The Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, is a legally binding contract between the primary sponsor, a household member, and the U.

S.

Government.

This form is required when the primary sponsor's income alone, as reported on Form I-864, is not sufficient to meet the minimum income requirements (125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines) for the intending immigrant and their family.

By signing Form I-864A, the household member agrees to make their income and/or assets available to the primary sponsor to support the intending immigrant.

This commitment makes the household member jointly and severally liable with the sponsor for the financial support of the intending immigrant.

This form must be filed together with the main Form I-864.

Key Requirements:

  • Financial Contribution: The household member must agree to make their income and/or assets available to the sponsor and the intending immigrant. This income is then combined with the primary sponsor's income to meet the poverty guidelines.
  • Household Definition: The household member must be at least 18 years old, reside with the sponsor, and be a relative (spouse, parent, adult child, sibling) or a documented dependent on the sponsor's most recent tax return.
  • Joint Responsibility: The household member assumes joint and several liability with the sponsor, meaning they share the legal financial obligation. This obligation usually lasts until the immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked for 40 quarters (approximately 10 years) in the U.S.
  • Documentation: Household members must provide their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and proof of current employment or income.

Affidavit of Support for Spouse Visa (CR-1/IR-1) - Form I-864

The Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA , is a crucial, legally binding contract required for most family-based immigrant visa applications, including spouse visas (CR-1/IR-1). Its primary purpose is to demonstrate to the U.S. government that the intending immigrant, in this case, a spouse, will have adequate financial support from their sponsor in the United States and is therefore unlikely to become a 'public charge'. Key Requirements for Spouse Sponsorship: Sponsor Eligibility: The sponsor must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR), at least 18 years old, and domiciled in the U.S. The petitioning spouse is almost always the required sponsor. Financial Responsibility: The sponsor must show an income level at or above 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for their household size. For active duty military personnel sponsoring a spouse, this threshold is 100%. Assets can be used to supplement income if needed. Legally Binding Obligation: This financial commitment is serious and typically lasts until the sponsored spouse becomes a U.S. citizen, has worked for 40 qualifying quarters (approximately 10 years) in the U.S., departs the U.S. permanently, or dies. The sponsor is responsible for reimbursing any means-tested public benefits received by the sponsored immigrant during this period. Comprehensive Documentation: Sponsors must provide their most recent Federal Income Tax Returns (typically for the last three years, but the most recent is mandatory), proof of current employment and income (e.g., pay stubs, employment verification letter), and evidence of assets if necessary to meet the income threshold.
