I had my visa (IR1) interview on Monday (March 14, 2022). My wife (USC petitioner) lives in Canada with me. She doesn't have any income so we opted in to qualify for the Affidavit of Support (I-864) based on assets alone (we showed more than enough assets).

However, They CO refused my visa under section 221(g) - Proof of US income or assets in the US to meet the Affidavit of Support requirements - or - Joint Sponsor (I-864, recent taxes, and proof of status). He stressed enough that the assets need to be in the USA to qualify. 

The CO asked me to get a joint sponsor. I am working to a joint sponsor.  looking at the I-864 form for the joint sponsor option. I need clarification on the FORM I-864 for the joint sponsor : 

Part 5:

Item Number 6. If you have sponsored any other persons on Form I-864 or Form I-864EZ who are lawful permanent residents. enter the number here: 

The join sponsor has sponsored other family members whose visa application is still under processing. Do I need to include the number of other family members at Item 6 or not. As I read the instruction which clearly stated to include only lawful permanent residents.

Any help is appreciated.
