Please make a video showing how to fill out the I864 form when sponsoring a sister and her family! I will really appreciate it and what you are doing for others. Your help is highly appreciated!
Hello guy’s! I wanted to tell you all, she is really talented and help me on my 1-130 questions. I was so confused with 1-130 documents check list for my parents because I don’t have my parents birth certificates and marriage certificates. I was keep searching what to to without documents. She answers my questions! Please subscribe her and like video! I am taking time to do comments and appreciate her time! Thank you🙏
Thanks very much for the valuable videos. I have a query: Part 4 of I-864A total income- the tax return is joint with main sponsor, do I need to write in 2a, 2b and 2c of part 4 the combined total income mentioned in the tax return?
Great video. I have a question I'm confused about, can the intended immigrant combine their income with the sponsor even if the intended immigrant works out of the country but lives in the USA?
Hi Kseniya, thanks again for all the videos! These are super helpful! Glad to be a subscriber of your channel! One question on 864 and 864a; the questions that have the most recent (3 years) total income. This should have the joint income (sponsor + household member income), is it not?
Hi Kseniya, thank you for your videos, they are really helpful. I filled out a Form I864A for my parents' claim and this document was not accepted. I have reviewed the document several times and I can't find what the problem is. This is the message that the NVC sends me: Not Submitted Under Household Member's Name - We are unable to accept these documents as uploaded. Please add YOANDRA as a Household Member under MARIO. All documents for YOANDRA should be submitted under their own name.

Hi, I love your videos and its helping me through this process of applying for Adjustment of Status through marriage based greencard. My wife’s last year income isn’t enough to sponsor me so we got her Dad to be the joint sponsor. My lawyer wants my mother-in-law to fill up the i864A. Does it make sense for my mother-in-law to fill up the I864A when me and my wife live together and not with her parents.
I am actually on this process as this point . My husband had his appt and they informed my income is not sufficient. Me and his mom do live together so can I do the i864a household member ?
You’re real life experience is great. I am filing 1-130+A, my wife and I were virtually married. 9 Oct 2021. I traveled to her home Feb 24th 2022 so the marriage has been consummated. Which is required under what they call a proxy marriage. Do you have experience with this? After paying quite a sum of money to a real recognized visa assistance company they were informed by USCIS that they were no longer allowed to process virtual marriages I don’t know if they did something wrong I assume they did anyhow my money is supposed to be refunded according to their text to me. You can imagine what this news was to My wife and I who have worked with them over 15 months felt like. I really like doing it myself. My daughter-in-law and immigrant from the Philippines suggested we do it ourselves she can help me and I want him to follow everything that you have and I’ve been watching your program and I feel more comfortable with your information. That’s why I sent you a little something this morning I’m not trying to buy your support of what I’m trying to do I’m just trying to say I really appreciate it let me know if you have some body that you’ve had to assist in this thank you, have a great day.
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for all your videos, they have helped me so much! I do have a question for my specific case, my husband (petitioner) is filing for AOS for me (principal immigrant), he doesn’t make enough income so his mother is going to help. She doesn’t live with us but she includes my husband as a dependent in her taxes. Should she fill out form I864 as a joint sponsor or 864A as household member?
Hi - thanks so much for your videos! I'm a USC is sponsoring their spouse and we both live with my parent and sister - I was wanting to know if the household size needs to be all four of us or just 3? I will need to use my parent's income as a household member and my parent has my sister on their tax return as a dependent.
Thank you for this help Kseniya, One thing I would like to clarify, if the Joint sponsor and household member are filing tax jointly, the amount to put in the three recent years total income will be the same amount as the joint sponsor? Thank you so much for the help.
I have same question .if you find the answer can you help me to . On the i864 3 recent years we put the incomes for both joint sponsor and spouse. In i864A 3 recent years she said we put individual gros income of spouse . Im confused to
Can you do a video of I-864a household member from a brother or sister in law or other that is not the original petitioner of I-864. Page 2 on i-864 a when it say “ i the sponsor “ what name to put in that part and page 4 and 5 who sign it
Hi Kseniya, thanks for putting together such a valuable video. Even though that you stated on the video at 18:52 that this form has to be signed by hand my question is: Can I digitally signed (electronically drawing my signature) in Adobe Acrobat? Thanks in advance.
Your videos are great, and I get a lot of useful information from them. I have a question about using a household members real estate as an asset for the i-186 and i-186A. In using assets to help supplement the income, how would I go about using real estate for my assets? and what proof would I need?
