form 864-question #21

[hoang 0]

I am filling out the form 864 and stuck on question #21. Please help me if anyone knows what I should fill out.

I am co-sponsor for a total 3 beneficiaries, each is on its own visa petition, thus each beneficiary has its on 864 affadavit.

On my tax return, i am head of household and a total of 3 including me. On each affadavit, each beneficiary counts as 1 which total of

4 (my family of 3 + 1 beneficiary = 4) as I am filling out the question 21 up to 21-e where it asks "if you have any other dependents, please enter here". Do I consider the other two beneficiaries on the other affadivit as dependents which total of 6 ( family of 3 + 1 beneficiary on the affadivit + 2 beneficiary on the other affadavit = 6) ?

simple thinking on each affadavit for each beneficiary: questions #21e

no dependents.

3 members of my family + 1 beneficiary = 4

complicated thinking on each affadavit for each beneficiary: questions #21e

considers the other 2 beneficiaries as dependents on the other affadavit

3 members of my family + 1 beneficiary + 2 beneficiary ( other visas and has its own affadavit) = 6

please help!!!!!!

your total is going to have to equal 6 on each form.

your total is going to have to equal 6 on each form.

Correct. Fill in the correct number of other dependents on each affidavit, so the total number is six. That will be two other dependents on the spouse's affidavit and just one "other" and one spouse on the stepchildren's affidavits.

I'm in the process of filling out form I-864 myself and it looks like 6 is your magic number.
