I-864 and K2 questions

[VisaJourneyDude 0]

Question #1:

I have a K1 and K2 in regards to I-864 Form. Am I suppose to fill out a seperate I-864 form for K2 or do I list her on Part 3 Item #2?

Question #2:

In Part 5 it ask for "HOUSEHOLD" size. To me household means people that live with me. I have two other children that don't live with me but I pay child support for. Do I include them in item #4?

Thank you in Advance!!!

1.) "I-864 - Affidavit of Support: K-2's don't require their own separate I-864 with supporting documents (tax returns, etc). Make sure they are listed in section 9 of the K-1's I-864, and provide a photocopy of the K-1's I-864 with the K2's paperwork. You don't need to include copies of the supporting documents with the K-2's paperwork. You won't get an RFE if you do happen to provide a separate I-864 with supporting docs for the K-2. It's just not required." > http://www.visajourney.com/content/k2-visa-adjustment-of-status-tips

2.) Household size is not determined by who lives with who.

The I-864 instructions explain it best : Page 8, #3 > http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

How Do I Count Household Size?

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ affidavit of support whom you are still obligated to support.

UPDATE: for K2 you need to fill out completed NEW I-864 dated 7/31/2017

I followed your directions and they did not accept the K-1's I-864...got rfe.. The form changed in Aug when I sent in the paperwork and the government must have got confused with themselves (expected) and even though they state on their own website they will accept the old version until 10/6/2015 - it's a lie, they sent the rfe anyway and state in the rfe the 7/31/2017 needs to be filled out.. I love the USA but hate our bureaucratic hypocritical red-tape government, nobody there seems to have a brain - they are all robots.

When you were rfe'd for the K-2 AOS application did you need to fill out the new 864 with your fiance as the principle immigrant or the child as the principle immigrant?
