I am sponsoring my mother to come to the US. I am filling out the AOS. I make sufficient over the poverty lines for my household size. However, I file taxes jointly. Do I have to fill out an I-864A for my husband as a household member? He works and has income but I do not need his income to qualify.

Hi @babyjk I am just a newbie here, so don't take my word for granted. I am in the process of sponsoring my spouse and filing the I-864. In my understanding, if you are NOT using your household member's income to qualify, then you do not need to mention them in Part 6 of the I-864 and they do not need to file the I-864A. Maybe senior members like @Dashinka or @pushbrk can confirm this.

To be on the safer side yes spouse should fill I-864A. Some consulates are picky and will demand it because you file taxes as MFJ, even if you qualify on your own income. Good luck.

This ^^^^.  Better to have the I864A in case the consulate asks for it, then to not have it and getting an RFE.

 

Good Luck!

You understand USCIS rules correctly but USCIS doesn't issue visas. Best practice is for a married sponsor filing a joint tax return with spouse, is to have the spouse provide the I-864 PERIOD.  This document is a contract.  Consular Officers expectations do not match USCIS.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
