Hi,
Could anyone tell me the differences between a I-864 and a I-864A?
My (american)wife and I are going the DCF route in the UK, and we are going to use her father for the joint sponsor. Does he fill out the I-864A, and my wife fill out the I-864?
Sorry for the probably very dumb question.

Since you are doing a DCF I take it your wife lives with you. So then she does an I-864 and her father does a separate I-864. They do not reside in the same household so the I-864A does not apply.

PS not a dumb question.

Great stuff, I've been searching for ages for that information! Thanks Rete

John, what Rete said, plus don't forget that you may include your assets with your wife's I-864 and, since you've lived together +6 months, any ongoing income you might have may be included.

If you're relying completely on your Joint Sponsor, you don't have to do the extra paperwork that the above would entail. It's merely an option.
