Hi Becca,

Sorry, I just noticed your post waiting for approval in the Immigration News forum so moved it here where it is more appropriate.

If your husband entered the US legally and you did not have the intentions of getting married when he arrived, he can apply to adjust his status to a permanent resident from within the US. He would submit an I-485 application form and you would include an Affidavit of Support form. You need to be able to show that you can afford to support him and the rest of your family at 125% of the poverty level, so if you are finding things financially tough, you may need to find someone who does meet the income requirements to co-sponsor him. You will find the information you need in the guides for AOS here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=307

Good luck to you and your family.

If you're finding the process very difficult and confusing then you may want to consider a least a consultation with an immigration attorney to get you started. Better to do that than try to muddle through and get things wrong. That's where you will run into trouble.
