I864 all pages or just 1-7?

[sajan953 4]

Im a bit confused, so I have a quick question..

The I864 is composed of 12 pages. Instructions seem to say to staple together 1-7. Do i just not fill out 8-12 and jot include them at all? It seems like pretty important info, so I am a bit confused.

None of the pages should be stapled together, where did you read that??

Do not staple anything together. Send all pages even if they happen to be blank. Could you point out which instructions you're referring to?

Not seeing that in the instructions

Yeah when you search for the word Staple in the instructions, the only sentence with that word in there is about not putting anything over the 2D barcode, staples, marks, tabs, anything.

Please do not damage the 2D barcode (for example, puncture, staple, spill on, write on) as this could affect the ability of USCIS to timely process your affidavit.

With that said, no, fill out ALL appropriate information and put NA, N/A in anything that doesn't apply, but make sure to submit the application in it's ENTIRETY, because if they do not receive pages 1-12, it will not be considered complete. While you may know certain pages don't apply to you, THEY don't know that and would easily without question issue an RFE that would have been VERY avoidable.

How to Fill Out Form I-864

1. Type or print legibly in black ink.

2. If you need extra space to complete any item within this affidavit, use the space provided in Part 11. Additional Information or attach a separate sheet of paper; type or print your name and Alien Registration Number (A-Number) (if any) at the top of each sheet; indicate the Page Number, Part Number, and Item Number to which your answer refers; and sign and date each sheet.

3. Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed.
