Ok.

(sigh) I am one. (no kids).

Husband is one.

I know I don't count him twice, but as he is showing up, he will be "in the household".

1+1+1 =/= 2.

But is that how I fill it in? We're already legally married (eloped, stuck doing things backwards, DON'T DO THAT :) )

I know there's someone who knows this because I saw in their tag "Knows not to count anyone twice on the I-864) but.. i don't remember who :)

Thanks folks :)

If you are sponsoring your spouse they are counted in line 21a.

If you are not sponsoring your spouse they are counted on line 21c.

The same person cannot be counted in both 21a & 21c.

Aaah! It was you whose name I saw! :)

So when it says "if you are married put a 1" ..just don't, they'll get that part when they see the rest of the paperwork and put their own 1 and 1 together. (as I am not a polyandrist :D )

Thanks :D

Correct. Lines 21b - 21g are for listing persons NOT being sponsored on the affidavit. If your spouse is the person being sponsored, they are not counted on 21c.

That big, bold type in Part 5 says it all. wink.gif

I just keep looking for the trick questions these days I think ;) Thanks again.
