Hey all,
I've read through this thread and would like to ask another I-864 related question.
We are currently preparing for the NVC stage after submitting our I-130 Standalone/Consular filing.
Once we get to NVC, it's DS-260 and I-864 from what I gathered... but... which I-864?
I am confused about the different forms at this stage: I-864, I-864EZ, I-864A.
Situation: Sponsor is active military US Citizen currently living in the US filing for beneficiary abroad.
I-864EZ states:
You may use Form I-864EZ if ALL the following conditions apply:
1. You are the person who filed or is filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for a relative being sponsored; <<< That would be my husband (petitioner) filling out the I-864 and he filed the I-130, so I guess MET?
2. The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on Form I-130; and <<< I am the only beneficiary on I-130, no children or stepchildren
3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-2s provided by your employers or former employer <<< means if we supply the past 3 IRS tax returns or tax transcripts and are over poverty line, we are fine?
... so, do we file I-864EZ? Or is there any downside and we should just go with I-864?
