I-1864

[Bern. 3]

Hello everyone, so my question is about the I-864. =)

I know it's for 2009, but since my husband has been and will be deployed for the entirety of 2009, should we fill out the form with his deployment pay in mind or should we just fill it out with the amount in mind that he would be earning if he weren't deployed. Also, he got a $10,000 sign on bonus this past February and he's getting another $10,000 in Feb 2010.

We're confused. Any input would be fantastic.

Another question.

Um, going over the I-1864, we ended up getting a household size of 3. unsure.gif

21. Persons you are sponsoring in this affidavit:

a. Enter the number you entered on line 10.

So thats a 1.

Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:

b. Yourself. 1

c. If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse.

Do we count this one too? So confused. x_x

No, you do count someone twice. So, under spouse, leave it blank. That field is there in case you are sponsoring someone other than a spouse.

Put his income that it he as the time you sign the Affidavit. It asks for annual, bonuses are considered part of salary, so put his 2009 deployment income and bonus if you are filing the Affidavit in 2009.
