I-864 confusion with foreign income and household size

[kjsmith16 1]

If anyone can help me i would be really grateful!! I'm the US citizen sponsoring my husband and daughter (daughter and I dont meet the requirements for me to pass on my citizenship to her). We all currently reside in the UK. I have a few questions:

 

1. On my I-864 Affidavit of Support, do I put my UK income down in dollars? (I have filed taxes for the last 5 or so years so can submit these) or do I list this as $0?

 

2. My father will be a joint sponsor. On his I-864 form does he need to list his household size as current or the number after we move in with him? For reference this will be him, my mom, me, my husband and my daughter. She has a separate immigrant petition. 

 

Thank you in advance.

 His current household size +1 in each I-864. Why would you be in household size? Is he claiming you as a dependant? Household size is to do how he files taxes, not how many people live at his house. Roommates sharing same house are different households.

I am not a dependant and neither is my daughter. He currently just has himself and my mom on his taxes, so with being a sponsor for my husband I assume this would then be 3?

3 on husband's (your dad, your mom + husband) I-864 and 3 on daughter's (your dad, your mom + your daughter). If dad sponsored somebody in the past who is not citizen yet nor earned 40 quarters of social security, he needs to include them in household size too.

Thread is shifted from the CR-1 Case Progress subforum to the CR-1 Process forum.

That sounds right unless the daughter's IR2 qualifies (most likely does) for her to become a US Citizen upon entry.  In that case it just an I-864W.

She does qualify to become a citizen. On the CEAC website it doesn't give me an option to file I-864W for her?

Just do it.

Everywhere I have done my research suggests that this is not needed. She will become a US Citizen upon entering the US on an immigrant visa according to The Child Citizenship Act of 2000. She will reside with me, and will reside in the legal and physical custody of me, the U.S. citizen parent. 

 

So, it seems as if doing an I-864W is not needed and will be a waste of time, but do correct me if i am wrong?

If you don't do the I-864w, you'll need an I-864.  She won't get the interview without one or the other.  On the other hand, they may not accept the I-864.
