I-864 | K1 | AOS

[INRIsaves 1]

My fiancee, soon to be wife, and I are filling out the paper work for her AOS. She came over on a K1 and we are about to be married but want to fill out all of the paper work so it is ready to be shipped after the wedding. I am the one sponsoring her and had a question about the I-864.

For Part 3 Number 10 I put 01 because I am only sponsoring her.

For Part 5 line (a) I put 01 since that is the number that I entered in Number 10 on Part 3.

For Part 5 line ©, this is where my question is. When we file the form we will be married so I would need to put 01 here as well, correct?

What further confuses me is in Part 5 line (h) where is states to 'Add together lines and enter house hold size'. If I follow the instructions I will get a total of 3 for line (h). It counts me as one and fiancee[wife at the time this will be submitted] twice, once for the spouse and once for the one I am petitioning for. At the time of the filing of the form we will be married making her my spouse as well as the one I am sponsoring in Part 3 Number 10, giving a total of 3 for line (h) when in fact there is only 2 of us.

Does this make sense? Can some one please offer some insight into how to complete the form? Thanks for any and all help.

The instructions say don't count anyone twice. In this case, count yourself as sponsor, she is immigrant, zero spouse

If you were sponsoring your grandma, then you would be sponsor, grandma would be immigrant, and your wife would be spouse. Form is written for many sponsorship scenarios.
