e from the previous requirement of being valid for one year). In other words, ap
plicants will no longer need to submit a new I-864 AOS or new tax forms due to l

ax returns are acceptable. The tax return or copy should be signed.
Form I-864EZ Affidavit of Support: A sponsor may use the shorter form I-864EZ in
place of Form I-864 if all of the following applies:

There is no need for a joint sponsor or a Form I-864A;
The affidavit of support is filed on behalf of only one intending immigrant;
The sponsor is seeking to qualify based on the sponsor's own income alone (not o
n the basis of assets);
All of the sponsor's income being counted on the AOS is shown on IRS Form W-2.
