I-130

[del-2-5-2014 1,339]

On I-864 ii seems that I'm reporting my Wife twice.

On line 8 I selected (I'm sponsoring principal immigrant) and also clicked on yes.

So when I get to line 10 I record 01 and carry it over to line 21a but then I also had to enter her again on line 21c.

Now it says in capital letters not to add anyone twice but line h says to add all lines.

How did you folks get by this?

Put 0 for 21c.

Are you filing I864EZ? If so, Part 4 number 16 a. counts you and your wife as 2 already. If it is the I864, are you sponsoring more than your wife? If not LBeachey is right!

They need to reword that form. This question comes up everythime. if you are doing just the -864E then your wife is already counted in the first option. Unless you have someone else you have sponsored before(parent etc), your totyal should come up to just 2 for both of you.

I'm glad I'm not alone in seeing the quagmire that this form presents when you are petitioning a Spouse.

I'll go with the EZ form.

Yes, you are not the first person to be confused by the form but if you look right above 21b it says:

Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:

One warning, many consulates will not accept the I-864EZ (China doesn't). I would check in the regional forum if your particular consulate has any specific requirements.

LOL. I had to trouble my brain to figure it out too.

yes use the I-864EZ if you meet all the criteria as can be found here:

What you're not alone in, is missing the words "Do not count anybody twice" in the instructions at the top of that section. It's counter-intuitive when filing an affidavit of support for a spouse but that's only one in a list of things the form is used for.
