Affidavit of Support- Who is included?

[ChristymH 0]

Hello all!

I have just two questions regarding the sponsor for the affidavit of support. And my apologies if someone has already answered a question similar to this.

We want to make sure our sponsor is IN FACT eligible to be our sponsor, but when looking at the Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support, we are not sure who all to include for "total members in household"

There are two people total, including the sponsor, but are we also suppose to include the "immigrant" (my soon to be husband) into the total members in the household? We are just thrown off because they never list a 1 under total members in the household, they always begin with a 2.

My other question is, when they take into account our sponsors income, will they also look at her mothers income? Even though our sponsor and her mother are not dependent on each other as they both receive their own income and take care of their own finances.

I hope I am being clear with my questions. (I also attached the Poverty Guidelines I am referring to)

Any clarification anyone could offer is greatly appreciated as always!

The sponsor's individual income needs to be enough to cover their household count (including all minor children no matter where they live), anyone they claim a dependent on US federal taxes, any person that they have sponsored and that affidavit of sponsorship is still in force, plus the intending immigrant.
