ok, as i was informed as i have done.. if you have child support on your divorce decree or agreement then you must include that child as a member of your houseshold.. even though the child is not living with you or you do not claim the child on your taxes.. i hope this helps God bless

"New rule

USCIS has eliminated the old definition of "household size" and replaced it with one that provides more flexibility and clarity. The sponsor must now include, in addition to him/herself, only the following persons, regardless of where they reside: the sponsor's spouse; the sponsor's children under the age of 21, provided they are not emancipated; the intending immigrant; all derivatives of the intending immigrant who are obtaining LPR status at the same time or within six months; all dependents claimed on the sponsor's most recent tax return; and all noncitizens on whose behalf the sponsor has previously filed an I‑864."

Is that what you were after?

Maybe my English understanding is not that good but after readng this its helping but confusing me just a little bit.

If we file our taxes for 2006 without claiming the child will she be counted as part of the house hold or not? or would she still be counted as part of the household anyway because its his daughter and she is under 21?

Thank you again for your patience n help.

my understanding of the rule is yes , you do need to count the child. the child would be considered " partially dependant on you "
