If you want to sponsor a relative or a family to the USA, you need to provide your Household size on the affidavit of support (Form I 864) to prove to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that you are financially capable of supporting them.
Understanding Household Size for USCIS Family Sponsorship
When sponsoring a relative for immigration to the United States, one of the most critical requirements is meeting the financial eligibility criteria. This is evaluated using the Federal Poverty Guidelines, which determine whether your income is sufficient to support your sponsored relative. Accurately calculating your household size is a key part of completing Form I-864, Affidavit of Support. Here’s what you need to know.
To Determine your household size for immigration purposes, you must include yourself ( the sponsor), your spouse and children and the person(s) you are sponsoring. If you are sponsoring more than one person, you must complete a separate form I-864 for each individual.
