Hey everyone,
My wife and I received packet 3 and are in the process of getting everything together. We aren't able to log in to the DS-260 but we have been told by the consulate site that it is a system error and to just keep moving forward.
The next step in this never ending trek is the I-864. I have a pretty standard situation: I've been living in Korea for 5 years. I filed taxes but all of my income has been made here in Korea so I guess it doesn't count for much. I left my job about a month ago so my regular income is finished.
My parents are my cosponsors (father- I-864, mother- I864A). My wife and I will be living with them until we can afford to live on our own or we start sleeping in a tent in the woods... whichever.

QUESTIONS:
1. Would I enter "My current annual income" as $0.00? I assume yes.
2. This is what is currently throwing me off. The next section is about "Income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size." My inclination is to just mark this all as zero. However, since we will be moving in with my parents and I am proving domicile at my parents' house, am I supposed to list their incomes here?

Thanks in advance.

I entered the amount I earned in Korea, since the directions implied both that it's your salary/income and your gross taxable income. The people in the Seoul Embassy accepted it (marked that portion of the tax return) and we got approved. I didn't use a cosponsor; only used the salary made in Korea. Right now, I'm simply waiting for our flight. So, it might be that they accept it.

Though afaik your cosponsor parents are not really part of your "household" in spite of you living in the same house.

And I mean they may accept your salary from Korea for immigration. They did for me recently but ymmv.

Your income made in another country will only count if it continues in the USA. The OP is now unemployed and should enter their income as $0.00.

No OP you do not count your parents in your household count.
