From reading the instructions for all the i-864 and doing research online. The i-864a is for family members to combine income. Like a husband and wife, parents and dependent child, etc... when you combine incomes it increases the household size as well. So they have to prove a family relationship and the fact they live at the same home plus combine their incomes. If your brother in law qualifies on his own with 3 people (or however many are in his own household) that may be an easier route for you with both your husband and his brother using the i-864.

Hi NLR just spoke to NVC and they said my husband and brother each should do an I-864. But the lady was not really helpful at all.

Can you please help me understand which household I would be counted in?

My husband I-864

Himself

Brother I-864

Himself

Wife

Do where do I get counted

You are counted in both households as the immigrant being sponsored. So your husband's household size is 2. And his brother's household size would be 4.

Does his brother make enough for a household of 4?

Because she doesn't make income she doesn't "need" to but include w2s to show that the husband makes all the income.
