Is it ok to divide by 2 the total income reported on line 22 of 1040?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In general, the actual earnings of the individual who signs the Affidavit of Support will be controlling. Beyond showing a Form 1040 as evidence of the Affiant's income, Forms W-2 or similar evidence should be supplied. If your wife individually does not earn sufficient income to meet the requirements, then it may be necessary to have a joint sponsor, and if you are a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident you may serve as joint sponsor. The Affidavit of Support is just one of the details in the family-based immigration process that can be quite complicated. It would be wise for your family to engage an immigration attorney to help assure that the case is prepared and pursued properly.

Can I adjust my status in the US after I marry a green card holder?

Not right away. There is about a 3 year wait for priority dates to be current. File the I-130 immediately to get a place in line.

Someone who entered lawfully and with inspection - for example on an F-1 student visa - and who then falls out of status, nonetheless may adjust status in the U.S. through marriage to a U.S. Citizen. Upon filing the application, his "status" becomes "Applicant for Permanent Residence" and he is deemed to be lawfully in the U.S. while his application remains pending and not subject to arrest/removal/deportation One exception: where the F-1 visa holder never attended the school and the USCIS deems him to have used the F-1 visa fraudulently.
