AOS being on disability

[O & C 3]

Hello everyone, I need to know if I need to have co-sponsor when we do our AOS. I was self-employed didn't need on before, but now I am on disability. I just got the letter this week and our wedding day is Jan. 22nd. So do I need to get a co-sponsor? As always thank you for your help.

It will depend on your income level. You will need to meet 125% of the poverty guidelines for a household of your size (the two of you only =2, two of you plus child = 3; two of you plus children = 4+) . If you don't meet that level of income and can't make it up through assets at the ratio of 3:1, then you will need a co-sponsor.

Are you on SSDI or private disability insurance?

Everything I've read says that SSDI is an earned benefit, so it should qualify as income for an affidavit of support. In spite of that, I've seen people post here that USCIS refused to consider their SSDI citing something about "taxable income", and told them to get a joint sponsor. If you have a joint sponsor who is both qualified financially and willing to submit an affidavit of support, I would have them prepare their affidavit and be prepared to submit it if it's requested.
