What are the differences between the I-864 and the I-864EZ?

[CommittedBirds 0]

Hello, reading an article saying that the I-864EZ is the affidavit of support when the petitioner has to use his/her salary only, here's the paragraph : " I-864EZ, for use by petitioners who are sponsoring only one person on the Form I-130 petition and using only a salary or pension as income (no assets and so forth), with that income shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by an employer(s) or former employer(s)."

I'm the only person that my wife is sponsoring, and she has no assets but she has salary, and we are IR-1 which initially was CR-1 as we had been married more than 2 years, knowing that we had submitted the I-864 last year but i got denied then > AP > NOIR > reaffirmation, and now a new interview scheduled for me next month. Do we have to go for I-864 or I-864EZ?

For me, I learned about the different between the two,

when

reading the 1040EZ instructions.

All three of the following are true:

• You filed a Form I-130 petition, for your relative
• There is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition, and
• All your qualifying income comes from a salary or pension and shows on one or more W-2 Forms that you receive

(that means no joint sponsors)

Yes you can use the form if all 3 are true!

I was wondering does using I864EZ has any advantage over others? cause it says "EZ".

Have you looked at the form?

That's what I used as AOS.

Yeah, it's EZ..... ee.....zee.... easy.........

did you look over the other one then?

I-864EZ is significantly shorter and easier. Thus the EZ as pointed out by the mean lady.... LOL (I've been waiting to use that!)
