Ok I called NVC this morning and talked with an operator. She told me that the I-864 packet had been generated and will arrive in 2-4 weeks. However, I'm ready to send everything right now using James Shortcuts. I have all of my documents together. I want to send the I-864EZ form. I'm using just my own income, I'm the petitioner, however, my wife has a five year old son who has been with her in Bolivia and is a United Sates Citizen, so the petition is just for my wife. He will be traveling to the US with her and will then be a dependent once they both arrive. Do I have to declare her son as a dependent on the form? Or just use my wife and I for the form. Can I still use the I-864EZ or the normal one? My income is still above the poverty level for three people for this year. Anyone have any suggestions?


Also, I created the I-864 choversheet page, but to me the barcode looks a little off. Can anyone tell me if this looks ok. I followed James Shortcuts exactly. I hope I attached it correctly.

you can't use i864ez, i864ez is for you and your spouse only.
since you have 1 dependent you have to include that even though the child is USC. the poverty lvl for you is 3 people not 2. so using i864 is the best way

Yes, you have declare your spouse's son. you should use I864 form and can use your present employment as income (2-4 recent paystubs, employment letter)
