How do I know whether I have to submit I864 or I864EZ???

[DeW_DrOpS 21]

just confused what should I submit at NVC ... I864 or I864EZ???

I have tax transcripts from year 2013 & 2014 and I filed 1040 in 2013 with income of 3200$

In 2014 I have 31000$ adjusted gross income n I filed 1040EZ I have w2s from 2013& 2014 too

So I will mention income from 2013 & 2014 years only

I don't have tax returns for 2012 coz I immigrated in 2013 so obviously I don't have to submit that

Now I m the petitioner n I am using only my income since for 2014 it's above poverty lines for 2 n my spouse is the only person I m sponsoring.... So it meets the requirements for I864EZ but I am confused what to submit????

If I submit I864 will NVC send me a checklist to submit I864 EZ or they will accept I864???

Comments highly appreciated ...Thank You

yes sir. I-864EZ is acceptable because you and your wife only. so your good

[DeW_DrOpS 21]

OK...But if i submit I864 is there any chance NVC ask me to submit I864EZ??

On the contrary if i submit I-864A ...is there any chance they ask to fill I864...??

Asking coz i dont want to mess up and wait for 60 days with NVC since a minor mistake would cost me 2 months....

Please do reply me for the above doubt too....

Thank You for the info.....

For your signature, I-130 Approval by USCIS would be the technically correct verbiage for March 31, 2015.

Your case is still under processing, semantically speaking.

Seems to you but it's already approved... Case approved means I 130 form only coz there is no other form on my signature...I cannot write according to u what you understand .....So please pardon me....

I864 and I864EZ are one and the same thing the diffrence just being that I864EZ is the shorter version of I864. I864EZ requires you to meet certain criteria listed in the link http://www.***removed***/affidavit-of-support/i-864ez-affidavit-of-support.html. If you find yourself eligible you can file I864EZ and its accepted by NVC OR fill an I864. I864a is for a joint sponser (if you have any) which is not needed if you are able to sponsor your spouse. I think tax transcrips for two years should do just to be sure add in a note about the 2012 tax returns. I'm not sure of the part if you were working before immigrating in 2012 and have to show those in tax returns, I hope other members can chip in about that.

Look at the I-864EZ. Can the US petitioner honestly answer yes to all 3 questions. If so then by all means, use that form as it's easier. If you submit the I-864a by mistake the NVC will ask you to send in either an I-864 or I-864EZ.

[j&ana 363]

You can do I-864 or the I-864ez

the ez form is easier and you should do that one as it seems you meet all 3 requirements. There is less chance for mistake to be made but either one is ok

Do not send in I-864A form

Thank you very much friends... I was just more confused for 3 years of returns... But I think they mostly look for latest one...

[NikLR 13,220]

Last one or last 3, up to you.

[DeW_DrOpS 21]

Last one or last 3, up to you.

Last one is better...coz i have latest one...Both 1040EZ as well as Tax Transcripts too....so that will be good

Thanks for the reply

Just one more question...Do the petitioner have to send copy of Green Card and Passport also with AOS documents or not???
