i used the I-864 but i dont know which one you need to use maybe it works different for each country. call the NVC and they will tell you which one to use for sure.

good luck

This is the instructions taken from I-864EZ

Who May Use Form I-864EZ?

You may use Form I-864EZ IF ALL the following conditions

apply:

1. You are the person who filed or is filing the Form I-130,

Petition for Alien Relative, for a relative being sponsored;

2. The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on

the Form I-130 petition;

3. 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).

So use I-864EZ if YOU ONLY is the sponsor of the ONLY ONE beneficiary. If you have a joint sponsor use I-864. I hope it helps.

You can file either one. The I-864EZ is "easier" to fill out than the I-864 but they both serve the same purpose. I filled out form I-864 for my husband for his CR1 visa even though I was the only petitioner, he was the only beneficiary and the info was based on my tax return and salary info. The reason I used I-864 was because I was not aware that the I-864EZ existed.

So it's no big deal.
