Question about form i-864

[gradtaai 8]

I have been married 5 years and file my 1040s jointly with my wife (itin number). She is unemployed. Where I am confused is that the section "Income you are using from any other person who is counted in your household size". I am not using her "income" and is claiming it as my own income on the i-864, but will be using her assets to meet the financial requirement. In the assets section it says she does not need to do a i-864a. I think I have to add her to that "Income you are using from any other person who is counted in your household size" and put "0" for the amount of income, and do a i-864a for her. Does that sound right?

Who is immigrating? Your wife?

Yes, Sorry, I should have been more clear.

As she is the intending immigrant, she doesn't need to file I-864A to include her income and/or assets. I don't think it's necessary to include her name in the people you are using income from if it's going to be 0. But just fill out the "Assets of the principal sponsored immigrant" in the Assets part.

Thank you, I was hoping that was the case since the i-864a is very repetitious of information that has already been included.
