  When you file form I-944, the numbering of people in the household should depend upon present and not future circumstances. Please also note that there is a limitation to the type of individuals who can be listed as members of your household. Persons who are not part of your immediate family include any other individuals (including a spouse not physically residing with you) to whom you provide, or are required to provide, at least 50 percent of the individual’s financial support, or who are listed as a dependent on your federal income tax return; and any individual who provides to you at least 50 percent of your financial support, or who lists you as a dependent on his or her federal income tax return.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
