Another I-864 question: Part 3; family members who are citizens

[Laleh 2]

Hi,

I've searched through a bunch of old threads on the I-864 and haven't found my issue. It is probably there somewhere, but there were so many and I couldn't find it.

I am US citizen. My husband (the beneficiary) is a citizen of Tajikistan. Our daughter (4 years old) is a US citizen. We all live together in Czech Republic. As soon as the visa comes through, we will all move to the US together.

I will be filling out the I-864, and my father will fill it out as well, as a joint sponsor.

My question is about Part 3:

Question 1: Yes

Question 2: I am sponsoring the following family members...

Would this boxed be checked or not?

Question 3 (family member 1): Would I be listed here? Would my daughter be listed here? She is a minor and a dependent, but again, already a US citizen.

Would I or my daughter appear anywhere else on the form?

In the above issues, would there be any differences in my and my father's forms?

Thanks so much! I think that's all the questions I have for now. I just want to get my dad started on this while we wait for the last police certificate, so that he can take his time.

You are not sponsoring your daughter as she is already a USC.

But she is included in your household size on your form (not that your form counts for much as you are using a joint sponsor but yours still needs to be completed correctly as the petitioner/sponsor).

Your father is not sponsoring her and does not include her on his household size (but he does include your husband and any members of his own household).

So, part 3 would be:

Question 1: yes

Question 2 leave blank

Question 3 nobody. You are not sponsoring any family members of your husband as you and your daughter do not require sponsorship

Your dad's form would be the same for that part.

Question 2: I am sponsoring the following family members... NO, the only one immigrating is your husband

Would I or my daughter appear anywhere else on the form? Yes, on household size and you anywhere the petitioner is required to fill in

In the above issues, would there be any differences in my and my father's forms? yes, he would add his own family in household size

Thanks so much! I think that's all the questions I have for now. I just want to get my dad started on this while we wait for the last police certificate, so that he can take his time.

Thanks so much! So, in part 5 (household size):

(for my own form)

1. 1 (my husband)

2. 1 (me)

3. Should I enter 0 because my husband is in question 1?

4. 1

5. - 7. 0

8. 3

(for my father)

1. 1 (my husband)

2. 1 (my father)

3. 0

4. 0

5. 0

6. 0

7. 0

8. 2

Would this be correct, or would my daughter and I be included somewhere in my father's household size, or is it assumed (correctly, of course) that our daughter is my dependent as a US citizen, and my father is not financially responsible for her or me? (I don't think this matters, but just in case, let me mention that we'll be staying with my mom at first in the US, not my dad, but my mom doesn't make enough to sponsor us.)

You're right in your calculations.

Your household size is 3 - you, husband and child.

Your father is 2 - himself and your husband (assuming your father doesn't have a wife or dependents).

Thanks so much!
