    Hello Audra, Season greetings, I am wondering if you can answer this question for me, I don't mind paying for the answer if that is necessary, My daughter lives in Florida with 2 young boys under 5, she is a single mom not married to the boys father, because of this she receives Medicaid from the government for herself and the boys,my question is if she is my sponsor will she loose the Medicaid for any or all of them, she is fully employed and makes enough money to be the sponsor, Thanks in advance.

      Honestly I would have to look up the answer to your question to be sure. My instinct is that she would not lose her medicaid, but I cannot confirm that without research.

And also I plan on using my wife as the household member, but we filed jointly only on the 3rd recent(2021). Will that be a problem too? Thank you so much!!!!

    Could you clarify me on Part 6.
    I am single living by myself sponsoring my two parents. They are both elderly and do not have significant income to take part in the process. I make enough to sponsor them both. So I listed my total income estimated for 2023 in #7 and left person 1, 2 and 3 blank because it says “Income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size”. I am not using them so I left this blank.
    Confusing is #22 and #23. I left 22 blank, easy enough.
    The main question:
    #23 Do I check this and leave the block for Name empty?

    We did not meet the poverty guideline as the tax return of last year was lower. We received the RFE asking for 12 months bank statements or other assets or a joint sponsor. My husband is making enough this year now and we can provide 12 months and the W2 proving he can sponsor. However, wondering if that would be enough or do they still want a joint sponsor?

    1. How do I sign i864 form. Do I just print out that sign page and after sign reupload that page separate with I864 ?
    2. My brother will be joint sponsor for my wife. My brother is married and has kid. They tax file together. do I have to also upload passport for my brothers wife and kid or any documents for them. Or only just for brother passport because I am using only brother income.

    Hello Audra
    Thanks for the video.
    I have one question that I couldn't find through the video.
    I recently got married to a US citizen. She is an RN and has been working in the hospital since mid-2022.
    I am on an F1 visa. I am currently pursuing my 2nd master's here in the US, and I currently don't work. (No CPT). But I worked until last year in October on STEM -OPT before my second master's began, so I had income and filled taxes to show for the last 3 years, which is above the federal poverty threshold.
    So my qtns is in the form I-864: 24. c. 3rd Most Recent?
    My wife started working professionally around mid-2022 and has a 1040 total income higher than the federal poverty threshold for 2022. and 2023. but 2021's total income (~10k) was way below the fed poverty threshold.
    So, what could you recommend? Should we enter that total income (10k) into 24.c. in the 3rd most recent total income box a no?

      We show their annual retirement income and their tax return. USCIS usually comes back with questions!

    @Atty Doyle - Can you address why certain fields on the I-864 form such as Page 3 > Part 4 (Item numbers 4.a. - 4.b.) > Page 4 > Part 5 (Item numbers 1,2 and 8); Page 5 > Part 6 (Item number 20) are restricted from entering any data.
