i864ez says that I do not qualify and must submit i864.

[JSF 0]

Today, I received a message from NVC saying that the i864ez I submitted is invalid because I do not qualify for it. They said that I must submit the i864 instead. It also says in the message and I directly quote, " FINANCIAL SPONSORSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES: Financial sponsors, joint sponsors, and applicants should be aware of responsibilities when signing an I-864 and the consequences for a sponsored immigrant's acceptance of federal means-tested public benefits. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos."

However, my w2 tax returns and other financial documents such as w2 and proof employment/paystubs were accepted. In 2022, I was studying full time and only resumed work in November so my salary on the w2 is $8096. However, my expected income as stated on my form is $64000. As aforementioned, I have uploaded my pay stubs from November, 2022 to now.

 

They accepted the w2 tax returns, pay stubs and job offer letter. (For the i864ez, it said invalid) Does it mean that I met the financial requirements though they are asking me to do the i864 instead? Please note, I have uploaded the i864 but did not include assets as my income for 2023 will be $64000. And as I said, every paystub from November 2022, I have uploaded.

 

Does it mean that I met the financial requirements though they are asking me to do the i864 instead?

You're not suppose to submit I864EZ. Please submit another I-864 package.

You should not assume that you meet the financial requirements just because they asked you to submit the I-864.

 

All it means is that they want the correct form.

 

If the rest of the material was accepted, then you should just have to send the I-864 without all of the attachments.

 

It may mean that they saw the wrong form and stopped looking at that point.

I am not assuming. I am just asking a question. -_-

Ah.  Sorry about that.  My answer is, probably not.  They *might* have processed it all the way through and determined you were all set financially, but they still want the correct form.  I think it more likely that they saw the wrong form and stopped at that point.

 

I can't give you a definite answer.
