Looking for some help. My USC wife and I live in Canada where I am employed but will not be employed immediately when we move to the USA. My wife is a stay at home mom and has a confirmed income of $0. My wife's dad lives in the USA and we will be moving in with him until we find a place. He has enough income to meet the requirements. So if my wife is the Sponsor and completes a i-864 with supporting documents (but has $0 income and we are not using assets for proof on income) does her dad just need to complete the i-864 as a Joint Sponsor and provide the required documents? I'm getting confused with the i-864a paper as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, the father should fill out a separate I864 as a joint sponsor since she is not currently living in the same household.

 

Good Luck!

That would be the correct answer anyway, because if they ARE in the same household, she has no income to combine with him.  In this case the I-864a would come from Dad's spouse, if any, and whether the spouse has income or not.

 

What to provide as supporting documents for each will be clearly stated in the I-864 instructions.  Become an A-Student of that document and the forms themselves.

My USC wife and I live in Canada

Montreal is notorious for requiring US domicile for the USC petitioner at the visa interview.  Some have been able to overcome this with evidence of intent to re-establish US domicile, others were denied and the USC had to move to the US before the Canadian spouse to find a place to live, open a US bank account, get a US driver's license, register to vote, etc., adding months to the process.  There are many examples of this here on VJ, search previous posts and do more research on the domicile requirements for Montreal.

My situation is similar my hubby is US citizen he moved to Canada 2009 and he has PR here . When we applied for me to move up to USA my father-in-law filled out 1-864 and my mother-in-law filled out 1-864A . My hubby had to fill 3 years of US taxes showing his Canadian income and also had to fill out 1-864. When i went for my interview at the Montreal consulate they asked me for my husband  most recent 1040 (USA income tax form).

Thanks for the helpful advice. Since my wife has $0 income and isn't required to file USA Taxes, we have included the past 3 years of Canadian Tax returns showing no income and a letter confirming that. We have a joint sponsor in the USA who meets the requirements.

For domicile, we plan on submitting all of the standard things (drivers license, lease agreement, voters registration, US bank account, etc.) 

Thanks Everyone!
