The answers to these questions and ones you may never know to think about, are in the I-864 instructions.  Become an A-Student of those instructions.

 

1 I-864 for each intending immigrant.  Yes, you list YOUR children on each of the affidavits.  Your actual household size is six but the totals that will show are 4 on your wife's five on each of the children's affidavits.  You'll still need to qualify for the household of six.

 

Do not indicate you are sponsoring other than the principal applicant on any of the three affidavits.  I know this is counterintuitive but still correct.  The consular officer will understand the full income requirement and apply it, even though no affidavit shows a household of six on its own face.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
