I864 EXPIRES 9/30!

[helpneeded 0]

What gives? I called USCIS (800) 3 times and got 3 different answers.

1. "The new one is coming out soon."

2. "It is a valid form- that is the revised date...just use it." WRONG

3. "It must be received by 9/30- wait for the new one to be safe...even if we get it close to that date, they might reject it and ask you to submit the new form."

Do they realize they are dealing with people lives?

Anyone have any idea? I can't use the new I864EZ because most of my income is NOT from my W2 ("b") but from my self employment 1040.

Thanks.

I say use it. If you look at the last column (edition date) in the list of forms it says you can also use one from '98, 2000 or 2001.

Correct, If they will accept prior editions of the form going back the January 1998 revision of the form they will accept the most recent one also.

Service Center 1/15/06. 11/05/01, 09/26/00, 01/21/98 also acceptable through 10/19/06.

See USCIS Forms Table and refer to the last column in the row for I-864: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/index.htm

I agree with the last two posters.

I am in the same situation and am planning to use this form. Most probably, I won't be able to send it before the 9/30, and will therefore check if there is a new form at that date... But I hope to file it before, and I agree with the last posters, it should be accepted.
