Hi guys,
I have done the entire visa journey predominantly on my own but I officially registered because I am extremely confused now. I filed the I-485 and had to file different forms alongside. The one that is giving me the most trouble currently is the I-864 affidavit of support form.
First let me explain the mistake that I made on the form. My wife and I submitted an I-864 however as she is unemployed we used her uncle as the sole joint sponsor. We incorrectly wrote his name on the form rather than hers thinking that we were doing the right thing. As it turns out this was incorrect. However, it doesn't seem to make a huge difference as we needed to send two separate I-864 forms; one from her (the petitioner) and one from her uncle (the sole joint sponsor). They have not said that we cannot use her uncle or anything as a sponsor; simply stating that we need to send in a form from the petitioner.
Now the question...when we submit the new I-864 form from my wife can we also use the form I-864a from her father as she is unemployed and living with her parents. I am currently provided for by her parents until we both finish our studies and are able to flourish on our own two feet. If it is possible to use her father as an additional on form I-864a do we need to fill out a new I-864 for him as well, totaling three separate forms?
Above all, since her uncle already meets the requirements can I simply send in my wife's I-864 stating she isn't working and hasn't earned much over the past few years etc? And if we do this will this negatively affect my status? Basically she is living under her father's roof and has no income, no property. Would this make a difference if we filed just her I-864?
I do apologize if any of this was confusing. I am confused myself right now on what to do. PLEASE shed some light on this issue for me. I am tearing my hair out since three days over this and I am unable to find anything on the internet regrading this!
THANKS to anyone for any help provided - much appreciated,
Regards
Asifai.
