Household size and roommates

[Ieeeeeees 38]

Hi there! When I filed my I-485 package, I only included myself and my husband in my household size. Since then, 3 of our best friends have moved in with us as roommates and the rent is split between all 5 of us. This is also listed on our lease. We don't share anything with them financially speaking but since we live with them, should I update my household size by the time of my interview and could the fact that we have roommates negatively impact my immigration process? The utilities are included in the rent but my husband's name is on them (our landlord is his mother and she's very helpful when it comes to me immigrating as she's an immigrant herself) and he plans to add me as soon as I get my SSN.

 

Thanks!

No. Roommates don't count towards the "household size" per the relevant instructions.

But the fact that we have roommates isn't an immediate reason for rejection?

Why would it be?

Not sure, just felt like maybe it would be a sign of our relationship not being bona fide. I don't know how strict they are 😅
