Fill out I-864A (Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member) online
Form I-864A is a contract between the I-864 sponsor and a household member who agrees to make their income and assets available to support the sponsored immigrant. It is used when the primary sponsor cannot meet the income requirement alone and needs to combine income with a household member.
How to fill out I-864A (Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member)
Determine if the I-864A is needed
Review the sponsor's household size and income on Form I-864. If the sponsor's individual income does not meet 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the household size, a household member can contribute their income by signing an I-864A.
Enter household member information
Provide the household member full legal name, date of birth, SSN, A-Number (if applicable), address, and relationship to the sponsor. The household member must live at the same address as the sponsor.
Report household member income and assets
Enter the household member's current annual income and list any assets they are making available. The household member must provide their most recent federal tax return and evidence of employment or income.
Sign and submit with the I-864
Both the household member and the sponsor must sign the I-864A. Attach the household member's tax returns, W-2s, and employment verification letter. Submit the I-864A together with the sponsor's I-864.

How long does the I-864A obligation last?
Like the I-864, the I-864A creates a legally binding obligation that lasts until the sponsored immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, is credited with 40 qualifying quarters of work, permanently departs the U.S., or dies. The household member who signs the I-864A is jointly and severally liable with the sponsor for the immigrant's financial support.
