Form I 864 or I 864 EZ?

[badra 0]

Hello all!

I am doing DCF in madrid Spain. Last week I turned in the I 130 Form and they gave me a checklist for immigrant visas. I understand everything except the I 864. My parents are going to sponser me since I do not meet the guidelines. Here are my concerns:

1.) We both have to fill out the I 864 not I 864 Ez right???

2.)On the first part of the I 864 I should check (a) as the petitioner, and my parents should check (B) affidavit of support correct?

3.) Can my parents email me the completed I 864 or should they mail it to me?

Thank you all

Yes, you are correct. If you have a joint sponsor, you cannot use the EZ form. Check with your embassy on the email copy. I am almost certain they will want the original. Better to have the original than risk getting an RFE. You check the "petitioner" box on your Affidavit. Your parents check box e or e, whichever applies to them.

All incorrect.

1) You need I-864 and your parents need I-864A (The signatures on the I-864A must be notarized by a notary public or signed before an immigration or consular officer). No need to notarize I-864.

2) On I-864 form you check as petitioner and on I-864A sponsor check part1, question # 8C and then box “parent”.

3) Need original completed forms (no e-mail versions).

Sorry, this is wrong. First, to the OP -- your parents are not sponsoring YOU, they are sponsoring your spouse. Second, both you and one of your parents will complete I-864s; you are both acting as joint sponsors for your spouse. If you are filing DCF, you are most likely not living with your parents and are not part of their household, ergo it would be inappropriate for both parents to complete an I-864A. If both parents would like to be part of joint sponsorship, one parent would complete the I-864 and the other the I-864A. Neither the I-864 nor the I-864A no longer require notarization -- this was changed in 2006. See here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3197.html

Also, for your second question regarding which box to tick for the basis of filing the affidavit of support:

You check box "A" or your I-864 and your joint sponsor (the one completing the I-864) checks box "E" on his/her I-864. The parent completing the I-864A checks box "C" on question 8 but the answer is NOT parent but "other dependent" -- the parent is not sponsoring YOU, but your spouse, so the answer to fill in is "son-in-law" or "daughter-in-law" as appropriate.

I concu (again). Your parents fill out the I864 (not the 864A, as mentioned, that is only if you reside in the same household)

Well, only my father will sponser my wife...In thhat case he needs to fill out the I 864 not the I864A correct??? And which box should he check E or C?

[txladykat 1]

You need to fill out an I-864 and your father fills out a seperate I-864. If you are talking about Part I, number 1, you choose "A" I am the petitioner on your form. Your father chooses "D" I am the only joint sponsor.

Thank you all

Fill up I-864, he needs to send you the real one as NVC will not take an e mail version. Goodluck!

NVC is not involved with DCF.
