i-864EZ vs i-864

[qwertyhelp]

Hi everyone.

I'm not sure if someone has the same scenario with me before but, I received a mail from USCIS asking for initial evidence. The letter said "a review of form i-864EZ" It also stated that we're not eligible for i-864EZ and that we should submit Form i-864 . What is the difference between these two? And will it be a huge hassle in our process along the way? Thank you, guys!

Hi, Are you the only person being sponsored at the same time? We used form I-864EZ because I’m the only applicant of I-485 in my family and also the only one being sponsored by my spouse(the petitioner of I-130) and it was accepted. Good luck!

Here are the guidelines below. if you are the only one being sponsored perhaps the income is not sufficient.



Who May Use Form I-864EZ?

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;

2. The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on Form I-130; and

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 employers.

When Not To Use Form I-864EZ?

Do not use Form I-864EZ if any of the following conditions apply. Instead, you must complete and submit Form I-864.

1. The relative you are sponsoring is not the only person immigrating based upon the underlying visa petition.

2. You filed or are filing Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, for the immigrant you are sponsoring.

3. You are a joint sponsor.

4. You are a substitute sponsor filing because the original Form I-130 petitioner is deceased.

5. Your salary or pension is not enough to meet the income requirements as set by the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Thank you all for your replies. I have a lawyer that represents us during the filings. I assume he sent a wrong form or missed something. Im just worried that's all.
