Now Pri has her Mom and Sis who stay with her but are not dependent on her so still i shld be putting there as 3

If they r not dependent on her, she doesnt have to include them in the household size. Our co sponsor is single, never been married and he still leaves with his parents, but they dont depend on them. same with my husband: when we did the documents we wereliving at his parents but nobody depended on him, otherwise his houseld size would have been.....6! We did an infopass and the officer said: if they dont depend on u, dont include them. Same with the co sponsor. Sfter 2 days we called immigration gaian just2 be sure we had got the right info and they told us not to include them as well. So....I guess she doesnt have to include them.

Good Luck, that document is the worst nightmare lol

maria had one experience, which has not had a result yet (no interview).

The form is very clear about who is to be counted in a household and who is not; I usually say 'go with the instructions'.

Income of household members can be included in the total income (if they agree and pri's income is insufficient for the extra bodies).

Hmmmmm....

My 864 got kicked back to me b/c of this issue, which is still so murky to many people.

I did not include my sister who lives in the same house. She lives on the lower level in of my house She also happens to be our co-sponsor.

I did not include her because she and I are not dependant on each other, but because our addresses are the same, I was told I MUST include her in the household.

Yes, I agree. This form is indeed a nightmare !

In short you must include every single person living under the same roof regardless if they are dependent on the sponsor or not. We had to include my in-laws in this as well.

Al,

Read the form, read the instructions. One category of Household Member is clearly defined, over and over, as 'persons who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption who live in your residence'. Do you see anything that says, "unless ...." or "except ....."?

Collie,

No, not every single person. Only persons who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption.

Maria,

What you were told is incorrect. If it should ever become an issue your joint sponsor may be subject to penalty for making a material misrepresentation, and note that the USCIS giving the misinformation will be no defense.
