I-864EZ - Couple of silly questions

[grad_student 11]

Was going through I-864EZ that I will be filing in next few monts, and have couple of quick questions about Mailing Address for the Intending Immigrant required in Part 2. I am the intending immigrant btw. I have attached a picture of the relevant part of I-864EZ form for your convenience.

#1. My home address is kinda long and wont fit in the box/space provided in item no. 2.b. I was initially thinking to put the rest of it in the box below for item no. 2.c. (which I have circled in red in the attached pic). But after having read the instructions, I think I am supposed to put my mailing address (that wont fit it item no. 2.b.) at the end in Part 9. And the box I have circled in red in the attached pic is to put down the Apartmrnt/Suite/Floor number in case it applied to you. Am I correct in this assumption?

#2. If I use Part 9 to put my mailing address (that wont fit it item no. 2.b in Part 2), should I put only that part of the mailing address that wont fit in item no. 2.b. in Part 2 or the entire mailing address?

Had the same problem. Left the line blank when I printed it, then hand wrote the address in.

You can leave it blank and hand write OR you can put an attachment that has your entire current address. the red circle is for the APT, STE, or FLR number/name which applies to some types of housing. Do not continue you address here unless you already have that in your address.

For instance if you live in apartment 201, 4321 Uptown street. then you would write

4321 uptown street

Check the APT box. and write 201.

My whole address will not fit in the box in item 2.b even if I write it by hand. So here are my three options. What do you guys suggest I should follow?

1. Try fitting as much as possible in this box and put the rest of the address that doesnt fit in item 2.b in Part 2 at the end of the I-864EZ in Part 9 - Additional Information

2. Try fitting as much as possible in this box and then put the enitre address in Part 2 at the end of the I-864EZ in Part 9 - Additional Information (whihc would mean the part of the address that fits in item 2.b. Part 2 will be written twice, one in Part 2 and once in Part 9)

3. Leave item 2.b. in Part 2 empty and put the enitre address in Part 2 at the end of the I-864EZ in Part 9 - Additional Information

Yea my address doesnt include apartment or floor or suite number so that box will be left empty or may put "N/A" in there.

Use an attatchment sheet if your address is that long.

Yea but what do I put in item 2.b. in Part 2? Fill however address fits there or leave it blank? Write all of the address in attachment sheet or just the part of the address that doesnt fit in item 2.b. in Part 2?

[NikLR 13,220]

You write: see attachment. Then on an attachment sheet you write the ENTIRE address. Do not write just part of an address.

BTW I know you are the beneficiary but this form is for the petitioner not the beneficiary. You need an original signed I-864 for interview so the petitioner will need to print, sign, and physically mail back the I-864 for the beneficiary to take to interview. In reality this address will change once you arrive in the USA and nothing will be sent to it.

[NikLR 13,220]

These forms are made by the US government so often they don't include enough space for even their own addresses.

They should leave at least one more line IMHO.

Ok great. Thanks for the pointer. I was leaning towards writing part of address there. Now i know better.

Also, my USC wife doesnt has much time to prepare for immigration stuff, so I do the leg work and tell her what to do. I do understand she needs to sign it. But I thought the original was supposed to be mailed in to NVC as part of AOS package, and beneficiary takes a copy of it to the interview.

[NikLR 13,220]

You can either mail it to the NVC or take it to interview. An original needs to be at the interview. Some people do it one way and others do it the other. I took my original to interview because in Canada you can do electronic processing. That's how I know a copy at NVC is okay.