If you are completing Form I-864A, which is used to supplement an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), and you have filed your tax returns in different ways (3rd most recent jointly and 2nd and 1st most recent separately), what should you do?
Hi Kseniya, thanks so much for all the videos you have been sharing. I filled out the form I864A. I got this message from NVC last week, I don't understand it. I need your help. This is the message I found in my inbox. " Please add Mr X as a household member under Mr Y. all documents for Mr X should be submitted under their own name."
Hi Kseniya. Thanks for the very informative videos.I have a question about a household member. My daughter is a US citizen. She filled out I-130 and I-864 for me. Now NVC asked her to add her husband as a household and fill out I-864-A. In which form she has to add her husband as a household? Thanks
Hello Kseniya, very helpful your videos I have done everything on my own for my two parents who are out of the country following your videos , they are very detailed oriented. starting with the I130, now working with the NVC. When I did my taxes of last year my second daughter was not born yet, I believe I have to include her on the i864 as another child correct? Thanks
hi!I filled out the I-864A for my husband as the other sponsor but i got a message saying that my documents is invalid because it wasnt submitted under household members.I'm not sure how was it because I believed i wrote my husband's name in part 1 so how did it went wrong.which part has the correction?Please help me and thank you for this video.
Here I got the same message. I filled up the I 864 with household info & added the household member on the sponsor’s I 864 page 4 part 6 person 1 section. I still got the same message asking to that person as a household member under the sponsor. Very confused. Please help
@@sheenaanderson8759 I asked them via email. They said on the summary page there are buttons/boxes you can click “add a household member” add a joint sponsor” i think you have to click on these whatever applies to you & add documents under their names
Hey Kseniya, so my wife is sponsoring me and she does not have enough annual income. I am currently on my F1- stem opt and work here in USA. Can i add my income in order to fullfill requirement? Also according to the video i dont need to fill out i864A right? As i am little confused as it says you need to be US citizen and you cannot sponsor yourself things like that on USCIS website.
Hi Kseniya, can you clarify please, if I am the immigrant and my wife (the sponsor) and I are going to initially use our savings to support our move to the US before we find work is this the form to use? We are both currently living and working in the UK. Thank you.
Hi Ksenia, thank you very much for your video. I got confused about my situation. I am an intended immigrant a wifw of usa citizen. Me, my husband and his parents live in the same residence. My husband do not have enough income to sponsor me so his parents agreed to co-sponsor me. The house is the property of his parents. Noone is a dependent or have dependents. Our expenses are separate. So we are 2 households under the same roof .Is it possible to combine me, my husband as a sponsor and parents as house hold members,and fill l 864 for husband, and 2 i864a for his parents, or make one of the parents as a joint sponsor and fill I864 for my husband, second I864 for one of his parents and and fill i864a for a second parent as a house hold member? The parents file taxes jointly, meanwhile my husband file separately irrelevant they all live at the same residence.Many thanks for your opinion
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am a citizen and I filed a Petition for my Mom and I will fill out the I-864 but I want to know if I can submit my tax returns that I have with my husband, we pay taxes as a couple.
Hi Kseniya, thanks for really informative page and videos. I have a question regarding HHM I-864A. NVC asked me to add my spouse (intending immigrant) as a HHM and asking file I-864A under her name. But in this vide you mentioned that (part 2, 1a) if my spouse is intending immigrant then we do not need file that form. What need to do then, filing or not and if not what form or supporting letter we need to send or respond for them I-864A request. Thank you. Best regards, Elchin
Great video. After listening to your video, as my understanding that if the intending immigrant also your spouse, that use income as household member (same household) then you don’t need to submit i 864A, is it correct? Thank you
Thanks for detail info, I have a question though, I have Petitioner Sponser(i-864, name X) and another joint sponsor (I864+i864A, name Y&Z), so in this another joint sponser i864A in section 5 whose name i should put..? original petitioner sponser name(X) OR another joint Sponser name(Y)..?
Thank you so much for the video. It's helped me complete my father's I-864A with my spouse. I have a question about the I-864. If I sponsored my sisters 10 years ago, do I have to add them to the household size part 5 #6, sponsor's household size? I appreciate your help.
You don’t have to count them if one of the following conditions is met: Your sisters are US citizens, they have earned 40 quarters of SSA coverage, or they’re not longer permanent residents.
