I need help with I-864

[dathp2017]

Hi everyone,

I am helping my grandpa filling out I-864 for his three sons:

1) When filling out I-864 for one son, does he need to include 2 other sons onto that I-864? if so, how do I do it?

All of his sons are single and they dont have kid, under the part 3, the family members section means the dependent of the sponsored, not his two other brothers, correct?

2)My grandpa is living with his wife, so under the sponsor's household size in part 5, the house hold would be 3 (himself+his wife + sponsored son) ? or 5 ( himself+his wife+ total of 3 sons are being sponsored?

3) His son in law will be the joint sponsor, but he filed tax with his wife as married jointly tax, does his wife have to file a form I-864 too? or she has to file I-864A?

4) my grandpa is not working, can a joint-sponsor sponsor for multiple people or it is recommended that they should sponsor only one?


Thank you

Who is petitioning whom? I am assuming that the grandpa is the petitioner, and he separately petitioned for the 3 sons (with 3 separate petitions)? and a visa number is becoming available for all of them and they are all immigrating around the same time?

no

correct, no family members

2)My grandpa is living with his wife, so under the sponsor's household size in part 5, the house hold would be 3 (himself+his wife + sponsored son) ? or 5 ( himself+his wife+ total of 3 sons are being sponsored?

3

3) His son in law will be the joint sponsor, but he filed tax with his wife as married jointly tax, does his wife have to file a form I-864 too? or she has to file I-864A?

The son-in-law, as joint sponsor, will fill out an I-864 (actually, three I-864s). If his current individual income is sufficient, then he does not need to count anyone else's income. If his current individual income is insufficient, then he can count his wife's income to make it sufficient, in which case she would need to fill out I-864A as his household member. Some consulates might ask for I-864A from the wife even though her income is not needed.

4) my grandpa is not working, can a joint-sponsor sponsor for multiple people

yes
