it's a good thing if the k-1 was sent there, as mine was from nebraska. dunno about the aos papers.

here goes my dumb question on the i-864:

although some links here on vj say there is supposed to be a new form, the one i've found on both vj and the uscis website lists one that has already expired (09/30/06)

i'm presuming i'm stuck with that one. if otherwise, let me know.

now for the weird math........

part 3, # 8 i check yes and # 10 i put "01"

then on to part 5, #21 i put the number from #10 in 21a. (01)

21b - myself

21c - nessa (01)

21d - my daughter (01)

grand total in h is 4?

oh and the example form on vj is different than the current one, that's why i'm soooo confused.

Charles,

You do not count your spouse twice since she is already counted for in Part 3. Your household size should be 3 if it's just you, your wife and your daughter. You only check the spouse in Part 5 if you are not sponsoring your spouse (ie. child only etc.).

[Ban Hammer 12,880]

Charles and Nessa, are you guys doing the I-864 or de I-864EZ?

the ez apparently only applies to certain cases, which ain't ours.

Are you sure? I did the EZ and was so much easier for me

That's what it says on the EZ form...

2.The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed onthe Form I-130 petition;

3.The income you are using to qualify is based entirely onyour salary or pension and is shown on one or more FormsW-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s).

Who May Not Use Form I-864EZ?

You must complete Form I-864 (and not Form I-864EZ) if any of the following conditions apply:

ed.

charlesandnessa,

Did you see the capitalized, underlined, words at Part 5 item 21. that say "DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE" ? The detailed instructions for Part 5 say the same.....

Yodrak

..... now for the weird math........

part 3, # 8 i check yes and # 10 i put "01"

then on to part 5, #21 i put the number from #10 in 21a. (01)

ah i knew something had to be wrong with my math

ty very much

and yes, i did, yodrak, just i was trying to figure out where not to count nessa at

4. You are a "substitute sponsor" filing because the originalI-130 petitioner is deceased.

as i understand it, an i-864ez is for those who filed an i-130 (k-3), nessa and i are a k-1, so we are ineligible to file the ez form.
