since you guys got married within the 90 days, you are ok. Just file as soon as practical. There is no real timeline when you have to file for adjustment of status. You could have waited until the 89th day to marry and they dont expect you to file for AOS the next day.

How about getting a co-sponsor?

The consequences are that she's out of status. In practical terms, this doesn't really mean much. Obviously, she can't work or do anything else that requires proof of lawful presence, which probably includes getting a drivers license or enrolling in many publicly funded colleges and universities. If you have an encounter with any immigration officers then she could get jacked around for being out of status, but the chances of actually being placed in removal proceedings is extremely remote. It's DHS policy not to try to deport someone who is clearly eligible to adjust status.

You got married within the 90 days, so she's eligible to adjust status based on the K1. It won't make any difference if she's out of status at the time you send the AOS application. She's an immediate relative of a US citizen, so her status will not be relevant. Just don't wait too long because her life is effectively on hold until you get this done.

The OP was talking about adjustment of status not affidavit of support. Dang acronyms will get you everytime

The OP could borrow money, but that still doesn't help with the cutting of the work hours.

Getting a co-sponsor is good advice. Borrowing money is too. Once your wife gets an EAD, she can get a job to help out (even part time).

Well, one could surmise that AOS(Affidavit of Support) needed to file AOS (Adjustment of Status) is the issue as they need sufficient income for both paying the fees and proving-up not becoming a public charge.

Hi I guess were on same track...lol! I was here March 2010 and got married with my hubby 2 months after...due to his problems at work same as yours cut hours at work he only bring money at home less as what he used to have...because of that it took as many months to file my AOS which was the end of November that day filing fees increase ...but still thankful that it only cost $60 more than before...your wife is fine, though she's out of status but she can legally go anywhere as long as inside the US (but make sure she always bring her passport with her) wherever I go I carry it coz they doubt my age.lol! but she can't work not until she will have her EAD which I am waiting for now...so next week I will be having my biometrics dont worry everything is fine...but still hoping I will receive my work permit next month so I can change my SSN in my hubby's last name and can get my state ID...goodluck to you and your wife

GOD BLESS

Yep I know. I wasn't saying the individual was wrong recommending a co-sponsor. I just assume that the OP's hours werent cut enough to bring them below the poverty line...but I guess that could depending on how much the cut was. Of course it's bad to assume...because you know why. Hopefully they can get it all figured out.
