  • affidavit of support joint income tax return

    My wife and I pay joint income tax return. I have filled I-130 for my sister. When her date becomes current does can I be the only sponsor of my sister's family? Does my wife needs to also complete I-864? My income alone is enough to cover my family (4) and my sister's family.

    If your own income is enough and you are not counting your wife's income, your wife does not have to fill out I-864A.

    However, a few consulates have been reported to insist that the spouse fill out an I-864A anyway even if it's not necessary.

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

      My income is enough to cover my family and my sisters. for my sister, it will be Mumbai, India consulates. How do i find out if they require joint affidavit of support or i can just do one of my own?

        Has anyone done this? can I just submit I-864 and not have my wife complete I-864A?
