AOS TROUBLES AGAIN!

[amazngrace 3]

I am planning to use my step-father as my co-sponsor. He wants me to fill it all out on the computer and then he will check it over and sign it. I know that I will have to list him and anyone living in the home, as well as me n my hubby(beneficiary) in the household size section of the I-864. However, I am having some dificulty determining where I am supposed to include myself. Would it be :

e. If you have any other dependents, enter the number here.

Also....My mother has no income other than social security. I know that is not accepted on an AOS so do I just simply not combine hers with my dads or list her income anywhere on the AOS even though she is a member of the house hold and has an income?

Thank you in advance for all your tips and help!

Does your dad claim you as a dependent on his taxes? Do you live in the same household? If the answer to both of these is "no" then your dad does not include you in his household. He does include your husband because he's the sponsored immigrant.

There are only two ways to include income from someone other than the sponsor on an I-864. One is to include income from the intending immigrant, but only if the intending immigrant is the spouse of the sponsor or is living in the same household with the sponsor. The other is a qualifying household member who submits an I-864A. A qualifying household member is either a qualifying relative - spouse, parent, or child, or someone whom the sponsor claims as a dependent on their tax return. You don't include your mother's income (or anyone elses) on your dad's I-864 unless she's going to submit an I-864A and provide her own financial documents.

No I dont live there and no he does not claim me on his taxes. How am I not supposed to include myslef? Isn't the point of this AOS co-sponsor to prove that in the case I can't support my "us" they will?

You fill out your own I-864 that includes yourself, your dependents and your husband. That is your household size. Your step father fills out his own I-864, and lists himself, wife, dependents and your husband for his household size. You are not part of his household size since you are not his dependent. He must qualify to sponsor your husband based on his own income for himself and his dependents + the immigrant, not you.

OK..... Thank you very much for that clarification! It makes complete since to me after reading for comment.
