I-864
Correct, since you are doing a DCF this is considered to be an immigration visa petition which requires the I-864.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!

And i forgot, i only need one year tax? Not three anymore?

I (the petitioner) filled in an I-864 and was asked for only my 2005 tax return even though the document clearly stated that they wanted to see three years. I would say gather the last three years' tax returns (they should all be filed safely in the same place anyway) just to be on the safe side. You guys wouldn't want to roll up to the interview with only the 2005 1040 just to be told they want to see 2003 and 2004.
When in doubt, I would say go with the requirement that asks for MORE information, not less, i.e. if you get conflicting information about how many years of tax returns are required, always go with the higher (more demanding) figure of 3 years instead of the apocryphal figure of 1, which seems to pop up occasionally (as it did for us).
I get the impression that they asked me for 1 year of returns because we are doing a DCF and I live in the UK along with my British husband. Since I live outside of the United States I was told my income cannot actually be counted on the I-864. We satisfied that requirement with assets (i.e. our house) instead of income (even though we both work). I brought tax returns from 2002 onwards, but was asked only for 2005.
