The paralegal needs to read the part of the I-864 instructions that tells you to count all unmarried children under 21, no matter where they live.  But, you can read it yourself and inform them.

That's exactly what I read but it does say unless they've reached majority in the area where they live but they insist that it doesn't matter unless you claim them as dependents on your income tax returns this is one of many reasons why I doubt the Attorney's abilities it's a very well known law firm they've got lots of cases approved but this is one of two major mistakes they've made the first mistake was the police clearance certificate they said my spouse needs one from anywhere she's lived since the age of 16 I fully understand this but according to them that means ant city any Barangay this cause me to send my wife on a 3 day trip all over the Philippines to get these certificates but some Barangays told her she has to have a valid current address in that particular area to receive the police clearance I already knew of the NBI but they insisted and even sent me an email saying she needs a police clearance from anywhere she's lived even if different cities or Barangays in her own country .
