Affadavit of Support

[S and S 12]

I am working on the affadavit of support right now and I am confused about one part. It is for sponsor's household size. I have only myself here now and I will be sponsoring my husband. It says on line 21a how many people I am sponsoring. I put in the first block "1" for my husband. I left the second block empty since I am not sponsoring anyone else. Then for 21b I put "1" for myself. Then it says put "1" if you are married, but this means I am counting my husband twice. I added it all up in the bottom for the blocks. There are two rows. The first row I have a "1" for total number sponsoring, but then I have a "2" in the second block for adding me and my husband. Is this right? I am so confused.

Yes I remember that part being confusing.

Your household size will be you & your husband, so 2. But yes you are only sponsoring one person.

I remember one section about write a 1 if you're married and then 1 for how many people you are sponsoring and then yourself--or something confusing and it ending up being more than what it really was. I made sure that everytime it only added up to me and my husband. And that was accepted, no RFEs.

My answer is probably just as confusing...sorry.

Also, I see that it's been 333 days since you saw your husband. I feel for you. I hope you'll see your husband very soon.

lol, I think that section is just confusing! I don't know why they couldn't make it a little easier to understand.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm bumping this in the hopes someone will answer that can know for sure what to put. Please help if you can.

#######, my wife just filed our papers and I just assumed since you don't count anyone twice that you leave the spouse section as zero. So it says 2 at the top and we put zero for the spouse. I hope that doesn't cause any confusion with our application. I really wish they would have clarified that or at least allowed you to add it up on your own.

Yes, that is right. You are sponsoring one and your household size is 2. You will need to meet the income requirements for a household of 2.

Good luck

Thankyou so much. I was really worried about what is the best way to do it. I hope this will help others in the future.

Yeah...it's a pretty goofy form...but there's an instruction that states "Do not count any person twice" somewhere on the form.

Anybody could miss that little instruction. Better to be safe than sorry.

Good luck...and it's about time you two got together
