?

 

 

for the civil documents, it is asking for petitioners birth certificate and marriage certificate, then just says birth certificate and marriage certificate which i assume is for my parents but do i need to upload mine? please clarify. 

 

also, it is asking for a police certificate, is this like a police record in regards to their background and what not?

in regards to affidavit of support, i do not work but my husband does and his income is the one that will be used for this, do i need to add him under the joint sponsor section? do i myself still need to a fill a separate affidavit form if i am not not the sponsor and my husband will be?

You are the primary sponsor.  You will need to complete the I-864.  I assume you file taxes jointly?  You will count your husband's income and he would fill out I-864A.

 

The civil documents should be for the "applicant", which are your parents.

You upload your birth certificate where it asks for petitioner's birth certificate. The rest will be of your parents.

 

For police certificate, you parents get it from the authority per following.
