A "household member" (a term used on the form but not in the statute) is someone whose income is pooled with the principal sponsor for purposes of determining household income, but then a qualifying family or tax dependent relationship is required. See 8 CFR 213a.1. This person would complete Form I-864A. A girlfriend would not qualify as a "household member" even if she is living in the household. On the remaining point, proof of current income can be shown with pay stubs and a letter from an employer.
