If you are sponsoring your spouse for adjustment of status they are counted as immigrant NOT spouse.

Later on if you lets say sponsor someone else like a child or a parent, you would then count your spouse as your spouse, not as an immigrant.

Don't count your spouse twice, they are first an immigrant.

He is still responsible for any immigrant that he sponsored even if they do not live under the same roof. Only when the immigrant naturalizes and becomes a US citizen can he stop counting them.
