Will wife and child need to accomplish I-864A even if leaving outside US?

[Hopepost 15]

Here's the situation:

 

Petitioner is my father. He lives alone.

In 2018, his income did not meet the Poverty Guidelines when we submitted docs to NVC 

Now 2022, his 2021 income meets the Poverty Guidelines since he started to work again.

 

In 2018, since Petitioner did not meet the Poverty Guidelines, my brother agreed to be my Joint Sponsor. He lives separately from the Petitioner. 

He jointly files his tax with his wife and their child declared as dependent.

However, his US Citizen wife and son are not leaving in the US and they reside in the Philippines since his son is studying in the university.

His wife and son do not have any income.

 

In the I-864, in Part 5: Sponsor's household size as 4  which includes me as the intending immigrant.

 

QUESTION:

1] Does my brother need to ask his wife and his 20 year old son to submit I-864A separately (one signed by his wife and another by his son)?

2] If they filed their income jointly, what should be declared as current individual income in Part 3: item 7 by his wife and son?

3] If during the interview, if asked who lives with my brother? Should I say he lives alone or he lives with his wife and son though they are residing in the Phils but they were declared as part of household size?

 

Thank you very much and appreciate your answers.

If his current income is much higher than the poverty guidelines, no need of the joint sponsor.

Okay so do I still need to request that I don't need a Joint Sponsor anymore?

Or do nothing about it.

My case has been DQd since 2020.

Will be having my interview next month.
