This form is a legally binding contract between a sponsor and the U.
S.
Government, demonstrating that the intending immigrant has adequate financial support and is unlikely to become a public charge.
The 'EZ' version streamlines the process for eligible sponsors.
Key Requirements for I-864EZ:
- Single Sponsor: The sponsor must be the original petitioner of the immigrant visa petition.
- One Immigrant: The sponsor must be sponsoring only one intending immigrant.
- Income Source: The sponsor's income must be sufficient and derived solely from their salary or wages, as reported on Form W-2.
- Financial Responsibility: The sponsor is responsible for supporting the intending immigrant at an income level at least 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (or 100% for active-duty military petitioning for their spouse or child).
- Legally Binding: This obligation typically lasts until the immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked for 40 qualifying quarters (approximately 10 years) in the U.S.
- Documentation: Sponsors must provide their most recent Federal Income Tax Return (Form 1040) and W-2 forms as proof of current employment income.
