Yes it will be. A problem, and yes, if your income is zero, that's what you put on the I-864. You will also need a co-sponsor.

Can I stay ini the US if I lose my job and while we work on gathering the documents and submitting a family based petition?

  At this time, you have a nonimmigrant I-94 valid until October 2020 and an EB-1 I-485 which is currently pending. Even when the I-94 expires, you are still allowed to remain in the US by virtue of the pending I-485 application. It is up to you whether to continue to rely on your EB-1 I-485 or to switch to one based on marriage to a US citizen. I note that if you are a native of China, the current final action date for visa availability is 6/8/17 for the month of April. If you are born in India, visa availability is unfortunately backlogged to 5/1/15 for the same month.

Should they get married while he is visiting and apply for adjustment of status or should she get him a K visa and then adjust his status?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
There are advantages and disadvantages for each of the options you mentioned, beyond what can be discussed in a response that is just a few sentences long. Beyond that, there are legal issues relating to timing: a visitor's visa is exclusively for someone entering the U.S. with "nonimmigrant intent," i.e., an intention to remain temporarily in the U.S. and then depart. It is not lawful to enter with a visitor's visa with the intention of becoming married and then applying to remain permanently as a Permanent Resident (with a "Green Card"). Misuse of a visitor's visa can constitute visa fraud, with very serious immigration-related consequences. Nonetheless, it can be lawful to enter with nonimmigrant intent, and later have a change of mind and decide to become married and apply for Permanent Residency. There really is no substitute for your daughter and the man she is considering marrying to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain the couple's goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
