I864 HELP!

[longvanilla 0]

Hello, I am a frequent visitor of this site and it has helped me so much in my journey so far. Since I have not found the answer to a specific question, I have decided to finally create an account and ask it myself. Here is my current situation:

I brought my wife (fiance at the time) here on a K1 visa and we got married on 2-2-2013. We have no children or dependents. Now it is time to start filing for AOS. I am currently double checking, triple checking, and quadruple checking my i485 packet to make absolutely sure that everything is filled out correctly and I am having trouble understanding some questions in part 3 and part 5 of form i864(affidavit of support)

Part 3, question 10 states. "Enter the total number of immigrants you are sponsoring on this form from Part 3, Items 8 and 9." Then there are two boxes to fill out. My question is, do I enter a value for question 8 in the first box, and another value for question 9 in the next box?

What I have now is in the first box [1] (for my spouse)and in the second box [0] (for dependents) because as I understand it, it is asking two seperate questions. Is this right?

Then the same applies for me in part 5 question 21.h I put [1][1] as derived from 21.a [1][0] and 21.b [0][1]. The rest of the 21 questions were answered with zeros Will USCIS see this as me trying to sponsor 11 immigrants or was this filled out correctly?

My deadline to file is 3-9-2013. Any and all help is greatly appreciated

First, you don't have a deadline. There is no deadline to file for AOS.

For question 10, you would put 1.

Question 21b, you would put 1.

Your household size would be 2.

Here is the example form, check it out:

Well that example was pretty straightforward. I feel kinda stupid after stressing so much over two simple boxes haha. Thanks for the reply so promptly.

No worries, those forms can seem complicated. Good luck.
