Question about my sponsor

[JoeCanuk 3]

Hi. If my fiancee and I have children does that affect my sponsor? Will he have to make more money for every kid we have? Or is he just responsible for me?

The affidavit of support used for the visa counts all US dependents, as well as any children immigrating with you.

Look at the poverty line guid to determine how much your sponsor needs to make to sponsor. 125% of the line.

Yes, thank you for your answer. I wasn't clear enough though. We don't have children but I was wondering if we had children later. I guess we better not huh? lol

Oh, PS. I only have to worry about 100% of the poverty level because he is in the air force.

If you have children later that wont affect the Affidavit of support they would not retroactively add them to past filed affidavits. So if you did marry get green-card then had a child, you don't need to file a new I-864 counting the new child.
