confusion over "accompanying dependants"

[Rod James 0]

Question 24e in form I-864 (affidavit of support) states that the person listed (me, the immigrant) does not need to complete Form I-864 because he/she is the intending immigrant and has no accompanying dependents. This question confuses me because we do have 4 children accompanying us who are dependents of ours but since they already have US citizenship status (filed birth abroad) am I correct in assuming that they don't count as accompanying dependents in this case?

Hi,

As I mentioned before, i'm not 100% sure about the answer to this, but i'm sure someone who has taken children with them must know.

My guess would be that you do not include them, as they are U.S. citizens - but that's just my take on it. Hopefully someone who has taken children that are citizens can answer this one

Thanks Trailmix, I posted this question separately here in hopes that someone else who has some idea might notice it and respond. \

Cheers, Rod.

Yeah and I responded to bump it up in the list hoping someone might notice it and respond
