Household size of joint sponsor

[cusco10 1]

My sister is my joint sponsor and I would like to know if in her I-1864 household size I need to add myself too? In my I-864 I put I havent worked in 3 years or done my tax returns so should I add me too since im immigrating as the same time as the intending immigrant which is my husband.

Also my sister is married but her husband lives out of US so should I add him too?

Thank you

She needs to add her husband to her household size. Assuming that you are a USC and you won't live in her household whe you move to the US, she doesn't add you to her household size, only the intending immigrant, your husband.

So assuming she has no children or other dependants, her household size would be 3: herself, her husband and your husband.

hi

no, you aren't part of her household size unless she claims you on her taxes as a dependent and you live with her

if not then no, you have your household size which is 2, you and your husband, and she has a household size of 3 if there are no children

herself, her husband, and your husband

My joint sponsor is going to write a letter for my AOS package saying we are going to stay with her until me and my husband get an apartments which will only take a few days but I cant yet prove that.

In this case should I be added under household size?

hi

no, you are not her dependents, just because you will be living in the same house, doesn't mean you are part of her household

the size is 3 for your sister

you don't need to write a letter

No. Unless she'll file her taxes and claim you as a dependent.

The letter is because I dont have any proof that I maintained my main domicile in the US since I came to Taiwan when I was just 18 and didnt have much in the US before I came to be with my husband so I am sending other evidence to prove that I intent in good faith to return when my husband gets his visa.

Thanks for the info
