Another I-134 Question

[MrsBocanegra 3]

I am a full time student so I will be using a co-sponsor. For question 8 on the I-134 how should he answer Wholly or Partially? He has a 3 month old daughter, but will not claim her on his taxes. I know we have to put her as a dependent, but I am not sure if I should check wholly or partially. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wholly dependent. There is no difference and not sure why they even have such a question. There is no % assigned to people. It does not matter he claims her on taxes, minor children are considered dependents regardless of where or with whom they live or if they are claimed on anyone's taxes or not.

Partially dependent applies to cases like my adult sons. They are employed but both still live at home while they are saving for their own places. I don't pay for their food/clothes/cars/education and they simply take up space in what would be empty rooms.

Thanks for the help.

So a 20yo child in college who lives away from home and works is a partial dependant and the 18yo who lives at home and goes to high school is a full dependant. Or does all of this really matter is your income is above the 125% for a family of 5, my fiancee, her son, me and my 2 daughters?
