Thank you for the clarification. Are you able to answer this question too?

Additionally, my wife did not file taxes in 2021 (which would be the third most recent tax year) as she was only 20 and still a dependent. (I am unfamiliar with the US tax process so I am unaware of if this exempted her). Does this affect how she fills Part 6, sections 23.a. - 25.? Also, my FiL only has his original birth certificate, which he needs to file with his I-864. He can get a copy from Texas (his home state) but it will take a month to arrive. Is it possible/advised to send the original so we can have the forms sent sooner?

Will my wife need to complete Part 7 of I-864 since my MiL and FiL aren't mentioned in her form? As a result the total income on her form is $0 as she is unemployed, which is obviously under the poverty guidelines.

So, for household size, are the attached images correct for my wife and FiL's forms? (FiL's forms are mislabeled as MiL's, apologies) And for Part 6, sections 8-19, these sections should be blank on my wife's form, but should have my MiL's information on my FiL's form?

Thank you for your help! There's just one last question I'd like to ask, then I'll have everything I need. I appreciate all your patience. My wife is now filing I-864. She has specified she is the petitioner in Part 1, 1.a.. My FiL specified he was the only joint sponsor in Part 1, 1.d.. In Part 5, 7., it asks to number the people in the same principle residence who are combining their income to support her sponsor by completing I-864A. Only my MiL completed I-864A, my FiL completed I-864. On his I-864, he simply lists 1 for my MiL. What should my wife write in this section?

Thank you so much for your help so far, your info has been very useful! The forms are all filled out, there's just one more thing that I'd like to ask. I'm sorry if this is incredibly obvious, but I'd just like to be sure. My father-in-law (FiL) is filing I-864. My mother-in-law (MiL) is filing the I-864A. I-864, Part 6 - 7. and 10., and I-864A, Part 3 - 7. specify individual income. Tax return info between the two forms are the same, but for these specific fields, I'm supposing their individual income is required as stated. They own three businesses between them (MiL one, FiL two). MiL is self-employed and FiL is employed full-time. Should FiL's individual income be the sum of his two businesses and his employment? Should MiL's individual income be from her self-employment? Again, I apologize if any of this is painfully obvious. I just want to be sure this is being done right. Thank you for your patience.

So they'll submit the same tax information on each form? Or will they need to figure out their individual income and taxes?

So then, my father-in-law files as the joint-sponsor's spouse? Or the sponsor's parent? Again, why not have them both file as joint-sponsors?

Thank you for the info. So to clarify, for my understanding: My sponsor my submit an I-864 as the petitioner (Part 1, 1.a). My mother-in-law must also submit an I-864 as the only joint sponsor (I-864, Part 1, 1.d). My father-in-law must submit an I-864A as the sponsor's parent (I-864A, Part 2, 1.c) Mother-in-law and father-in-law's income must be filed separately. Is this correct? Why not have my in-laws file as one of two joint-sponsors (I-864, Part 1, 1.e) each?

It says on the USEmbassy website that "a joint-sponsor is a third party individual who does not reside with the petitioner (my wife)". It also says "a co-sponsor is a member of the petitioner's household". For clarification, my petitioner (and therefore my sponsor) is my wife. We are currently staying at my parents-in-law's house while we look for an apartment.

Thanks for your response. Yes, my mistake, it was the I-134 I submitted at my interview. The joint sponsor does indeed file taxes jointly with their spouse. They pay to have their taxes done for them so it's difficult to determine how much they earn individually, will this be an issue for filing I-864A? Should only one of them file the I-864A and write down their joint taxes, or should they both file I-864A after trying to determine their individual income? Additionally, my wife and I are currently living with the joint sponsors. Does this have an effect on what we file and how?

Hi, I entered the US on the K-1 Visa on 05/26/2024 after having my application approved at the London Embassy. My wife (then fiancée) was employed at the time, however since then she has been laid off and has not been able to find new work. We married on 06/07/2024 and I am now trying to file form I-485 and I-765 (Adjustment of Status and Employment Authorization). However, I am required to resubmit form I-864 for the adjustment of status. I have two questions: 1) Should we/are we able to resubmit the same affidavit of support as I did at my interview? 2) If that is not possible, my parents-in-law are willing to co-sign on form I-864A. What sort of income will USCIS be looking for on their tax returns? Thank you for your help.
