Confused i864 or i864a

[7www7 2]

Im petitioning my parents and nvc is asking for support. Im a working student and made about 12k last year(2016). My grandmother(my dads mom) will help me to meet the poverty level. We live both in the same address and just the two of us as well. Question is....is she going to fill-up i864 or i864a? Thanks

Are you financially tied, ie one of you is listing the other as dependent on the tax return?

Not financially tied.

Anyone knows? Thanks.

Agreed; since you are not financially tied, you each fill in a I-864.  Being in the same physical household doesn't necessarily mean you are in the same financial household for the purpose of the I-864.

(5)  (U) A sponsor may use the Form I-864-EZ in place of Form I-864 if he or she meets all of the following requirements:

(a)  (U) The sponsor is the visa petitioner (who filed the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative);

(b)  (U) The affidavit of support is filed on behalf of only one intending immigrant, who is the only person listed on the Form I-130;

Well actually.... slight correction to the above post:

 

The Form I-864 EZ is a shorter version of Form I-864 designed for those that meet certain criteria.

Eligibility:

Form I-864 EZ can be used only if ALL following conditions apply:

- You are the person who filed or is filing the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for a relative being sponsored;

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

This can be true in all immediate relative petitions. This may be true in some preference-based categories if there are no dependents who are immigrating with or within 6 months of the sponsored immigrant.

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

Ineligibility:

You are not eligible for Form I-864EZ if any of the following conditions apply:

- The relative you are sponsoring is not the only person immigrating based upon the underlying visa petition; In other words, there are accompanying dependent (or derivative) family members;

- You filed or are filing a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, for the immigrant you are sponsoring;

- You are a joint sponsor;

- You are a "substitute sponsor" filing because the original I-130 petitioner has died;

- The income you will be using to qualify comes from business.
