[@margocher99]

Спасибо большое, добрый человек! Вчера только в очередной раз голову ломала над этим пунктом )) У нас как раз дитё пока НЕ в США, и раньше вроде в форме было прямое указание в форме, что нужно считать только тех детей, которые уже живут под одной крышей или тех, кто будет иммигрировать в течение 6 месяцев, но сейчас это указание и формы исчезло. В инструкциях тоже ничего не сказано. Зато, нашла такое пояснение в комментариях к данной форме на сайте USCIS. В общем, без бутылки не разберёшься!)))

The petitioner is 80 years old and retired since June 2009. Now his only income is from SSI and he hasn’t file any tax returns since 2013 as his income threshold is below taxable income. His spouse is also having SSI benefits aged around 70. The petitioner has a step son aged 45 also having SSI due to disability and living in the same house. We have a joint sponsor for our case. In the form i 864, part 5(Sponsor’s house hold size), which item number is applicable for the step son? Please answer. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for your informative videos, have been very helpful. I have a question on number of people on item 3.3.29 when I-864 is only needed for derivative spouse for say AOS.

Hi Kseniya, Thank you for posting a very informative and detailed video. I had a quick question regarding i-864 form (Part 5 Sponsor's Household Size item 5). On my recent taxes, I have put both my parents as dependents. For Part 5, item 5, "If you have other dependents, enter the number here" should I put 2?

Thank you so much for your videos! I have some question. My wife, a us citizen is about to file i-130 but she's self-employed and her income does not meet the poverty income guideline (we are both living outside the US). So, We will have her sister-in-law who is married to her brother (so there are 2 person in her household). My questions are: -Does my wiffe still need to file i-864? eventhough her income does not meet the requirement? -And for her sister-in-law, will she be the only joint-sponsor or the only one who fills i-864 form? she makes way more than the poverty-guidline income. -She is married to my wife's brother who is her only household member. Does having her husband file i-864a help us avoid the officer asking for more evidence? we would like to speed the process asap because i have plan to do my master's degree in the US. Thank you :)

I have a question regarding the affidavit of support. I am a US citizen currently waiting for I-130 to get approved for my wife. I am a disabled veteran and I get about $2200 a month in disability compensation. So I get about $24000 in a year non taxable. My assets are worth around $960,000. I live with my parents. I see that i only need $22,887 according to federal poverty guidelines to sponsor my wife for the household size of 2. Do you think I have enough to sponsor my wife? Or should I go with household member sponsor with my parent to easily cross the income requirement? What do you think I should do since I barely cross the income threshold if I were the only sponsor?

I have a question. You said that Aunts can't be counted as Household Member. What if US Petitioner is living in his single Aunt's house with no children/not married and she is the Joint Sponsor alone and she claims Petitioner as a dependent on her taxes? Does she need to enter 1 under "4. If you have dependent children"? and would the Household Size be 2 or 3 for Joint Sponsor/Aunt, Petitioner and Petitioner's Spouse/Principal Immigrant? Thanks for any help.

[@KseniyaInternational]

So on your aunt’s affidavit of support she’ll have a household size: herself, intending immigrant, plus the petitioner under item 5 - any other dependents. Not item 4 (dependent children).

[@Surgicalsensei]

@@KseniyaInternational Thank you for the clarification! My aunt’s affidavit for Part 5 will show a Household Size of 3. (1. 2. & 5.) But for mine, on Part 5, I fill out 1 & 2 for my Wife/Principal Immigrant and Myself/Petitioner, I have no children or dependents, which shows a total Household Size of 2.

My wife and I did the K1 visa and she has already received her green card. Her child came over and we are getting prepared to send in his green card documents. AM i only using 2 for house hold size since she has already gone through this process? she also works now too.

No, you have to count your spouse regardless of their immigration status. Check I-864 forms instructions

Part 5 question 6, what if the joint sponsor already filed a I864 form for someone but it was more than ten years ago, do they still count as his household size even if its been more than ten years since they became permanent resident?

No

I live with my inlaw but they're not dependent, do I calculate them in my household size?

[@razanmn1023]

Question: if my husband (sponsor) is petitioning for me only (beneficiary) and we have one child who is already a US citizen (born in the US) - our household size is 3, correct? should i put 1 under part 5 question 4?

[@KseniyaInternational]

Yes you should still count your child so yes your household size should be 3

[@askless]

Similar question put what about if his daughter live with his ex wife we still count them cause child support is discounting from his check?

[@izzy859ha]

@@askless did you found out the answer for that? I'm at the same situation
