Hey there.
I am a k1 visa holder who was married last month. I live with my wife and her parents in the same household, and am currently in the process of putting together my adjustment of status documents.
I'm reaching a bit of an inpass with the I-864. My wife is a student working a couple of part-time jobs, so the income on her I-864 does not meet the poverty requirements. Her father (her mother does not work, and the two file taxes together) has agreed to give the necessary support, as he earns well over the poverty line. After an hour of searching, the consensus seems to be that my father-in-law should be filing our a second I-864, with supporting evidence. This is simple enough.
What is worrying me is the wording of the USCIS:
My father-in-law fits the criteria here. He is a household member whose income will support me, the principal immigrant, so why would he not be filling in an I-864A? Does he do both?
Likewise, if my father-in-law does just do a second I-864, is my wife simply lie / ignore anything on her own I-864 that mentions 'household size' or 'total income for the household'? Every Part that asks for this information leads to needing an I-864A.
Is this just a case of a badly laid-out form?
Thanks in advance.

What is worrying me is the wording of the USCIS:
You must provide the name, relationship and current income of any other household member whose income will be considered to support the principal immigrant and any family members listed in Part 3.
These household members must share the same principal residence as the financial sponsor, and must also complete Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member.
