my university suggested that i need to fill 864, but reading the form it appears we may not need it.

we are Employment based with I-140 approved....planning to file EAD,AP & 485 concurrently

You do not need I864. It is only for FB cases. You have to use I-134. But some people skip even that also.
 
thanks tammy2...... i wonder why this confusion??......maybe because spouse is a dependent and one thinks that it comes under FB, but i am sure if 485 is not approved both are under EB....

---- you need to send I-134 Notarized for all dependents

Yes, and only I-134 and it really depends if dependants are 'REALLY" dependants, meaning they are H4s. If they are H1-Bs also, then you don't need to support them. If H1Bs then they can submit employment letter. Also I read somewhere that submitting employment letter with salary above poverty lines is enough prove for not becoming a public charge. And if you have dependants that are US citizen children you don't need to support them, or include them in I-134. Good luck!
