Yes you need to submit the I-864A  as you are a joint sponsor and your mother is part of your household.     Your mom completes the I-864

 

Only the most recent tax transcript is required, from you and your mom.

 

 

 

 

Thanks Hank! Working on them. I guess I don’t understand. There was no part on i864a mentioning my mom’s or me putting her name on it?

Depends.   Your sister is being added as a derivative (this is unique to the petitioner being a green card holder) with your dad correct?   Is your sister entering the USA within 6 months of your father?    < question 2 may apply

Hi all! So this kinda start bothering me. My mom is bringing my dad and her petition for him got approved on 3/1. We finally uploaded all the docs needed with the NVC and filled out 260 form. My mom lives w us. Im married with USC and Im also USC now. I am co sponsoring my mom and I did filled out and submitted I864a. Now, question is: My husband and I always file jointly. My husband did not fill out any form. I did upload our tax transcript for 2020, haven’t for 2021 since we are still working on filing our tax. Am I missing anything? Or should I upload more docs?

You mom fills out the I-864 as the primary sponsor.

 

You fill out your own I-864 as a joint sponsor.  Your husband fills out the I864a as a household contract with you to combine your incomes as demonstrated by filing MFJ.

Why do you say that? She’s under 21! 

F2A, spouse of LPR, allows derivatives.  I think the other poster didn't realize your mom was an LPR.

There seems to be some confusion on the household setup, so let me outline what I assumed and you can let me know if I am correct or not:

• You, your husband, your mom, and 3 others live in the same house.  When your father and sister arrive (from your mom's petition), there will be 8 living in the same house.
• Living arrangements are different than "household" in regards to income tax
• You and you husband file taxes together as MFJ.  Your mother is not a dependent.
• You mother files taxes for herself, and you are not dependents on your mother's tax returns.
• Your household size is currently 2 for tax filing purposes.  It will be 4 when your dad and sibling is added for sponsorship.  (my assumption - I am not 100% sure if both need to be counted for F2A with derivative)
• Your mother's household size is currently 1 for tax filing purposes.  It will be 3 when your dad and sibling is added for sponsorship  (my assumption - I am not 100% sure if both need to be counted for F2A with derivative)

 

If the above is correct, then your mom files the I-864 as the primary sponsor with a household size of 3.

 

You will file a second I-864 with a household size of 4 as a joint sponsor. Your husband files a I-864a as a contract between him and you for the joint sponsorship.

Hi thanks so much for your reply. So I have already uploaded the paperwork last week. I864 for my mom and I864a for me. I also did not upload enough supporting docs in there. Do you think it will be Ok to upload more docs right now? I messed up and did not really want to make this process any longer. We’re hoping my dad gets here in the summer.

 

As per your reply with our household. Thank you! It helped laying out the facts and for me to understand it better ☺️ You are correct with all of them except for 2 of them. So we will be 2 household in our house correct? My mom with my dad and sister and then me and my husband with our children (3).

 

about the form for i-864a part 2 1c for my husband, does he check spouse (assuming because I am doing i864) or “other” and for part 5 “the sponsor” is it me? Or my mom?

 

then for me i864 part 1, I check 1e correct? For part 6 for my mom and I, do we total up all our income? Me, my husband and my mom? For part 7 I know it’s optional, I can just leave blank or will it be helpful filling it all out? Then send attachments that support all in the part 7?.

 

All of these financial matter with affidavit of support, so it just don on me, since we are considered as 2 household living in 1 house. We own the house and my parents and sister will be living here so they can save money to build a house back home. My mom is actually making over $30k right now. Do we actually still need to cosponsor? Essentially with her household, she is above poverty guidelines.
