I-864 Question to Fathers with children

[David97230 0]

Hello,

This question is directed to fathers whom are remairied (oviously) and have children from there first marriage.

This is pertaining to the I-864 Affidavit Of Support question on page 3, part 5, section 21-D.

It reads Question 21 = ‘Your household size’

Question D = ‘If you have dependent children, enter the number here.’

Now my question is:

Since this is for support reasons ($$.$$) and I do pay my child support, however I do not get to count them on my Tax returns… So does that still make them a ‘dependent’? Seeing that there not counted on my tax return as a household dependent? Do I count them now on this I-864 as a dependent?

I’ve tried calling the NVC to ask them, but I can never get to a live person.

Thanks

David

I only counted the dependants as to my tax returns...
