NVC process - Deciding on I-864EZ instead

[misr 0]

Hello everyone,

I have given much thought to this and dont recall reading anywhere that I have to file I-864 only. Looks like if I qualify, I can use I-864EZ form as well. I have the W2 and tax return transcripts for past 4 years with current employment and history of pay stubs. Feel like I have enough to go ahead and use the EZ form instead.

Any of you know this will cause me to get RFE. Also, I am not in rush as well. What do you think?

Please let me know specifically if you know that I have to only file I-864 form.

Good luck to you all and thanks,

I too plan on doing the EZ form, and I qualify. I wonder how many have used this form with no problems. Good Luck

Thanks marie620 for posting your response. Since you are too far head of us, I will definitely take your cue and file with I-864EZ as well.

Just got anxious having not heard anything about using this form from anyone and hence decided to open the topic.

And Good luck to you. BTW, how did the interview go - you did not update your signature I guess.

Hello Misr. Everything went along really well ... UNTIL the Interview. My husband was denied and we are working on getting that changed. I have posted awhile back which I update regulary as we move forward with this process.

Best of luck to you and may this journey be quick for you!
