Here is the scenario. I am a US Citizen (currently unemployed) and my wife is currently H1B. I am filing for a change to permanent resident status (I-485) for my wife. We both lived in the same residence. So I wrote 2 for question 21h in I864 household size.
I will be using both my parents as joint sponsor so my Mom will be filling out the I-864 and my Dad will be the I-864A.
Both my parents (Mom & Dad) together with my sister and grandmother live in a separate residence in another state. My grandmother was also sponsored (filed w/ I864 and I864A) by my parents. So I assume 4 persons in their household size.
My question is about my MOM (as joint sponsor) in filling out her I-864 on household size.
Here is the form:
Your Household Size - DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE
Part 5. Sponsor's household size.
Persons you are sponsoring in this affidavit:
a. Enter the number you entered on line 10. ---------------------1 (My wife)
Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:
b. Yourself. -------------------------------------------------------------------1 (Mom)
c. If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse. -------------------1 (Dad)
d. If you have dependent children, enter the number here -------------------1 (My sister)
e. If you have any other dependents, enter the number here. ---------------0
f. If you have sponsored any other persons on an I-864 or I-864 EZ---------1 (Grandma)
who are now lawful permanent residents, enter the number here.
g. OPTIONAL: If you have siblings, parents, or adult children with
the same principal residence who are combining their income
with yours by submitting Form I-864A, enter the number here.
h. Add together lines and enter the number here. Household Size: 4 or 5 ???
My question is on 21h. My wife lives with me in a different state so do they have to count my wife in their total household size?
So is it 4 or 5?
