I-864EZ ??

[NikLR 13,227]

I was looking at the requirements for this form.

All three of the following are true:

1. You filed a Form I-130 petition, for your relative
2. There is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition, and
3. All your qualifying income comes from a salary or pension and shows on one or more W-2 Forms that you receive

1> Yes

2> Yes

3>????

I don't understand what number 3 means. He was unemployed from Jan 2012 until Sept 2012. At his current job he would make under the 19k(ish) that is for the time period that is left in this year. His yearly salary, however, is quite a bit higher, but his W-2 for 2012 probably won't reflect that (Sept - Dec.) However, he made well over that in his last job (USAF) for the past 3 years and he will have the tax transcripts for those years and pay stubs from this year if needed. FYI, we are not going on assets at all, purely on salary and it states on his pay stubs exactly what is yearly salary is and it is above the 125%.

Can we still use the I-864EZ or does he have to use the regular I-864? I just don't want him to get and fill out the wrong form when I'm confused on the question and so is he.

I appreciate any help! Thanks again VJ!!

If you're not using assets to qualify, then yes, you qualify to use the I-864EZ. That third criteria is just saying the petitioner will be using income (from salary or pension) instead of using assets or savings to qualify.