Your videos have helped me so much oh wow. I have one question. I am filing i864a but there are 4 applicants that my husband are petitioning for. Do I need to do 4 forms or add all 4 applicants to one form
Thank you for your nice and informative explanation. I have a question about the police certification. My immigrant document is qualified on October 18, 2022. When I checked my ceac account it says the police certificate missing. I submitted the police certificate in march 2021. I don't know why they are asking again. My question is the line for interviews is too long in my county /Ethiopia/. May I wait until the interview letter send? Or to send the new police certification again. Because the police certificate expired each year. If they are not scheduled the interview again I have to submit the police certification a third time. I need your advice, please.
Hi thanks for your work and sharing informative videos , I am filing I485 with I864W and I765, I693, I131 I am beneficiary of F3 family and spouse also filing same forms as she is here but she does not have enough ssa qualifying quarters . For her instead of I863W what for,s should be filled out? I864A or I864 with I864A?
is the sponsor and petitioner the same? I'm confuse wether on which option to select. Im the petitioner asking for my dad to come and my mom is going to be my affidavit. would that be the option that says "im not the intending immigrant. I'm the sponsors household member.... and then select parent?
Hello! Thank you for the info 🙏🏻🙏🏻tell me please if my boyfriend doesn’t fill the taxes with me but we live in the same house!Can he be the householder or he has to file I864 separately like sponsor for my parents? Thank you very much for your help
Great video. Just a quick question. I am the primary petitioner to my spouse. (i have filled the i-864) However we need a joint sponsor. (who has already filled the i-864) And this joint sponsor has a spouse who will also be combining income You said that if the joint sponsor has a spouse who will also be using their income than that spouse has to fill out the I-864A correct?
thank for your videos , very educated. i have a question , if i am married does my husband has to do form 864a? i am petitioning my parents. but he is not resident yet, but we do married filling joinly taxes .
Thank you! So helpful! Between when I submit my application and when I will be interviewed, I will probably not be living with the household member. Would it make more sense to just use them as a joint sponsor from the start or just bring an updated joint sponsor application when I have the interview? Thank you!!!
So, my joint sponsor has (who is my aunt) has to fill out I-864A in addition to I-864? For context: My husband, U.S. citizen is the primary petitioner but does not make enough income. My aunt lives in another state but is my joint sponsor.
?Am I the beneficiary, my aunt (joint sponsor's) house hold member? SO this the agreement has to be filled out between me(intending immigrant) and my aunt (joint sponsor)?
great content. I applzud your effort in assisting people llike myself. Iam however still uncertain as to the real diference between the i864 and the 1864a. filing for my spouce for a while now and recently was told by nvc that my income isnt enough to petition for my spouce so i need have a joint sponsor fill out i864 but based on the mention of form A in your videoI am wondering if i864a must also be completedby joint sponsor despoite the request of 1864b specifically metioned to be completed. in shoerter term: when do i need to get the form 1864a if any at all? awaiting speeedy clarity. time is of the essence
Thanks for sharing. I would like to know that if my peritioner files her tax through married filing jointly(with her husband)but only her income meets the requirements(her income is enough to sponsor us), does her husband need to fill out i-864a because of tax jointly? If yes, does he need to provide his tax documents and financial evidences?
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you so much! I watched the video about married filing jointly. As fas as I understand, if we file taxes jointly, we have two options 1. use combine income(petitioner and her spouse) or 2. individual income(only petitioner) when the petitioner income is enough. So, if we choose option 1, we will need i864a. If we choose option 2, we won't need any i864a. Right? For option 2, we will have to calculate only petitioner's income from total income in taxes transcript. Right? Please correct me if I am wrong. I would like you to confirm my understanding cuz we are gonna upload i864 and not sure to file i864a or not. Thanks in advance.
@@allisonlynn43 you’re almost right. For the total taxes information in Q 24a-c you still have to write joint income as listed on tax returns. Must include W2
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you. I got it. For Q 24a-c, fill joint income and for Part6 Q7, calculate and fill only petitioner's income. In this way, we don't neeed i 864a.
Your video help me a lot to complete the form 864 A as a Household member but I got rejected my husband 864 A and I has to submit as a joint sponsor but all the form are only Household member.
