will my husband have to be added to the size of sponsor’s household or household includes only the friend- joint sponsor, his wife and kids and myself?
Your husband would not be included in the friend's household size unless you and your husband LIVE with the friend/joint sponsor or the friend/joint sponsor claims your husband as a dependent on his taxes. Best wishes!
Yes as long as the sponsor meets the minimum income test counting the two individuals sponsored as part of the sponsor's household size. Best wishes!
I have H1b visa but due to Covid I haven't been able to change the visa on my passport from F1 to H1b, but I have the I-797A approval notice for H1b. I'm wondering if that will be enough for applying for marriage green card. Thank you.
Yes. It will be enough. Best wishes!
Your question does not make sense. You need to provide more information and explain better. Who is applying and for what type of visa, etc. Best wishes!
More information is needed to answer your question. Best to do a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney because they will have many questions before they can give you an answer. Best wishes!
So my wife the beneficiary have a 2 part first name. I accidentally put just one part of her first name on the i130. It’s approved and send to NVC. I want to get it corrected I have all the supporting documents. Would I have any issues getting it fixed.

Are you sure you omitted the name... Read more »

USCIS does not verify if taxes are paid by the sponsor, only that they are filed. However, if the fact that they have not been paid does come up, it may put into question why the sponsor cannot pay taxes due to IRS but expects to be able to support another person's daily needs/expenses. USCIS... Read more »
