Friends,

My wife has a GC, she can only file I130 first, no I485 until
I130 is approved. Do we need to also file Form I-864, Affidavit of Support
together with I-130?

Thanks
 
Assuming that you are saying your wife will file a 130 for you, no you do not file the Affidavit of Support with your 130. With a 130 your wife only establishes you a relative for whom she intends to file for a 485. So you would only need 130, copies of your marriage cert etc, copies of the g-325A and other supporting documents. Check the uscis site or the 130 filing instructions for more info. 864 is only needed when you file a 485 for yourself on the basis of the 130 already applied (and even approved in some cases).

I-864 goes with the I-485.
