re I-134 Affidavit of Support

Taken from I-864

How Do I Count Household Size?

Your household size includes yourself and the following individuals, no matter where they live: any spouse, any dependent children under the age of 21, any other dependents listed on your most recent Federal income tax return, all persons being sponsored in this affidavit of support, and any immigrants previously sponsored with a Form I-864 or Form I-864 EZ affidavit of support whom you are still obligated to support. If necessary to meet the income requirements to be a sponsor, you may include additional relatives (adult children,parents, or siblings) as part of your household size as long as they have the same principle residence as you and promise to use their income and resources in support of the intending immigrant(s).

Does "any spouse" here include the ex-wife?

Kathlene got her packet and interview letter confirming August 9th as her interview date yesterday! So for everyone who was worried about the appointments disappearing off the website, that is good news!

Since she has her medical done already this is our LAST step before we are together again!

We are going to miss spending our anniversary together next month, but this is a pretty good anniversary present!

Ako gugma ko GWAPA asawa Kathlene!

(I love my BEAUTIFUL wife Kathlene!)

Does "any spouse" here include the ex-wife?

In my own understanding, "any spouse" refers only to the current wife... unless of course if the husband is paying for "alimony" for the "ex-wife". :star: (not so sure though just my cent of understanding) Maybe someone can explain this to u much much better.... :help:
