I’m a little confused and just needed some more info. If I’m filing for my husband that’s overseas  (I’m a u.s citizen) should I fill out a I864 form or a i864ez. I’m not using a joint sponser I’m jus using my income. Thanks in advance!

If you are only sponsoring one immigrant (just your husband, no step-children), using your income only (no joint sponsor) then you can use I-864EZ.

you can use I-864 if these three things applies

1.  you are the petitioner  of the family member being sponsor

2. the sponsor immigrant is the only one immigrating based on the underlying visa petition

3. you are using your own earn or retirement income

 

I-864ez is a lot easier to fill out and less room for mistake

when I file for my wife that is what I used

Correct, provided it is employment income, not self employment income.
