I-485 PART 8 ITEM 62 Household Size: are my in-laws (spouse's parents and sibling) included?

[miesavbarr 0]

According to the criteria of who to include in the household size, there's nothing that says "spouse's parents" and "spouse's unmarried sibling". (i-485instr.pdf (uscis.gov)) but me (the applicant) and my spouse currently reside with them in the same house. Are they automatically still included or no?

Does any of this apply?

 

"• Any other individuals (including a spouse or child not physically residing with you) who are listed as dependents on your federal income tax return; and • Any other individuals who list you as a dependent on their federal income tax return."

 

E.g. do you list them as your dependents on taxes or vice versa?

So they should not be included. The household in this case is in context of finances / taxes. As if you lived with roommates. You're typically not going to include them in your household even if you share a house for living arregement.

Got it! That makes sense. Thank you so much!
