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."

So this is all in relation to the petitioner (i.e. petitioner has a dependent child).. if the beneficiary has a child but they are not bringing them (staying back in country of origin with other parent for now) they don't count as a dependent.. correct?

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. 

Yes i think your right. Thank you❤️ Anyway even though he put his child as partially dependent he still covers that poverty guidelines . But i really want to make sure about it☺️ Thanks guys

Correct. You don't have to sponsor somebody who is not immigrating. If they decide to do follow-to-join later for a K-2, or get petitioned separately later, then a new I-134/I-864 would be needed for them anyway.

my fiance have a child support but the custody is under her ex wife. In his w2, there was NO dependent written, meaning single. Should He still place His daughter as partially dependent on him because of his child custody??? This is my question. Thanks for answering in advance☺️

Yeah I guess I am just confused... because I work at a law firm and I don't necessarily work with immigration, but I have attorneys here who have some experience with immigration and they said the i-129f and all supporting documents for that are not needed until the "adjustment to status/green card" interview...they said it's not necessary at the interview he has with the embassy to receive the visa to marry me. But I don't want to take their word for it.

 

Also I make $30,000 a year as the petitioner (0 dependents - it would just be me and my fiance) - do I still need a sponsor?

Wow and this must be how lawyers are messing this visa up in general...
