I-864 Questions

[Felinism 0]

My wife is filing for me to get a CR1, and she is not able to financially support me at all, so her brother is stepping in to be my financial sponsor. 

In 1.a, the basis of filing, does he just refer to himself as a petitioner and brother-in-law? He does not live with her. 

 

My wife, as we know, isn't able to be a financial sponsor; does she still need to do a separate I-864? If so, is she still a joint sponsor? Is her brother the sole joint sponsor? What do we cross in this situation? We are so confused.

Your wife as petitioner is always the primary sponsor even when unable to meet the requirements. She must file an I 864 with all required documentation.

 Her brother is the sole joint sponsor… and he must complete  his own I 864 with all documentation . If he is married, it is recommended though not required, for his  spouse to file the I 864a

Yes that's correct and if you still have her parents I-864  in addition that will also help. 

Good luck

No, it can't. There can only be one joint sponsor.
