I am completing the I-864 and bit of confused filling out part 5 (Sponsor's household size). Any clarification is much appreciated.

It says - DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE yet asking

Persons you are sponsoring in this affidavit:

a. Enter the number you entered on line 10.

and again

c. If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse.

Should i leave the c. blank ? Since i am married and sponsoring my spouse both applies to me...correct?

Yes, you're right, you leave c blank since you already included your spouse. It's a confusing question and hopefully the form gets fixed at some point to get rid of this confusion.

:thumbs: I wouldn't hold a breath for anything with "government" getting fixed :rofl:

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

It's actually pretty clear when you look at the form closely because b-g are under the heading: "Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit". It's just really easy to overlook and counter-intuitive because we "marrieds" feel weird not counting our spouse there. :)
