my husband is doing the affidavit of support now and my husband has two other children who doesn't live with him..he did his taxes for all recent three years and has enough to meet the 125% for a house hold of 3 but if we include his other children we won't meet it... what should we do?

Assuming the kids are minors, yes, he needs to list them.

Does he have any assets (savings,401k, second home etc) he can list to make up the difference?
