What to write on form I-485 where it says List your present husband/wife and children

[extrajay]

Hi everyone,

I want to ask you a question.
My friend is applying for his green card (through marriage) and at the moment filling out the forms needed.

For form I-485 where it says "List your present husband/wife and children"
does he have to list the names of his wife's children?

I have heard you should do that, and list them, and write for them step-son or step-daughter,
and where it asks you "Are they applying with you" to choose "No".

Is this true?

What is the best thing to do here?

My friend who is filing the petition I-485 actually does NOT have any kids? His wife (she is the American citizen) has 3 kids of which only her youngest one lives with them.
Should he list only the youngest one, and write his name and put "step-son", or should he write all 3 kids, or should he NOT list any of them at all?

What do you think?

Thanks!

I think biological children. That's what we did.
