Form I-864A. Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member
The I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, is a form used by individuals who wish to sponsor a family member or household member for immigration to the United States. The form is an addendum to the I-864 Affidavit of Support and is used to show that the sponsor's household member will also provide financial support to the immigrant.
The form consists of several parts, including the sponsor's and household member's personal information, the immigrant's information, and a list of the household member's income and assets. The important fields to consider when compiling the form include the sponsor's and household member's income, the immigrant's information, and the household member's relationship to the sponsor.
The parties involved in the form are the sponsor, the household member, and the immigrant. It is important to note that the household member must be legally residing in the United States and must have a social security number.
When compiling the form, data required includes the sponsor's and household member's personal information, the immigrant's information, and the household member's income and assets. Additionally, documents such as tax returns, pay stubs, and bank statements may be required to support the information provided in the form.
Application examples and use cases include sponsoring a family member for immigration to the United States, sponsoring a spouse for a green card, or sponsoring a fiancé(e) for a K-1 visa.
Benefits of the form include providing additional financial support for the immigrant, which can increase the chances of the immigrant being approved for a visa or green card. However, challenges and risks include the sponsor and household member being held financially responsible for the immigrant if they are unable to support themselves.
Related forms include the I-864 Affidavit of Support and the I-864EZ Affidavit of Support. The I-864A is an addendum to the I-864 Affidavit of Support and is used to show additional financial support.
The form affects the future of the participants by showing that the sponsor and household member are willing to provide financial support to the immigrant, which can increase the chances of the immigrant being approved for a visa or green card.
The form is submitted along with the I-864 Affidavit of Support and is typically filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The form is stored in the USCIS system and can be accessed by the sponsor, household member, and immigrant if needed.