What if we find sponsor for my husband our sponsor will be full sponsor. Do I still have to fill out I864? If yes what do I have answer from 1a-1f ? Thank you so much for your time I’ll make sure to like all your videos
Hello, currently I live with my wife in South Korea. She is Korean and I will be her sponsor. When we arrive in the US we will be getting support from my parents (my wife's father-in-law, mother-in-law). Since the immigrant (my wife) is only related by marriage and we have yet to live with them, would they be a joint sponsor or a household member?
Hi! We have applied for a Green card for my parents through my sister. She currently (2023) doesn't have any income so, I (her brother) became a joint sponsor, but at the same time, she is filing a tax return as married file joint, so, I guess, by default she is using her husband's income as well. Long story short, I became a joint sponsor and her husband became a household member so we have submitted both I864 and I864a. However, nvc has accepted everything and just rejected the I864a without any explanation. My question is, can a case has two different type of sponsors? Like what my sister did? a Joint sposer and a household member? Thanks for the help
Hello! I have a question. How to add a household member if the primary sponsor and the household member have the same name and last name? It will not let me add the household member, it says that a problem occured as i can not add 'the same person'. But it is not the same person! In this case, can I add the household member's documents under the primary sponsor's documents in the 'additional documents' section, explaining the situation?
Thank you. I am a Household member and employed in the United States with 40 social security credits. I am intending immigrant and also parent of the sponsor/petitioner, living in the same residence as the petitioner. petitioner is a student and unemployed. What form should I or petitioner fill out for affidavit of support, I-864/I-864A/I-864W? Also what form should I or petitioner fill out for my spouse (homemaker and unemployed) who is also parent of the petitioner and intending immigrant.
Hello Kseniya, Thank you so much for all of the videos and information it’s helped me a lot. But I have a question I’m totally confused about. I’m currently a full-time student with no income but I have to file affidavit support for my spouse. my question is can I add my dad's income as a household member and file I 864A? Also, my uncle will help me with a joint sponsor so he needs to file for I-864 right? Another thing is do I need to add all my household members ( mom and brother) they don't have income and they are dependent on my dad. It might be great if you can explain it to me. Thank you so much.
Hello, household members are used to supplement petitioner’s income while joint sponsors are used to completely replace petitioner’s income. If petitioner uses a joint sponsor, then petitioner’s income becomes completely irrelevant and it makes no sense to add household members in that case. Petitioner still must fill out I-864 regardless.
@@KseniyaInternational Hello Kseniya, thanks again. This is well-explained regarding my question. If I may I’d like to ask one more thing, would it still be okay if I add household member income in I-864? It’s not an issue, right? even though i have a joint sponsor. If it’s an issue or delaying the case review I won’t add it. Please Let me know if possible. Thanks in advance.
@@shefar1171 hello, it makes no sense to include an additional form from the household member for review of their income will not be considered (because it would be combined with the petitioner).
Hi Keseniya! I'm still pretty confused as to whether I must file the I-864A or not. My husband is petitioning for me (the intending immigrant) to get my green card. Unfortunately, he does not exceed the poverty guidelines by a hair, so I'd like to use my income to satisfy the financial requirement. So, must I submit a I-864A along with his I-864? For context, we recently filed our taxes jointly, I'm legally working in the US (I'm a DACA recipient), and he's petitioning for me only (I have no dependents). Please help!
My question is I have sponsored my sister and her family this year 2022 is f15 yrs I got a message starting refill the I-864 from and submitted 2018 tax return transcript. Do I use 2021 tax return info on the form? Thanks for your help!
I am a US citizen, sponsoring my wife (living abroad) but I do not have enough income. My friend will be helping us. Q1) I am filling I-864, correct? Q2) He is filling I-864 and I-864A, correct? Q3) I and my friend are joint sponsors, correct? My friend is married and files taxes jointly with his wife. Does his wife need to fill anything? Thank you!
What if the sponsor is not a household member, he is a friend of the petitioner? Do we keep the same form I-864 a? But how do we answer the questions about the relationship, and where do we include, he's information if the I -864 a is only about the household members?
Hello, Kseniya. I have a question. My friend is going to be a sponsor for her family member. She doesn't have enough income, so she needs a joint sponsor. She wants her boyfriend to be the one, however they reside in the same household. In this case he will have to fill out I864a, or a different form? (They reside in the same household). Thank you!
Hii great video! I just have one question, I live with my husband and I am the immigrant and we live with his mom and she is going to be supporting us does she have to fill in i864 and i864A as well? Or does she just fill i864A? And my husband fills i864? Thank you

Hi. I am currently living with my husband abroad but plan to live with my brother before my husband immigrates. Will he be my joint sponsor or household member?
