Filed the I-129f today with your help. Now I have questions!

That is correct and not really odd at all. You are a USC and do not need or require sponsorship. He does not include you and list you as a dependent on his I-134 because you are not his dependent and in his household count. Everyone you live with is not necessarily in your household count.

How to count household size >

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ

Okay now I feel silly. I didn't count him in my household count when figuring out if I met the threshold on my own, so of course he wouldn't include me either when doing the same. I gotcha! Thanks so much. Just had a blonde moment. Glad I asked because I probably would have told him to include me. He would have still met the requirements but it wouldn't have been right. Thanks again (:

If your fiance works differing hours per week, but consistently makes enough to bring her over the poverty guideline amount, you can gather up the last few months' paychecks and average those out to determine current income. This was advice given to me here and on another forum as my husband works security with differing hours each week.

I apologize for being a bummer here, but please be aware about using a co-sponsor. As with those who file the I134 and I184 without a co-sponsor, the co-sponsor would be financially responsible if the beneficiary becomes a public charge even if a divorce is made - until the beneficiary returns to his/her country of origin and ceases to be a lawful resident in the US, has worked at least 40 qualifying quarters of work (roughly 10 years), becomes a US citizen, or dies.

So if this happens,the petitioner would have to be wary of the co-sponsor who they would be placing this huge reponsibility on. I would be sick to my stomach if I had someone like my mom as the co-sponsor and things did not work out and my now ex-wife became a public charge ...

I am not saying that this would happen, even since you make more than enough money to not be a public charge, but this is just FYI for all who view this thread and was thinking about using a co-sponsor. It's like "you can hit me in the face all you want" ... but "once you start hitting my mom in the face" ... now it's war. Just something to think about.

Sorry for being a bummer

That only applies to a joint sponsor signing an I-864. The I-134 is not legally binding.
