Parent co-sponsor question (do I need an i-864A from dad?)

[yanglan]

My mother is our co-sponsor and has completed the i-864 form and provided her tax transcripts for 2013 as well as proof of income and birth certificate.

 

My parents are both retired, married/live together, and file their taxes jointly and I'm wondering whether I need to supply an i-864A for my father. If so, does he need to provide the same documentation as my mom? (tax transcripts would be the same, but birth cert and income proof?) Their income far exceeds the poverty line due to pensions and social security.

Your father would need to file an I-864A if his SEPARATE income needs to be included - it may be a good idea anyway, to show his support for your scheme/visa.
