Questions regarding I-864 and household size

A few questions regarding I-864

 

I'm the USC, my wife is the visa applicant, I have 2 children who are born US citizen, and I am using my brother(who doesn't live with me) as the joint sponsor.

1. So my household size is 4, my brother fills out I-864 and his household size is 2, is this correct?

 

2. On part 5 item 1, the answer is 1 (my wife).  But on item 3 it asked me to enter 1 if I'm married, which would count my wife twice, what do I do here?  Enter 0 for item 3?

 

3. On item 8 it auto-populates to 1, and I can't change it, what's up with that?  Most of the fields I can fill in on the screen, but there are some I can't.  Including part 5 item 8 where I can't edit the 1 which is obviously the wrong answer.  What do I do?

1.  Two is your brother's household size only if he is unmarried with no minor children.  Otherwise, count his household size the same as yours plus your wife.

 

2.  Item three comes after the heading "Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit".  Your wife is already counted, so in this context, you enter 0 there

 

3.  Use Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe reader, complete the numbers correctly and the household size will automatically be correct.  If it's not, then you made a mistake, not the form.  The one also is already populated in the Yourself field.  That's where it comes from.
