I dont know the size of my family, I am a bit confused. Can somebody help me?
My husband is my co-signer, do I need to include him?
Here are the members of my family:
Myself, my husband, and I only have 1 daughter
I am only planning to sponsor my mother and this is my first time to do sponsoring.
So what do you guys think about it? Which minimum necessary income should I choose in LOW INCOME CUTOFF (LICO)? Please I need your help! Thanks!!!!

For LICO, you count yourself, husband, daughter, mom so that is 4 people your income has to be able to support. If your personal income is not high enough, your husband can co-sign for his income to count as well.

Oh, I thought the total number would only 3 (my mom, daughter and myself) and my husband will not be included coz he is my co signer.
Thank you Guys! I appreciate your time!
