I-864 for AOS part 5

[Evangeline_m 2]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm new to this website and was hoping I could get some help. I'm currently filing the I-864 for my Wife's Adjustment of Status after the K1 visa.I got stuck on part 5 question7 and 8 about household size. In my situation I am living with my parents for the time being, I have added another I-864A for my father to be a co-sponsor. The previous questions ask about dependents that live in the house, But what if you don't have any other dependents but still have siblings that live in the same house but are not acting as sponsors, should you still include them in the final household size? For example in my household it is (Me <Main Sponsor>, Wife <intending immigrant> , Father <co-sponsor>, Mother <non-dependent>, Brother <non-dependent>), Would my household size be 5 even though I do not include my mother and brother in question 7? I'm sorry if this is a little confusing

Whoa. Looks like 4 to me.

You

Wife

Dad

Mom

 

Not sure where you get 7.

Unless your dad is financially responsible for more ppl than your mother...

Who makes 7 though?

[K1visaHopeful 2,662]

Who are you financially responsible for?

Who is your dad financially responsible for?

He said five, in question 7. Fifth referring to the brother.

Your household size would be 3. You, your spouse, and your father. You would put a 1 in Item #7 for your father.

 

I-864 Instructions for Part 5: (bold and underlined by myself)

Item Number 7. This question gives you the option of including certain other non-dependent relatives who are living
in your residence as part of your household size. Such relatives may include your mother, father, sister, brother or adult
children, if they are living in your residence. However, the only reason to include these relatives in your household size
is if you need to include their income when you calculate your household income for purposes of meeting the income
requirement for this affidavit. To be considered, any relative included in this category must sign and submit Form I-864A,
Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member.

 

Your mother and brother are not your dependents, and you are not using their income to meet the requirements. Therefore, you should not include them on your I-864.

 

Your father may need to include your mother and brother on his I-894.
