Adult children and fired co-sponsor

[Mel&Lal 12]

Ok here is the situation. Case was complete on April 30,2015. A week before the cc my co sponsor and her husband both where fired. We are still waiting for interview to be scheduled at New Delhi embassy ( which given me time to look for new co sponsor with no luck). But since all this has happened 2 of my adult children have moved back in with me and are now working, and I have 1 adult child that's in the army. Not sure if I should fill out a new I864 with household of 7 (but I don't really support my 3 older children. They are just living with me for the time being) and add their income to mine since I fall short $2000 to sponsor alone. I am feeling lost and confused on what I should do.

Firstly, what is your household size on your income taxes? Your household size depends on what you claim that way

My household size on my taxes is 2.

So you only need to claim that 2 plus who you're sponsoring. Not 7

Ok, so since I can't find a new co sponsor and my child wants to add his income to mine so I can make the poverty requirements. Will he just fill out the a form and I can bring it to the interview?

Your kid can either add his income to yours with an I-864a, but if he can qualify on their own (a military member only has to make 100% not 125% for example) then he would just do an I-864 and yes you bring it to interview.

Thanks so much!!!!

I suggest the I864 otherwise you have to increase your household size and prove family relationship and co-habitation.

The 100% for the military member is for being a primary(petitioner) sponsor. As a joint sponsor they would likely have to meet the 125% mark.

You're right. I reread the instructions and it is 125% as a joint sponsor or sponsoring anyone beyond a spouse or child.

Still her adult child would only count 2 on the household size if they are a single adult without children or dependents.
