I-864

[jessibicho 0]

Our "package 4" never arrived. We have decided to print the forms that we need from the USCIS website. Apparently we need the I - 864 and Ds - 230. My question is this on the USCIS website for the forms there are several options/versions of the I - 864 (I think there is an I -864A, I -864 package and one that is something between household members). Which one do I do? I also have to do the co - sponser.

Also where can I get the forms for the Authorization of Federal Tax review?? I have read that we have to submit one of these with the tax returns on the I 864.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi, the I864A is the contract between household members. You need this if you have a joint sponsor who lives in the same household as the petitioner.

You probably want the I864 package as it comes with instructions and the I864A. It's all in it!

There is another I864 without instructionsand the other form, too, that's why there is 3 different ones.

jess,

Since you are filing via DCF, you do not need the Authorization document (unless the Consulate asks for it, but I've not heard of it for a case filed overseas).

D/L the entire I-864 package as germangel suggests. Use the part you need, discard the -A if you don't need it.Your Joint Sponsor will need their own I-864. If the Joint Sponsor has a spouse who will also be contributing their income (or they have jointly filed tax returns), they may want to look at the I-864-A as well.

Thanks to both of you !! I really appreciate it
