AOS - I-864A for household member as additional sponsor?

 Share

Hello,

 

I came to the U.S. recently on a K-1 visa, got married and now live with my U.S. citizen wife, our child and my wife's mother in one household (they have lived together for several years before I moved here). I'm preparing the documents for AOS at the moment.

 

My wife and her mother make 34k each; 68k combined per year. 125% requirement for a 4 person household is 39k.

If I understand it correctly, then my wife fills out I-864 and her mother fills out I-864A and their incomes can be combined.

Please let me know if I am correct on this.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

That is correct.

A CO-sponsor MUST BOTH:

1. Live with the original sponsor (or joint sponsor)

AND

2. Be either a parent, sibling, or child of the original sponsor or joint sponsor. (Any other relative LIVING in the household is not a co-sponsor if they do not meet specific family relationship above. They are a JOINT sponsor instead.)

 

JOINT sponsors do not even have to be related to any sponsor. JOINT sponsors are standalone sponsors while CO sponsors COMBINE (CO=COmbine) their income with OG or Jnt sponsors 

 

JOINT = I864

CO = I864A
