AOS sponsor

[Mimicherie 142]

Hello, 

 

I’ve read the instructions, but can someone clarify this for me regarding the affidavit of support.

 

If I’m the petitioner and I choose to have someone else sponsor the beneficiary, do I have them fill out the I-864A or the regular I-864? Do I as the petitioner still need to fill out the I-864 and then have the other person fill out I-864A? 
 

Please let me know if I need to provide more details to best help answer my question. 
 

thank you!

You are always the primary sponsor so you complete the I 864 even if you don't meet the financial requirements. The joint sponsor will complete their own I864 .. unless that person is a member of your household .. a person just sharing / renting  the house is not the same as a household member

if this is really for a K1  (as indicated here )  you do not fill out the I 864

it would be a I 134

Who is the beneficiary?  Your timeline suggests your I-485 has been approved?

I’m going to be a sponsor for someone who’s adjusting status. I am not the petitioner nor the beneficiary. So it’s for someone else’s AOS I485.

So are you acting as a joint sponsor to the primary/petitioner of the I130?

So as a joint sponsor you will fill out a separate I864 unless you are a child of the primary sponsor and reside at the same physical address as the primary sponsor and they are relying on your income to meet the requirements, then you can fill out the I864A as household member of the primary sponsor.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much! You all were very helpful. I’m glad I asked because I was close to filling out the I864A, but I am not in the same household! Thank you again! 😊
