Question on Filling in I-864

[sh3l33t 0]

hi,

I am a UK citizen and currenty in the US, i am preparing to send the following for a AOS based on marriage to my US citizen wife.

I-765

G325a (one for me and one for my wife)

I-693

I-485 (filing fee $930 + 80 biometric fee)

I-864

I-130 (filing fee $355

I am now unemployed as i have married and will be living here (hopefully) so my US citizen wife is petitioning on I-130and also sponsoring me on I-864 as she is a business owner andhas assets etc etc.

So on Part 3:

Question 8. she puts a X in the box and a X directly below in the yes box ? she does not answerNO as she is the sole sponsor.

then Question 10 she puts 1 in the box as she is sposoring me only.

Then when it comes to part 5 we are confused ?

she puts a 1 for question a (the same as entered online 10)

there is a 1 already enterd on question b for herself.

Then it asks on Question c if she is married then enter a 1 (well she is married to me the principal immigrant)

So on question h the total would be 3 even though the household size is only myself and my wife (2)

we dont get it ? please help ?

i think we are being stupid ?

Thankyou for your time in advance

I cannot see why Part #5 confuses people.

I-864 is filled out by the SPONSOR, NOT prospective immigrant. DO NOT COUNT THE PROSPECTIVE IMMIGRANT TWICE, they are counted as IMMIGRANT NOT SPOUSE.

21a is ONE, 21c IS ZERO because they are being SPONSORED.

Hi me and my husband had this dillema then too.

21 Person you are sponsoring in this affidavit

a) 1

Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit

b)yourself---1

c)its 0 because you're already count as 1 in the person sponsored so the total would still be 2

it is being filled out by the Sponsor ( ie my wife) i the prospective immigrant am just posing the question as we are both unsure on the answer.

OK that makes it clearer, thank you for your help

NOTE: The OP is NOT adjusting status from a K-Visa, they are adjusting from a visitor's visa, the I-130 and FEE are required so that they can base the AOS on the I-130.

Fees are $355 for the I-130, and $1010 for the (I-485/I-765/I-131)

People adjusting status based on a K-Visa paid the $355 (I-130 K-3), or $455 (I-129F K-1) fee when they applied for the K-Visa.
