Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, is an attachment to Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA. A separate Form I-864A must be used for each household member whose income and/ or assets are being used by a sponsor to qualify.
They generally include the following: Proof of income (and assets, if any) Proof of U.S. citizenship or green card holder status. If relevant, Form I-864A completed by each individual who will combine their income and/or assets with the joint sponsor's to meet the minimum annual income requirement.
Any other people in the United States whom the sponsor is supporting on a different Form I-864, if the obligation has not terminated, and. Any nondependent siblings, parents, or adult children who reside in the sponsor's household who are not dependents, if they complete a Form I-864A.

Proper documentation, such as most recent federal tax returns, birth certificates, and proof of residence must be submitted to USCIS to prove the relationship and shared residence. The household members do not have to be US citizens or permanent residents.
The sponsor does not have to prove the relationship to you (if you are the one being sponsored) but would have to give information of the spouse that was part of the joint filing including the US citizenship or legal residency. The marriage certificate would prove the relationship to the sponsor.
An affidavit of support is a legally enforceable contract, and the sponsor's responsibility usually lasts until the family member or other individual either becomes a U.S. citizen, or is credited with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years).
If you need to include the income of one of your household members to meet the requirements for financial support, then you may need to file Form I-864A (Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member) together with Form I-864.
