Household Size for I-864

[padoo289 0]

Sorry to make a new thread just for this, but I can't quite figure out what my household size is. I (petitioner) has no income, so my father is the joint sponsor. We're both filing out I-864s.

My family

a.Father

b.Mother

c.Grandmother

d.Me

e.My Wife

f.Sister

a to d are living under the same roof.

e will be living with us when she comes to US.

f is living in a different place, but she is a dependent of my father according to his tax document.

c is not a dependent of my father according to his tax info.

In this case, my household size is 2 (me and my wife) and my father's household size is 5(dad, mom, me, my wife, my sister)?

I feel like I'm thinking too much and making things more complicated than it is. Please help!

Does your father claim you as a dependant on his tax returns? If not and you are over 21, then you don't count in the household size. It's not about where you LIVE it's about dependency.

Your fathers of course includes his wife, his kids under 21 (no matter where they live), anyone claimed on his tax returns and the immigrant/s. Based on your post I would say 4.

My father claims mother, my sister (over 21), and me (over 21) as dependents.

You have the household sizes correct. However, be sure to correctly enter the numbers in the right boxes. For your own I-864, you will not put a 1 in the spouse box because your spouse has already been counted as the intending immigrant.
