Hi everyone,
I have been married for almost 8 months now and right now im collecting all of my documents to apply for my green card.
The problem is my wife doesnt make enough money at all because you was pregnant plus she didnt claim her tax at all. My mother in law will be our sponsor so im not sure which form does she have to fill out? I-864 or I-864A

-Would it be a problem if my wife didnt claim her tax in past 3 years? if so what should i do?
-What does my mother in law need beside her income tax in past 3 year?
-How much money does my mother need ?
-Does my mother in law need to show her bank statement?
-Does my mother in law need to fill out G-325A?

Thanks in advance
David

Does your mother in law live with both you and your wife? If yes, she would fill out I-864A. If not, she would fill out I-864.

In either case, your MILs I-864/I-864A will be in addition to an I-864 filled out by your wife. Your wife is the petitioner (the person who is filing the I-130), so she is considered the primary sponsor, regardless of how much money or income she has. Other people such as your MIL who are pledging financial support are called joint sponsors or household members or co-sponsors.

-How much money does my mother need ? That depends on the "household size" for the I-864 calculation. Read the I-864 instructions to see how that is counted, and read I-864P to see the required $$ amounts for each household size.

My wife she doesnt make enough money and she didnt claim her tax the year before last year. She will fill out I-864 and we need to find a co-sponsor.

One of my close friend is willing to help me ....
My question is, Does it has to be only her relative? or Can anyone be my sponsor?


will it make my case more complicated? and Is there a chance to get deny if i have my friend be our co-sponsor?

See page 3 of the I-864 instructions.
