affidavit of support questions

[e_babe198027]

Hi to everyone, I having few questions regarding form I-864

My US citizen husband is going to file form I-864 for my son in the philippines together with form I-130, in Part 6 it asks for total income as reported on federal tax returns for the most 3 years.
Me (green card holder) and my husband filed MARRIED filing JOINT in our taxes from 2013-2014, but HE is the sponsor for my son, Im wondering what figures should we put on 2013 and 2014, should he just put his GROSS income or both our incomes?

and also on Part 5 sponsor's household size:

Im a green card holder should he count me in as 1
how about our US citizen child here should he count her as 1
and ofcourse he needs to count my son from the philippines as 1
will the total be 4 including my husband?

P.S.
Im already a conditional green card holder since 2013 so I am not included in this petition he will file.


Replies will be highly considered and THANK YOU SO MUCH for the help.

Hi to everyone, I having few questions regarding form I-864

My US citizen husband is going to file form I-864 for my son in the philippines together with form I-130, in Part 6 it asks for total income as reported on federal tax returns for the most 3 years.

THE I-864 SHOULD NOT BE SUBMITTED UNTIL AFTER THE PETITION IS APPROVED AND GOES TO THE NATIONAL VISA CENTER (NVC).
THE TAX RETURN TOTAL INCOME AMOUNTS SHOULD BE AS SHOWN ON LINE 22 OF PAGE 1 OF FORM 1040.

Me (green card holder) and my husband filed MARRIED filing JOINT in our taxes from 2013-2014, but HE is the sponsor for my son, Im wondering what figures should we put on 2013 and 2014, should he just put his GROSS income or both our incomes?

FOR THE #13 INCOME AMOUNTS, THE LINE 22 TOTAL INCOME FROM FORM 1040 SHOULD BE USED. BUT THE EARLIER ANNUAL INCOME AMOUNTS SHOULD BE HIS INDIVIDUAL ESTIMATED ANNUAL INCOME.

and also on Part 5 sponsor's household size:

Im a green card holder should he count me in as 1

YOU SHOUD BE COUNTED AS HIS SPOUSE.

how about our US citizen child here should he count her as 1

YES.

and ofcourse he needs to count my son from the philippines as 1

YES.

will the total be 4 including my husband?

YES.

P.S.
Im already a conditional green card holder since 2013 so I am not included in this petition he will file.