I can't seem to find the answerr to this question...Do I have to put my 15 month old son & 4 year old daughter on the I-864 form if they already have a US Passport, US Birth certificate, US social security cards and collect SSI because of my age, 69. I do put them on my taxes only as my dependents but not there income, not allowed.
I understand that but do I have to include there income when it can't be claim on taxes? It's used for them and puts the total household income where it should be as far as requirements
Hi Kseniya! Your videos are very helpful and im very grateful, but i’m confused. What if the joint sponsor and the household member is the same person? Does she need to fill out form i864 and i864a? Hope you’ll notice me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

One question on 864 and 864a; the questions that have the most recent (3 years) total income. This should have the joint income (sponsor + household member income), is it not?
Questions 24a-c ask for total income as written on the total income line on federal tax returns. I believe it’s line 9

You’re real life experience is great. I am filing 1-130+A, my wife and I were virtually married. 9 Oct 2021. I traveled to her home Feb 24th 2022 so the marriage has been consummated. Which is required under what they call a proxy marriage.
Do you have experience with this? After paying quite a sum of money to a real recognized visa assistance company they were informed by USCIS that they were no longer allowed to process virtual marriages I don’t know if they did something wrong I assume they did anyhow my money is supposed to be refunded according to their text to me. You can imagine what this news was to My wife and I who have worked with them over 15 months felt like. I really like doing it myself. My daughter-in-law and immigrant from the Philippines suggested we do it ourselves she can help me and I want him to follow everything that you have and I’ve been watching your program and I feel more comfortable with your information. That’s why I sent you a little something this morning I’m not trying to buy your support of what I’m trying to do I’m just trying to say I really appreciate it let me know if you have some body that you’ve had to assist in this thank you, have a great day.
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for all your videos, they have helped me so much! I do have a question for my specific case, my husband (petitioner) is filing for AOS for me (principal immigrant), he doesn’t make enough income so his mother is going to help. She doesn’t live with us but she includes my husband as a dependent in her taxes. Should she fill out form I864 as a joint sponsor or 864A as household member?
eu tambem queria saber sobre isso. @KseniyaInternational
Thank you very much for your detailed information
Hi - thanks so much for your videos! I'm a USC is sponsoring their spouse and we both live with my parent and sister - I was wanting to know if the household size needs to be all four of us or just 3? I will need to use my parent's income as a household member and my parent has my sister on their tax return as a dependent.
Thank you so much. This video helped me to fill out mine
Very useful video👍🏼 Thank you so much and God bless🙏🏼
Thank you for this help Kseniya, One thing I would like to clarify, if the Joint sponsor and household member are filing tax jointly, the amount to put in the three recent years total income will be the same amount as the joint sponsor? Thank you so much for the help.
I have same question .if you find the answer can you help me to . On the i864 3 recent years we put the incomes for both joint sponsor and spouse. In i864A 3 recent years she said we put individual gros income of spouse . Im confused to
Thank you with your help i had no issues.
Can you do a video of I-864a household member from a brother or sister in law or other that is not the original petitioner of I-864. Page 2 on i-864 a when it say “ i the sponsor “ what name to put in that part and page 4 and 5 who sign it
Hi Kseniya, thanks for putting together such a valuable video. Even though that you stated on the video at 18:52 that this form has to be signed by hand my question is: Can I digitally signed (electronically drawing my signature) in Adobe Acrobat? Thanks in advance.
No, NVC requests pen signatures
Your videos are great, and I get a lot of useful information from them. I have a question about using a household members real estate as an asset for the i-186 and i-186A. In using assets to help supplement the income, how would I go about using real estate for my assets? and what proof would I need?
Hi yyy dddjjjf😮 you thy a 😮
If you are completing Form I-864A, which is used to supplement an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), and you have filed your tax returns in different ways (3rd most recent jointly and 2nd and 1st most recent separately), what should you do?
Hi Kseniya, thanks so much for all the videos you have been sharing. I filled out the form I864A. I got this message from NVC last week, I don't understand it. I need your help. This is the message I found in my inbox. " Please add Mr X as a household member under Mr Y. all documents for Mr X should be submitted under their own name."
It means you have to create a household member on your CEAC portal and upload those documents there.
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you so much!
Hi Kseniya.
