I-184 clarification on Part 5 entries

[MXcompadre 75]

Greetings to all of my VJ family members!

In my completing the I-184, I’m the petitioner sponsor for my beneficiary spouse with his information entered in Part 2. Since I’m sponsoring my principal immigrant spouse I entered ‘Yes’ in item #1, Part 3, and in item #28 I entered 1.

Then in Part 5 ‘Sponsor’s Household Size’, item #1 entry = 1, and item# 2 = 1. Point of confusion is item #3 ‘If you are currently married, enter “1” for your spouse, which is one and the same as the person I’m sponsoring in item #1 entry. Then in item #8 it auto-populates household size as 3, which is not correct in that it should = 2. The Part 5 NOTE clearly states “Do not count any member of your household more than once”.

What is it I don’t understand, and/or need to do so the item 8 ‘Household Size’ total = 2?

TIA for all input clarifications.

Fill it out by hand.

You must put 0 someplace in order for the count to be correct. That is what we did. The lawyer told us

hi

you don't put 1 for spouse since she is the beneficiary, the i864 is for multiple type petitions

so you would put 1 for spouse, if you were filing for parent, child, sibling, then you count your spouse as household member because the beneficiary is different

you only can count a person once, so since she is already counted as the beneficiary, no need to count her as spouse

so count would be 2 if it is only the 2 of you

yes, someone who commented above is right, you need to put zero somewhere. If the person you are sponsoring and married to is one person, you cannot count the person twice as the instruction says. Put somewhere 0
