I-864EZ QUESTION???

[Lizz&Mohamed 2]

Hello fellow VJ members,

I need your help plz. Can anyone tell me on the I-864EZ form, question 16, Household Size. The following is stated and asked:

a. Yourself and the person you are sponsoring on this form. 2 (#2 is in a box by default).

Then it asks this: (to declare a number in this box)

b. Your spouse.

My question is this: Do I put a #1 in box "b" even though my husband is the person I am sponsoring??? If I do this will increase the actual size of my household by 1. HELP!

Also,

The documentation asked for is last years tax return but they also tell you that if you want to include the last 3 years of returns, last 6 months of check stubs, and an employer letter "if you believe any of these if items will help you qualify"??? Is more better?

Thank you.

Liz

I called NVC and USCIS twice to confirm and they said I can either leave it blank or put 0 in it, dosnt matter, as long as I dont count anyone twice. I left it empty as that will be less confusing, I think ...hope I dont get a RFE...

No you did fine, the spouse they are referring to is say if you are sponsoring a child or your mother or sister etc... And you have a spouse already living with you in the household... You can leave it blank, as long as the total is 2 for total household size.

As fas as the income/pay stub issue... If the sponsors income is enough to cover everyone and they have proof of current income (paystubs 6 months and employment letter) then dont worry about the last 3 years... This is if you think it might be questioned if there is enough... However, if they do question it, then you just provide it...