Thanks for the very informative videos.I have a question about a household member.
My daughter is a US citizen. She filled out I-130 and I-864 for me. Now NVC asked her to add her husband as a household and fill out I-864-A. In which form she has to add her husband as a household? Thanks
Hello Kseniya, very helpful your videos I have done everything on my own for my two parents who are out of the country following your videos , they are very detailed oriented. starting with the I130, now working with the NVC.
When I did my taxes of last year my second daughter was not born yet, I believe I have to include her on the i864 as another child correct? Thanks
Yes you must count all children
hi!I filled out the I-864A for my husband as the other sponsor but i got a message saying that my documents is invalid because it wasnt submitted under household members.I'm not sure how was it because I believed i wrote my husband's name in part 1 so how did it went wrong.which part has the correction?Please help me and thank you for this video.
Hi I filled my parents and I got same answer. What you reply them?
Here I got the same message. I filled up the I 864 with household info & added the household member on the sponsor’s I 864 page 4 part 6 person 1 section. I still got the same message asking to that person as a household member under the sponsor. Very confused. Please help
Same here thing
@@sheenaanderson8759 I asked them via email. They said on the summary page there are buttons/boxes you can click “add a household member” add a joint sponsor” i think you have to click on these whatever applies to you & add documents under their names
Hey what if the joint sponsor filed taxes with their spouse. Does the spouse need to submit there financial information as well ?
Good question !!! Can we have an answer to this question please !!?
Hey Kseniya, so my wife is sponsoring me and she does not have enough annual income. I am currently on my F1- stem opt and work here in USA. Can i add my income in order to fullfill requirement? Also according to the video i dont need to fill out i864A right? As i am little confused as it says you need to be US citizen and you cannot sponsor yourself things like that on USCIS website.
Hi Kseniya, can you clarify please, if I am the immigrant and my wife (the sponsor) and I are going to initially use our savings to support our move to the US before we find work is this the form to use? We are both currently living and working in the UK. Thank you.
if the person you are sponsoring has a work permit already
can you add them as part of the sponsor?
Hi Ksenia, thank you very much for your video. I got confused about my situation. I am an intended immigrant a wifw of usa citizen. Me, my husband and his parents live in the same residence. My husband do not have enough income to sponsor me so his parents agreed to co-sponsor me. The house is the property of his parents. Noone is a dependent or have dependents. Our expenses are separate. So we are 2 households under the same roof .Is it possible to combine me, my husband as a sponsor and parents as house hold members,and fill l 864 for husband, and 2 i864a for his parents, or make one of the parents as a joint sponsor and fill I864 for my husband, second I864 for one of his parents and and fill i864a for a second parent as a house hold member? The parents file taxes jointly, meanwhile my husband file separately irrelevant they all live at the same residence.Many thanks for your opinion
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am a citizen and I filed a Petition for my Mom and I will fill out the I-864 but I want to know if I can submit my tax returns that I have with my husband, we pay taxes as a couple.
Hi Kseniya, thanks for really informative page and videos. I have a question regarding HHM I-864A. NVC asked me to add my spouse (intending immigrant) as a HHM and asking file I-864A under her name. But in this vide you mentioned that (part 2, 1a) if my spouse is intending immigrant then we do not need file that form. What need to do then, filing or not and if not what form or supporting letter we need to send or respond for them I-864A request. Thank you. Best regards, Elchin
Hi Elchin! I’m in your exact same scenario, what did you ended up doing?
Great video. After listening to your video, as my understanding that if the intending immigrant also your spouse, that use income as household member (same household) then you don’t need to submit i 864A, is it correct? Thank you
Correct
You are a godsend. Thank you!!!
Amazing video. After completing and signing how do we submit the documents. They states sign in ink and no digital signatures?
Thanks for detail info, I have a question though, I have Petitioner Sponser(i-864, name X) and another joint sponsor (I864+i864A, name Y&Z), so in this another joint sponser i864A in section 5 whose name i should put..? original petitioner sponser name(X) OR another joint Sponser name(Y)..?
Thank you so much for the video. It's helped me complete my father's I-864A with my spouse. I have a question about the I-864. If I sponsored my sisters 10 years ago, do I have to add them to the household size part 5 #6, sponsor's household size? I appreciate your help.
You don’t have to count them if one of the following conditions is met:
Your sisters are US citizens, they have earned 40 quarters of SSA coverage, or they’re not longer permanent residents.
