my fiance have a child support but the custody is under her ex wife. In his w2, there was no dependent written. Should He still place His daughter as partially dependent on him because of his child custody??? @Naes me again☺️☺️☺️☺️

I was told by Rapidvisa that it is Tax dependents only.

I'm so excited to see so many people getting their NoA2...but i'm starting to get worried because we haven't heard anything yet. Our NoA1 is August 15th. I keep trying to forget about it and occupy my mind, but its hard

So apparently i spoke too soon....We got an email today saying an RFE was mailed out. I'm still excited! At least it means they are working on our case, and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. At this point I'd almost cut my arm off and send it if they asked for it lol

Running at the moment.

Guys because most approvals started coming very recently (and I'm already way far in the scan. It will show only 8/21 and later cases. I will update it again with the full day scan.

Pretty sure you list any and all children, whether they are listed as dependants on tax return or not. I learned that from other users on here.

It's really out of my expertise but,

i would say it should be listed as partially dependent.

It’s my understanding that yes, he must list his child as a dependant, whether the child is listed as a dependant on his tax return or not. I learned that on this site from other users, and the reason given to me was because although the child may not currently be a dependant, circumstances can change.

They are listed already from K-1 forms. The question of household dependents has to do with income requirements.

I was feeling really really sad today. So I went out and watched Black Panther by myself. When I got home, I called my fiance. After talking for almost an hour, he suddenly stopped talking. He sent me a screenshot and I started crying.

 

Congrats to everyone who got their approvals too. And to those who are still waiting, hang in there.

What exactly is the question? Sorry, I went back a few pages but there's a number of ongoing conversations in the monthly filing threads so it's hard to trace back.

 

In general...

The I-134 is not as specific as the I-864. What qualifies as a fully vs partially dependent individual is brought up and I don't have a "100% this is the case" answer, sorry. I generally defer to the I-864 guidelines when it's not spelled out on the I-134...if it's good enough for that then it should be good enough for the I-134, too.

 

The I-864 lists the rules for who to count in the household more clearly (https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-864instr.pdf), pages 6-7. Assuming the question is about children (I caught one post mentioning this, I think?):

"Item Number 4.

Enter the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children. You may exclude any unmarried children under 21 years of age, if these children have reached majority under the law of their place of domicile and you do not claim them as dependents on your Federal income tax returns.

 

Item Number 5.

Enter the number of any other dependents. You must include each and every person whom you have claimed as a dependent on your most recent Federal income tax return, even if that person is not related to you. Even if you are not legally obligated to support that person, you must include the person if, in fact, you did support that person and claimed the person as a dependent."
