Scan dare is Jan 7

Any idea when to get CC?

My new scan date is Jan 8th, so based on others I will expect my CC in roughly 16-20 days.(2-3 weeks) So you should expect about the same (:

Sounds like a cool idea. Maybe do it on skype, it´s a bit better for more ppl :)

I got a checklist after my case approval, just stating my husband to prove relationship to my mom and my dads tax return from 2014 and not to contact nvc but send it to my husband and he can take it to the interview himself. They said while we schedule your case for a interview.. Soooo I hope I get a interview date quicker so my husband can take the missing stuff paperwork already.. Now I'm stressing.. ? I have my parents as co-sponsors since they have money and make way more than I do but I also sent my stuff from my work and I work at a bank..

Hi everyone! For those of you who have completed the 864, how did you know which version to use? Some are pretty obvious (child, widow...) but how did you choose between the I-864 and I-864ez. I read the conditions for both and both seem applicable to us. Our situation: for a spouse, single sponsoring, income from being self-employed (with the usual properties such as a car/owner of house with mortgage). Can someone please help?

Both are applicable to your case, but I think most would agree the ez is best if you don't have a joint sponsor because it is far EZ-er (sorry stupid pun..) But the ez has far less to fill out etc. (:

If you qualify for the 864EZ, then you qualify for 864. But because you may qualify for the 864 does not necessarily mean you qualify for the 864EZ. So, if you meet the 3 requirements for the EZ, then go ahead and use it as it is easier to complete.

Self employment does not generate W-2, therefore you do not qualify for I-864EZ. Unless you are incorporated and you are an employee of your own corporation earning a salary and of course the corporation is issuing W-2.

I am not an attorney, I am just interpreting the rules with common sense.

These are the requirements for I-864EZ:

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. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s).