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you so much. They have permanent residents, so I will add them.
@@isaiah53_1 have they worked in the US at least 10 years and earned 40 social security credits?
@@KseniyaInternational Yes, they have worked for 10 years, but I don't know about the social security credits. Thank you again.
@@isaiah53_1 if they’ve worked for 10 years and paid taxes, they’ve earned the credits. You don’t have to count them
Your videos have helped me so much oh wow. I have one question. I am filing i864a but there are 4 applicants that my husband are petitioning for. Do I need to do 4 forms or add all 4 applicants to one form
Thank you for your nice and informative explanation. I have a question about the police certification. My immigrant document is qualified on October 18, 2022. When I checked my ceac account it says the police certificate missing. I submitted the police certificate in march 2021. I don't know why they are asking again. My question is the line for interviews is too long in my county /Ethiopia/. May I wait until the interview letter send? Or to send the new police certification again. Because the police certificate expired each year. If they are not scheduled the interview again I have to submit the police certification a third time. I need your advice, please.
Hi thanks for your work and sharing informative videos , I am filing I485 with I864W and I765, I693, I131 I am beneficiary of F3 family and spouse also filing same forms as she is here but she does not have enough ssa qualifying quarters . For her instead of I863W what for,s should be filled out? I864A or I864 with I864A?
is the sponsor and petitioner the same? I'm confuse wether on which option to select. Im the petitioner asking for my dad to come and my mom is going to be my affidavit. would that be the option that says "im not the intending immigrant. I'm the sponsors household member.... and then select parent?
Hello! Thank you for the info 🙏🏻🙏🏻tell me please if my boyfriend doesn’t fill the taxes with me but we live in the same house!Can he be the householder or he has to file I864 separately like sponsor for my parents? Thank you very much for your help
Great video. Just a quick question.
I am the primary petitioner to my spouse. (i have filled the i-864)
However we need a joint sponsor. (who has already filled the i-864)
And this joint sponsor has a spouse who will also be combining income
You said that if the joint sponsor has a spouse who will also be using their income than that spouse has to fill out the I-864A correct?
Yes
thank for your videos , very educated. i have a question , if i am married does my husband has to do form 864a? i am petitioning my parents. but he is not resident yet, but we do married filling joinly taxes .
Thank you! So helpful! Between when I submit my application and when I will be interviewed, I will probably not be living with the household member. Would it make more sense to just use them as a joint sponsor from the start or just bring an updated joint sponsor application when I have the interview? Thank you!!!
So helpful your videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So, my joint sponsor has (who is my aunt) has to fill out I-864A in addition to I-864?
For context: My husband, U.S. citizen is the primary petitioner but does not make enough income. My aunt lives in another state but is my joint sponsor.
?Am I the beneficiary, my aunt (joint sponsor's) house hold member? SO this the agreement has to be filled out between me(intending immigrant) and my aunt (joint sponsor)?
great content. I applzud your effort in assisting people llike myself. Iam however still uncertain as to the real diference between the i864 and the 1864a. filing for my spouce for a while now and recently was told by nvc that my income isnt enough to petition for my spouce so i need have a joint sponsor fill out i864 but based on the mention of form A in your videoI am wondering if i864a must also be completedby joint sponsor despoite the request of 1864b specifically metioned to be completed. in shoerter term: when do i need to get the form 1864a if any at all? awaiting speeedy clarity. time is of the essence
Did you find an answer to this question?
Thanks for sharing. I would like to know that if my peritioner files her tax through married filing jointly(with her husband)but only her income meets the requirements(her income is enough to sponsor us), does her husband need to fill out i-864a because of tax jointly? If yes, does he need to provide his tax documents and financial evidences?
I have a video on that
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you so much! I watched the video about married filing jointly. As fas as I understand, if we file taxes jointly, we have two options
1. use combine income(petitioner and her spouse) or
2. individual income(only petitioner) when the petitioner income is enough.
So, if we choose option 1, we will need i864a.
If we choose option 2, we won't need any i864a. Right?
For option 2, we will have to calculate only petitioner's income from total income in taxes transcript. Right?
Please correct me if I am wrong. I would like you to confirm my understanding cuz we are gonna upload i864 and not sure to file i864a or not. Thanks in advance.
