I-864 or I-864ez

[Sandles1234 0]

Hello,

This is my first post and I've done a search but can't really find an answer. I'm trying to decide if I can fill out the I-864ez instead of the I-864. I meet all 2 of the critera and am not sure about the last one which goes like this:

The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more forms W-2 provided your employer(s).

The thing is... I have a regular job and I tried to start a contract work on the side. The contract work didn't go well and I ended up losing around 800 dollars. This is shown on my 1040 as a loss, and there's an attached Schedule C on the tax form. I still made enough on my W-2 form. So, can I fill out the I-864ez since the income I'm using technically is solely based on my W2 form or do I need to use the I0864?

Please help...

Thanks.

No, if you are using only your income, and not another sponsor, and your income alone meets the requirements, you can use the EZ.

Thanks, I feel much better now.
