Hi,

 

I'm completing this form now and have a question about household size. I am sponsoring my wife and our two children are already US citizens, so our family size is 4. In the form, it's adding up five because it adds the person sponsored in this affidavit (my wife), myself, I am currently married (so one more - thus double counting my wife), and then our two children. This gives us the number 5. Can anyone point out my mistake? Thank you.

Your wife should be listed only as the person you are sponsoring. Do not list her more than once.

This form is all inclusive. So 3 applies to joint sponsors. If the JS is married, they will have to put 1 for their spouse. That's howI always interpret it. Or am I wrong @Crazy Cat

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Yes, in the case of a married joint sponsor, the spouse (#3)  would count as a "1".