@@allisonlynn43 you’re almost right. For the total taxes information in Q 24a-c you still have to write joint income as listed on tax returns. Must include W2
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you. I got it. For Q 24a-c, fill joint income and for Part6 Q7, calculate and fill only petitioner's income. In this way, we don't neeed i 864a.

Thank you so much for making this video super helpful
Your video help me a lot to complete the form 864 A as a Household member but I got rejected my husband 864 A and I has to submit as a joint sponsor but all the form are only Household member.
In the part 5 where the sponsor should sing, its not a black space as the others areas. Do I sing after the word signature?
What if we find sponsor for my husband our sponsor will be full sponsor. Do I still have to fill out I864? If yes what do I have answer from 1a-1f ? Thank you so much for your time I’ll make sure to like all your videos

Hello, currently I live with my wife in South Korea. She is Korean and I will be her sponsor. When we arrive in the US we will be getting support from my parents (my wife's father-in-law, mother-in-law). Since the immigrant (my wife) is only related by marriage and we have yet to live with them, would they be a joint sponsor or a household member?
Hi! We have applied for a Green card for my parents through my sister. She currently (2023) doesn't have any income so, I (her brother) became a joint sponsor, but at the same time, she is filing a tax return as married file joint, so, I guess, by default she is using her husband's income as well. Long story short, I became a joint sponsor and her husband became a household member so we have submitted both I864 and I864a. However, nvc has accepted everything and just rejected the I864a without any explanation. My question is, can a case has two different type of sponsors? Like what my sister did? a Joint sposer and a household member? Thanks for the help
Hello!
I have a question. How to add a household member if the primary sponsor and the household member have the same name and last name? It will not let me add the household member, it says that a problem occured as i can not add 'the same person'. But it is not the same person! In this case, can I add the household member's documents under the primary sponsor's documents in the 'additional documents' section, explaining the situation?
Thank you. I am a Household member and employed in the United States with 40 social security credits. I am intending immigrant and also parent of the sponsor/petitioner, living in the same residence as the petitioner. petitioner is a student and unemployed. What form should I or petitioner fill out for affidavit of support, I-864/I-864A/I-864W? Also what form should I or petitioner fill out for my spouse (homemaker and unemployed) who is also parent of the petitioner and intending immigrant.
The applicant applying for the permanent residency.
Hello Kseniya, Thank you so much for all of the videos and information it’s helped me a lot. But I have a question I’m totally confused about. I’m currently a full-time student with no income but I have to file affidavit support for my spouse. my question is can I add my dad's income as a household member and file I 864A? Also, my uncle will help me with a joint sponsor so he needs to file for I-864 right? Another thing is do I need to add all my household members ( mom and brother) they don't have income and they are dependent on my dad. It might be great if you can explain it to me. Thank you so much.
Hello, household members are used to supplement petitioner’s income while joint sponsors are used to completely replace petitioner’s income. If petitioner uses a joint sponsor, then petitioner’s income becomes completely irrelevant and it makes no sense to add household members in that case. Petitioner still must fill out I-864 regardless.
@@KseniyaInternational Hello Kseniya, thanks again. This is well-explained regarding my question. If I may I’d like to ask one more thing, would it still be okay if I add household member income in I-864? It’s not an issue, right? even though i have a joint sponsor. If it’s an issue or delaying the case review I won’t add it. Please Let me know if possible. Thanks in advance.
@@shefar1171 hello, it makes no sense to include an additional form from the household member for review of their income will not be considered (because it would be combined with the petitioner).
Thank you so much very clear and helpful 👍
In section 4 numbers 2a thru c, is that income of spouse of sponsor or total household income which includes both sponsor and spouse household income?
Did you get a response
So the signature in part 5 wouldn't be Jane Doe the spouse but John Doe the Co-Sponsor right ?
Hi Keseniya! I'm still pretty confused as to whether I must file the I-864A or not. My husband is petitioning for me (the intending immigrant) to get my green card. Unfortunately, he does not exceed the poverty guidelines by a hair, so I'd like to use my income to satisfy the financial requirement. So, must I submit a I-864A along with his I-864? For context, we recently filed our taxes jointly, I'm legally working in the US (I'm a DACA recipient), and he's petitioning for me only (I have no dependents). Please help!

so how should we file our RFE RESPONSE?.

I do put them on my taxes only as my dependents but not there income, not allowed.
You have to count them in the household size
I understand that but do I have to include there income when it can't be claim on taxes? It's used for them and puts the total household income where it should be as far as requirements
