If you don't claim your children on your taxes, it's a household size of 2 (you and intending immigrant).  Your income needs to meet $20,300 of 125% poverty guideline. 

 

Do you claim your parents on your tax returns? Also, when did you sponsor them? If they are not citizens yet, you are probably still responsible for them according to AOS since they haven't met 40 quarters working or still not US citizens freeing you of their sponsorship.

 

If it was a household size of 4 (you, your parents, and intending immigrant), it would be $30,750.

 

Edit: Also, if your children are under 21, per the guidelines, you must include them in your household size regardless of where they live. So, it may be size of 6, meaning $41,200.

Please read part 5.

 

" Part 5. Sponsor’s Household Size Add together the number of persons for whom you are financially responsible. Some of these persons may not be residing with you. Make sure you do not count any individual more than once. In some cases the same person could fit into two categories. 

 

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 6. Enter the number of lawful permanent residents whom you are currently obligated to support based on your previous submission of Form I-864 as a petitioning, substitute, or joint sponsor, or Form I-864EZ, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, as a petitioning sponsor. Include only those persons who have already immigrated to the United States. Do not include anyone for whom your obligation to support has ended through the sponsored immigrant’s acquisition of U.S. citizenship, death, abandonment of lawful permanent residence in the United States, acquisition of 40 quarters of earned or credited work in the United States, or obtaining a new grant of adjustment of status while in removal proceedings based on a new affidavit of support, if one is required.

Read my second post. You are most likely looking at a household size of 6=$41,200.

 

BTW, in your other thread, you said you are still a GC holder, how did you sponsor your parents then? That is only for USCs.

I'm not concerned. You were the one not being clear and I was simply asking, no need to get a nasty attitude. I'm the one trying to help you. Anyway, I have already answered your question. Good luck.

Your household, for I-864 purposes includes you, your parents, any of your unmarried children under 21 no matter where they live and no matter whether you claim them on your tax return, plus the spouse who is the intending immigrant.  The income requirement is the one for a household of 6.  For 2017, that's $41,200.  For 2018, it might be a little more.
