form i-864 part 5?

[sarah&rob 1]

I'm currently filling out the affidavit of support and am on Part 5, where you enter the number of people in your household and whatnot.

I put in '1' for the person I am sponsoring, '1' for myself, but then it says "If you are currently married, enter '1' for your spouse".

I am currently married, but he is the person I am sponsoring so what should I put there?

I looked at the example form and it has '0' in that place, but isn't it contradictory?

What is the proper way to do it?

oi...also, on question 24 - the example form has 'NONE' listed in letter b, but then has the box checked in letter e saying the person listed above [insert name] does not need to fill out an i-864A because he is the intending immigrant but has no dependent children etc.

I was under the assumption that letter e only needed to be filled in if I would be using my husband's income to aid in making the 125% above poverty level. I am not using his income as he has none at the moment and I on my own make enough to cover it. So to my understanding I should still put NONE in part b and leave the boxes for d and e unchecked?

That's what I have in my I-864. We are two people (hubby annd me) We have no children but we had a joint-sponsor who filed the I-864 also.

part 5

question 21.

a.) [01]

b.) [1]

c.) [0]

d.) [00]

e.) [00]

f.) [00]

h.) [02]

We were already married but that's what a lawyer told us. Obviously it was right since we got approved.

Question 24.

a.) gross income

b.) (mine is empty)

c.) gross income (equals the number in a )

d.) and e) are empty.

I hope that helps you!

I'm in trouble now....i just mailed my AOS package today and when I've read this post about question 24 (e)..my wife wrote my name there,...oh my...we thought that we need to write my name on that question...she's not using my income because i'm intending immigrant. Do you think i'm in trouble? I just copied the example that someone's filled in visa journey example forms for I-864.

Trouble? probably not - it may cause confusion however. Wait and see. (FYI - an intending immigrant can - in some cases - include his/her income in that portion.)

Thank you! That's how I did Question 24 and I will follow the example for the other one as well.

Yeah that is the example I was following as well. Hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. It would be nice if on those example pdf forms there could be notes with it as well to explain bits where it could be confusing (such as 24e - only fill this out if you're including the intending immigrant's income)

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Always read ALL the instructions carefully. Note the instruction that specifically tells you not to list anybody twice. If you do, they'll send it back to you to do again correctly.

You mean..they will send the whole AOS application including the form I-130? or just the affidavit of support only...?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I have a question about the same thing.

My wife, the petitioner, moved back in with her parents to save cash while we go through this process. Her mother is going to be a joint sponsor and so we are filling an I-864 for the petitioner and an I-864A for the joint sponsor as we all live under the same roof. We also have our Grandmother-in-law living in the same house, so with me, the immigrant, included, the total household size is 5.

So I am putting the following, please can anyone confirm that I am correct.

21a. 01 - immigrant

21b. 01 - petitioner

21c. 00 - although married, I assume 0 is correct.

21d. 00 - no kids, no siblings under 21.

21e. 02 - Father-in-law and Grandmother-in-law.

21f. 00

21g. 01 - Mother-in-law is co-sponsor

21h. 05 - total household size

Many thanks for your time.

Sorry for the double post, I can't edit the above post. A further question is that because the father-in-law and grandmother-in-law has enough income to sustain themselves, they don't consider themselves "dependant" on the co-sponsor or the petitioner, so does that make a difference? I wouldn't think so, but I need to satisfy their worries.

Can someone help me something similar happened to me but I'm applying for my Husband I put 1 for myself and should I put one for him even though he is not here in the country? Please I'm really confused?

I filled 2 I-864 forms. 1 for my wife and 1 for my stepdaughter. I got a checklist from NVC stating that the documentation is improper. Cr-1 visas do not allow for dependants on the same form. the checklist made me realize that I should have filled as follow.

For my wife I should have filled:

1 for person I am sponsoring,

1 for my self and

2 for my children here.

total of 4

for my stepdaughter I should have filled: 1 for person I am sponsoring

1 for myself

1 for my wife?

2 for my children here.

total of 5.

will this be correct?

[andres&lina 3]

Here is the checklist

It seems that as many people as have replied here, the original question is still unanswered. 

 

Part 5, Question 1 says: person you are sponsoring in this affidavit = 1 (my wife)

Part 5, Question 2 says: Yourself = 1 (me) 

Part 5, Question 3 says: If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse = 1 (I married my fiancee on the K1 visa). 

 

Somehow we end up with household size of 3 although I am not supposed to count anyone more than once, so which do I omit?? The verbiage is very confusing. Thanks.
