What to put for household size? AOS of MIL [split thread]

[Petition2252 7]

@joaovily What did you put for your household? I am in the same boat...

As I read:



So if my wife is filing for her mother (my mother-in-law)... My mother-in-law is the applicant for I-485.

Do I put a household of 1 (applicant only)?

The way I read it You = Mother-in-law (applicant) = +1
Your Spouse = N/A. Mother-in-law is divorced, she is the only applicant
Your Parents = N/A. Mother-in-law is the only applicant
Your unmarried siblings under 21 = N/A
Your children as defined in INA 101(b)(1) = Cannot figure out what this is, but from what I read here (removed link), my wife is not a stepchild and is over 21
Any other individuals... (for both bullets) = N/A. Applicant has never filed a federal income tax return.

Or do I put a household of 5 (my family plus my mother-in-law/applicant)?

On the I-485   Household  is 1 ( one ) just MIL

On the I-864 it’s 5 . 
Remember to also do I-864 A if you are using income from wife and you to meet guidelines.
