About the household size/family size which is used to knw to amount required to be in a sponsors bank account ,in the case of joint sponsorship/cosponsorship will the house hold size be applied to only my fiance or it will be applied to all my cosponsores????

The sponsor and co- sponsor must EACH fill their own I-134, which means they each have their own household sizes. Remember that each of them needs to count you (the intended immigrant) as a +1 for the household size

Then that's going to affect the income cause almost everyone have over 5000 has a family they supporting therefore won't it affect the number of cosponsores?????

I'm sorry, I don't understand exactly what you mean. Can you please clarify? Just in case, some explanations:

Your sponsor's household size will be: sponsor+you+ any other person who DEPENDS on him/her (children, for example). His income must be enough for HIS/HER own household size.

Who will be your co-sponsor? It has to be 1 person, not a whole "family".

The household size of your co-sponsor will be: co-sponsor+you+any other person who DEPENDS on him/her. Only the income of the co-sponsor counts for his/her household size.

An example, in case it helps with your case:

• my sponsor (the fiance) household size is 2: him +me
• my co-sponsor was the father of my fiance. He lives with his wife and one of his sons. But his household size was 3: Him+wife+me. The son who lives with him makes his own money so he wasn't dependant and my fiance makes his own money too, so the income only goes to take care for the 3 people I mentioned.

Wat I was talking about was that my fiance and her mom has joint account and the income isn't enough so we going for cosponsoreship.....

So will it be my fiance + her mom + me on one form

Then cosponsores will be ...cosponsores + me+ family size on a different form

So the sum total/size of both parties together will determine the income needed?????
