I have a question?? May be a stupid one but I want to make sure I do things right. Should I send the I-864 or the I-864EZ? I am only sponsoring my husband no other family members. I meet the income requirements collect no disability benefits and am not using any savings or assets. In what cases are you suppose to use the I-864 verses the I-864EZ?

If you qualify for the I-864EZ (which it sounds like you do), then I highly suggest you use that as it's a much shorter and easier form to fill out than the full-blown I-864.

Question about shipping notification from USCIS after NOA2 to actual nvc receiving the file....is there somewhere where I can search the average times for that? I don't see where it could be specified on the Immigration Timelines....if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome :)

Did you have to do anything special to get email notices from NVC?

Everyone will if they give the NVC both email addresses.

also many times they will email the petitioner based off of the email address for the G1145

sounds like the case is at the NVC and you can pay the AOS fees and send in the AOS package. I suggest doing the DS-261 ASAP!!
