How to know if they count as dependents?

[Rica Ross 3]

My fiancè is divorced and he got a daughter to his first wife. The kid doesn't live with him but with her mom. Is the kid count as a dependent even she didn't live with her dad ? Or no? 

And i got a daughter but i am not planning to bring her with me US if ever. But he wrote her name on the 129f form. Is she still count as a dependent too?

 

Kinda confuse on those parts! Hope someone enlighten me Thanks!

his daugther might count as dependent only if he is paying child support i believe.

Is this for the I-134 or I-864.

 

I-134 isn't asked for in Manila for a K1

for any income requirement filling, yes that would count against him.  To qualify for the 100% or 125% of the poverty guideline it does matter

For the K1 interview at US Embassy in Manila.  

 

Some people think it is a requirement for the interview, like a CENOMAR, etc.

 

The I-864 is needed once you do an Adjustment of status after entering the USA.

Got it! And yes mostly beneficiaries came from Manila they really prepared documents like CENOMAR , NBI clearance and the I-34s. They are actually way prepared for anything. But i only saw rare cases when the consule ask for I-34. Better safe than sorry .

Agreed

 

I saw a interview document last month sent to the beneficiary, it doesn't even mention I-134 anymore in the letter.

 

I will see if I can find the letter.  I remember 2 years ago a CO telling a interview that the i-134 was never really needed in the first place.

You and my F have the same scenario. But this year he didn't claim her daughter at all as dependent for tax return. So is she still count dependent for k1? Last 2016 ITR he did claimed her.

  If the child in the US is his and the child is under the age of legal independence or under and has not been legally emancipated he counts as fully dependent  a child that is over the age of adulthood and still living at home is partially dependent.
