If he files even 1 day late he will automatically lose his GC and USCIS will begin removal proceedings unless he has an excellent reason for being late.

Not having the money don't count!!!

Other wise ! Beg, borrow or get the $545 anyway you can,.

There is no "as long as you're....[blank]..It's OK" kind of deal. No extension (of time), nothing.

Do what ever is necessary to file or lose all the time, work and effort afforded so far. Not to sound all gloom-n-doom, but...

I have good news.

Yes, you MUST file. But you can also file for a fee waiver.

Info here:

Or if that doesn't work, uscis.gov -> Immigration Forms (along top) -> Fee Waiver Guidance (along right).

I would not wait to get started. Get the I-751, fill it out and get all the supporting documentation you can to prove you are happily married and living together....pictures, affidavits, bank statements, lease, mortgage, insurance (car, health, life), utility bills. Anything with both of your names on it.

Then include a fee waiver request with all the documentation you can get. Previous earnings statements and present statements to show the difference in salary. Cover all the points in detail as listed in the above reference from queendlee.

Submit everything in the same envelope, divided into two sections.

Good luck.
