Household Size Confusion (I-864)

[Just!cE 0]

I am preparing an I-864 Affidavit of Support for my wife that is in Colombia.

For line 21. A. I am to enter the number entered on line 10 = 1

B. Myself = 1

C. I am married so I place 1 for my spouse= 1

Household Size is 3

I'm confused here because line 10 is the number of immigrants I am sponsoring. The problem is My "spouse" IS the immigrant and the form is counting them as seperate people. My household size should only be 2.

What am I doing wrong here? Can someone please guide me?

Your spouse is first an immigrant and is counted as immigrant only. Later if you were to lets say, sponsor your spouse's parent, after your spouse become a citizen, or if your spouse has a child that may immigrate in a year or so, then your spouse would be counted as a spouse.

DO NOT COUNT SOMEONE TWICE.

So to make sure I understood you correctly. I should count her as an immigrant and not my spouse even though we ARE married?

I appreciate your help.
