hi every one,

I know it might be too early to ask , as the petition I130 for step children I filed has not yet been approved, Just want to prepare things ahead of time if in case. How do I count our household size? I petitioned my wife back in 2013 and she is an LPR right now, so at present our household size is 2. Just filed 2 separate i30. One for Child A and one for Child B. If Iam right, I need to submit and fill out 2 separate I864, now the confusing part that i do not know is what to put on the household size. In filling out the i864 for child A do i count child B in Part 5 (HOUSEHOLD SIZE) question no. 6....If you have sponsored any other persons on an I864, or I864 EZ who are now legal permanent resident, enter the number here.., Now do i include Child B since Iam also sponsoring him in an I 864 and that our household size now will be a total of 4? or question no. 6 applies only to those sponsored in an I 864 who are already LPR? and in this case my household size will onle be a total of 3? Please , Please help me with this... I'm really Confused..........Thank you in advance

You need 3 I-864s

On the spouse's you count 2. You and immigrant.

On each child you count 3. Spouse and 1 child.

The NVC nd consulate can figure it out that its really 4 people. You dont count the children before they immigrate on each other's or the spouse because until the enter on the visa, you technically aren't liable for them yet as they're step-children.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.  - Dr. Seuss
