Cosponsor for k-1 visa

[flipper 0]

Hello all,

My Fiancee and I have someone to be a co sponsor for us, but we have a few questions.

1-My Fiancee has 5 kids, she has joint custody of all 5 asfar as decision making, her ex has primary physical custody of the oldest and she has primary physical custody of the other 4. So for the I-134 would we be considered a family of 6 or a family of 7?

2-As I understand my Fiancee is the primary sponsor and the co-sponsor is there to make up the lack of income that we need to meet the 125% above the poverty line. So when our Co-sponsor fills out their I-134 do they need to include me (the beneficiary) to their household size or do they just use their family.

*Edit*

#-Do our cosponsors need to meet the poverty line for their household also, or are they just there make up for the lack of income on my Fiancee's I-134?

Sorry if this is jumbled it's been a rough day.

Thanks

Adam.

Co-sponsor has to meet the 125% for their house PLUS the immigrant.

Your a family of 7.

There is no combining of incomes with the I-134. The sponsor (primary or co/joint) must have enough income (income/assets) to cover their household plus the intending immigrant. Regardless of income the petitioner will submit an I-134.
