Question I-864W form

[James D 39]

My wife is the beneficiary and she earned 40 quarters while we were married, and I am a USC petitioning for her. We received NOA2 and are filling out a DS-260 and debating using the I-864W or I-864, both of which we qualify for. If we go the I-864w route - what documents beside the SSA annual statement do we need?

 

Thanks

Your wife worked/filed taxes in the USA?     If that is the case the I-864w would seem to be correct.     Need to print out a copy of her SSA statement and include it with the form.

Her last statement from SSA was in 2007 and it shows "qualified for benefits" and how much her wages were from 1989 to 2006. She has not retired and is not currently or ever received any benefits. I, USC, have retired and am receiving benefits since 2017.

 

If we manage to set up her SSA account online, will the benefits statement letter generated there be sufficient to support the I-864W? We will bring other financial docs to the interview, but I am unsure of what to send to the NVC.

 

Thanks!

I would think that should be good.  There are very few that can use the I-864W so I am no "pro from Dover" regarding this.
