Co sponsor household size?

[talean nawaz 41]

I just read here in the forums that my co sponsor (not household member) would need to add me to his household size (me being the petitioner) on the i-864... is this info correct? this doesn't make sense to me as he is not supporting me in anyway, nor am I his dependent. I read the form and it says nothing about adding the petitioner if you are a co sponsor it just asks for yourself, immigrant and dependents.

No, joint sponsor does not add petitioner to their household size, unless you are a dependent of the joint sponsor.

Thanks, thats what I thought.

so co-sponsor and beneficiary. that's it?

makes more sense since we don't live with the co sponsor.

Yes, and they only add beneficiary to household size number. Not you.

thanks for your feedback.. just to make sure - my husband will send i864 and my husband's aunt, our non household co sponsor will fill in i864 - we dont need an i864a?

sorry for the many follow up questions - i just need to make sure we workon the right papers

bless you all...

I-864a is if your non-household member co-sponsor (your aunt) is married and you need to show that she herself meets the requirements (so, husband would fill out I-864a). Also, this shows that (husband) is willing to accept the risks, since they are married they BOTH assume responsibility.

So, yes. You fill out I-864 and so does your aunt.
