That's the form we are filling out now

Remember with assets/savings it has to be 3 times the guideline. I see 3 in your picture is this the family size? $24,412 is the amount for 3=$73236, you need in a bank that needs to be transferred over to an US Bank.

What about your husband establishing domicile? Does he live there with you? That's another hurdle you have to show also if he has to re-establish or establish domicile..

Sounds like he is a Student in the US.

It is three of us but my lawyer is doing my sons papers different so he does not need to be included in the affidavit of support and when he enters becomes a US citizen instead of a permanent resident ( because he can get citizenship through his father ). So it will only be family count of 2 my husband and myself.

My husband has been living in the US Since November 2011. And our family count is two ( my sons paperwork will be done differently since my lawyer will rule him out from needing an affidavit of support )

My Joint Sponsor ( aka my father in law ) make almost the required amount for the affidavit.

So does that mean with what ever remainder balance is need that would need to be times by 2 or 3?

"Example of How to Use Assets: If you are petitioning for a parent and the poverty line for your household size is $22,062 and your current income is $18,062, the difference between your current income and the poverty line is $4,000. In order for assets to help you qualify, the combination of your assets, plus the assets of any household member who is signing Form I-864A, plus any available assets of the sponsored immigrant, would have to equal five times this difference (5 x $4,000). In this case, you would meet the income requirements if the net value of the assets equaled at least $20,000."

The fact that your child is a USC doe not change your household size. It would still be 3 It would be you your spouse and any living child under 18 that you have not given up for adoption.

This.

I don't know if your lawyer maybe misspoke to you or you misunderstood OP, but dependents must be counted in family size, US citizens or not.

Maybe I misunderstood but he told me he did several similar cases and from what I understood, he told me he would put in another form while sending off this last package so that my son would not need to be sponsored. I guess i will have to ask him on that.

Thanks for a heads up

I am getting confused someone said the assists (savings) must be three times the difference and someone else says five times the difference?!? ?

He will not need to be sponsored, but he will need to be counted as part of the household. For example, my daughter, who is American born and my ex-husband's had to be counted as part of the household for sponsoring my husband.

The child does not need to be sponsored, perhaps that is what you are think of.

So child would be US citizen automatically (no need for sponser) but when it comes time to sponser you the child will be included as a dependent.

Ok so that means on the poverty guidelines we will go with the household of 3 ($24412) instead of a household of 2 ($19387)?

Sorry for so many questions just want to clarify
