So, I asked the same question to 5 different lawyers and promptly I got 5 different answers.
I am a US citizen, sponsoring my mother, who is already legally in the US.
I am filing I-864.
I am a housewife and have no income on my own.
my husband works and we file taxes together (my name is on his tax returns).
Last lawyer said to:
Fill out form I-864 with $0 as my income for the last 3 years and for individual tax income.
Then under "income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size" I put my husband's name.
Then fill out another I-864 (not I-864A) with my husband's info and tax info and attach his tax return transcripts.
Does it sound right? I am asking because other lawyers suggested different options. didn't get 2 same answers.
Other option would be to fill out a I-864A for my husband, but he is in my same household.
