Questions about I-864

[adzgem 1]

Hi, I’m almost there with completing my concurrent filing (I-130 and I-485) for my husband of UK origin. 
 

I have 2 questions. I currently do not work as I am in the process of looking for a job. I haven’t had any income while living abroad for the last 4 years since we had our kids I have been a stay at home mum. So for my I-864 I will be showing zero income and no tax returns. I am attaching a letter explaining why I have not filed my taxes over the last years. 
 

we have a joint sponsor, who is a friend of my fathers, who we (myself, husband and 2 kids) are currently staying with in the US. As he is not related to us we will be using him as a joint sponsor. The question I have is for my I-864, my household size is 4. 
 

but for his, because he already is a family of 3, (himself, his wife and daughter) does he put his household size as 7 to include all of us, just my husband to make it 5 or just his family?

 

my brain is leaning towards 7 based on what I’ve read everywhere. But I just want to be sure before committing.

 

any help would be much appreciated.

Joint sponsor would only count his spouse, children or any dependants plus the immigrant he's sponsoring. Household size is to do with taxes. If all of you aren't filing taxes together, you won't be in the same household.

Ah thank you so much, this answers my question. Really appreciate it
