Yes i made a digital and hard copy of the 2 year green card. Both color copies. I still don't understand how USCIS can get it wrong and won't follow their manual. I called USCIS 2 times and spoke to a level 2 officer before paying for the green card and before the Green Card showed as  produced and i though for a moment that perhaps we will be getting the right green card but not, 2 year GC was sent out to us :(

As others members said, the question is clear as crystal water. If you read the instructions for each form you will not be confusing at all. If you the US Citizen is petitioning for your parents or any other family member here in the United States or outside the United States, they are subject to the public charge, period. Why? Because they will be getting a green card and they are not US Citizens yet. Only US Citizens and other type of applicants such as vawa or asylee are not subject to the public charge.
 
Will your mother have US Citizenship with this application? No
 
Is your mother adjusting status through asylee or vawa? No. 
 
So that means she is subject to the public charge. 
 
Does it means that she will need public charge? No necessary, especially if you the us citizen or the sponsor (if you happen to have an sponsor) meet the income requirement. 
 
Only some petitions or applicants are not subject to the public charge, such as vawa and asylees applicants.
 
Read the question carefully, the questions is simply asking whether your petition falls under the public charge category or not, in this case it does since is a family based petition, is not asking you if the applicant will be a public charge or if the applicant will need welfare because if you or your family meet the necessary income than there is no public charge or walfare need here. 
 
The correct answer here would be Yes for 61 and then answer the rest for the household members and income requirements. 👋

Part 3, Family member 1 and 2 should be empty.
 
Family 2: Your step child should have her or his own i864 form. No need to include it in this part of the form. Your step child is not a derivate from your wife's immigrant visa application. 
(apply the same rule and logic for your step child i864 form). 
 
Family 1: Your wife is already included in Part 2, so no need to include it again in part 3. 

Part 3, Family member 1 and 2 should be empty.

Family 1: Your wife is already included in Part 2, so no need to include it again in part 3. 

The petition you filed for your wife is a i130 petition (immediate relativd petition or category ), meaning that no derivate beneficiaries are available for this type of petition.
 
In simple words, your step child is not a derivate beneficiary, the embassy in Bolivia wants a separate i864 form for your step child.
 
Also, did you filed a separate i130 form for your step child as well? Your step child needs her or his needs own immigrant visa application.
 
Part 3, question 2 should be empty since you need to file a separate petition and a separate i864 (financial form) for your step child. 

Even if you believe your husband does not have a copy of his citizenship, perhaps he does. Keep looking, maybe there is a digital copy.
 
This happened to me before, I was pretty sure I did not have any copies of my citizenship and after looking carefully I found one but to my surprise at the end I was never asked for proof of citizenship, officer had everything already in the system, so Iesson learned, don't stress too much for things that are perhaps more simple than you think. 
 
Current US Passport is a solid proof of US citizenship and should be enough if asked for, even the passport card is proof of citizenship, although for unknown reason (maybe somebody can instruct me here) there are certain situation where an officer requires to see the actual citizenship certificate, especially when you are a naturalized citizen. Good luck 👋

I would like to thank again all of you who responded to my thread here, all responses were carefully taken into consideration and helped me prepare for this immigration journey. 
 
My wife had her consulate interview abroad several weeks ago and no questions were asked about what was worrying me the most here, the public charge.
 
She is finally here in the United States with my US Citizen Child. 
 
The officer at the interview was straight forward and was focusing more on the bona fide marriage and making sure all the paperwork was filled correctly.
 
My advice to those in a similar situation is to make sure to fill out the right paper work, have enough proof for your bona fide marriage and don't be afraid to file a petition for your spouse or other family member even if you believe you won't income qualify, that is what the co sponsor is for. 
 
Also, upon entry the United States, my wife was stamp under CR1 category even though I instead the CBP officer to stamp IR1 instead since my wife arrived weeks later after our 2 year anniversary (marriage) but the officer refused and I did not want to push it. 
 
My wife immigrant visa was printed as CR1 because her immigrant visa interview was scheduled couple days before our 2 year marriage. 
 
I was doing my research and I see that I can easily correct this by filling i90 after we get the Green Card with the wrong classified category, but I would like to fix this ahead of time before paying for the Green Card to be mail with the wrong category. 
 
What do you guys recommend? Should I wait for the GC to arrive and see if is CR1 or IR1? I believe is going to be CR1 even though others recommend to wait and see what USCIS mails.
 
Can I fix this at my local Deferred inspection site? I tried making an info pass appointment but the site won't let me, I tried calling USCIS but the wait time is too long.
 
Any advice? I don't want to deal with a a removal condition status just because a CBP officer is not well prepared for their task, she even said that a CR1 is a better green card then IR1. 😏

Thank you so much, an administrative correctiom of the original birth certificate could be the best and right path to go unless it takes a long time. Otherwise I will take the risk and just submit a higher resolution scan document with a letter explaining the situation hopefully they will take. 
 
Other question. I also received the following message from NVC:
 
3: No document requested by NVC but just a quick inbox message by NVC:
The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate.
 
-- What do they mean by this? When my wife filled out her DS-260 application, when asked for child, she entered our kid's info but there was a question asking if the child is also immigrating to the US and she answered yes because child is currently living with mom in Peru but our kid is a US Citizen, our kid obtained US Citizenship through CRBA in Lima Peru.
 
Should I upload a copy of our kid CRBA certificate just in case as an additional document? or this is irrelevant?
