Hello all;

I'm new to this forum (of course). I am the US citizen petitioner living in Thailand with my husband and our baby. We have an approved I-130 and now I'm filing the AOS (affidavit of support) in Bangkok. I work on the internet and fortunately can show some income, but it's below the 125% income requirements. As is we planned on living with my parents in Las Vegas until we got off our feet so I asked and mom and dad agreed to be joint sponsors. But what does this make our household size? Am I filing a I864 with a household size of three (me husband and baby) and mom filing an 864 with a household size of 2 (mom and dad) or are we both saying our household size is 5 (all of us together) ? I am confused...

Welcome to VJ. You should ask this question here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/110-ir-1-cr-1-spouse-visa-process-procedures/

I'll see if I can get a mod to move it.

Thank you all for the responses! And for moving the thread. I've been browsing the forum for a little while but am still confused on the household size matter...USCIS Bangkok told me I'd need two 864As (one each for mom and dad) and two 864s (one for me and one for my parents I guess). I asked them about what the household size is (3 on one, 2 on the other, or 5 on both) and they haven't responded yet. I've told my mom to just mail me back the forms with signatures and some spaces left blank until I figure it out...and pray that the Thai post doesn't lose it! I've always been a learn by doing type...greetings all...
