I-864 questions for sponsoring parents

[thingo1992 0]

Hello All,

 

I  (US citizen) petitioned my mom and dad by filing I-130 in 2023 and finally my mom I-130 application got approved but my dad application has not approved yet. 

 

I am started preparing I-864 for my mom first and I have some questions to ask for I-864. I have red instruction form few times and I still confused.

 

I only started working this year and my current income to date is near 75K. I had no income in 2023 and 2022 but my husband and myself filed tax married jointly during those years (his incomes are higher than threshold limit).

 

1. My first question is do I need my husband to do joint sponsor for my mom meaning that he will file I-864A form? 

 

2.  Part 3) There is one question that confused me. Question 2 is the one that confused me” I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within 6 months of principal immigrating in part 2 (do not include any relative listed on separate visa petition)”. My dad will or might fly on same day with my mom but since it is two separate visa petitions and not dependent, I would not checked this box for question 2? 

 

3)  Part6) questions 24a,b,c for total income for the last three years. Since we filed 1040 tax form, we would need to provide total income not AGI, is this correct? 

 

Thank you so much for reading and helping.
