my husband is US citizen but we do not live in US and he applied for immigrant visa request for me.
at first we completed i130. now our case is in national visa center. in this step we should complete affidavit of support. my sister in-law lives in US and she is our sponsor.
i tried to complete form i-864 and i-864a but I confused ...

in our case, who is sponsor?
who is joint sponsor?
who is household member?
who should fill i-864 and i-864a?
and the most important question: are we filling correct forms?
 
I think they will ask you for the Affidavit of Support. Your husband is the petitioner and must always be a sponsor. Since he does not have enough U.S. income, his sister is the joint sponsor. Your husband fills out an I-864, and his sister fills out another I-864. If his sister's income is not enough by itself, and she wants to include the income of a member of her family (e.g. her husband), then that person would fill out an I-864A.

thank you so much for your help.
my husband is only my sponsor so what we should answer to the question in form i864 part 3 line 7:
enter the total number of immigrants you are sponsoring in this form from item 1 through 6 ....

You should enter 1, because you're the only immigrant. There should be nothing in Part 3 items 2-6.

Hi
my husband doesn't have US income. so we didn't fill part 6. what he should fill in this part?

Well, for current individual annual income he should put 0. And current annual household income also 0. And then he should provide tax information as required (he needs to attach the tax return for the last year, and give the "total income" number from the tax return for the last 3 years; if he didn't file a tax return for any year because he was not required to, because his income was too low, he needs to attach an explanation saying that).
 
i864 form

Hi
I have another question in FORM i-864, part 2, mailing address, 2.f. postal code. In this part we can enter only 9 characters, but postal codes of Iran have 10 characters, so what should i do?
also in part 2.a. street number, can i type Auxiliary road and main street or I should type only main street?
