The petitioner has to meet the following criteria completely to use the EZ form. If you go through all three of them does your petitioner meet the criteria? If not then the petitioner should use the I-864 form.

"All three of the following are true:

  • You filed a Form I-130 petition for your relative,and
  • there is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition,and
  • all your qualifying income comes from a salary or pension and shows one or more W-2 Forms that you receive"

03/26/2014 Received a checklist regarding the birth certificate. This was previously provided in an email. Investigating what was wrong with the birth certificate.
03/26/2014 Called the NVC and was told this was likely because we accidentally submitted a "short form" birth certificate rather than a "long form", but we knew that wasn't the case.
