接着问8老师：确认一下 Item 6 of Part 5 in I-864: "If you have sponsored any other persons on Form I-864 or Form I-864EZ who are now lawful permanent residents, enter the number here."可是我爸爸还不是permanent resident啊，他的485也在审理之中。

-It is fine. I have advised many people like your parents did this way and none of them had a problem.

是不是 Item 5 of Part 5 in I-864: “If you have any other dependents, enter here”更合理呢？

-No! Your father is the intending immigrant (as your immediate relative), not your dependent yet.

He is just a temporary visitor currently. If he gets the green card to live with you for longer period of time and you provide most of the financial support for his living, you may count him as your dpendent (e.g., for tax return filing).
