Hi everyone!

Me and my Husband just got married last July 2013. My husband a green card holder is an Auto Technician College student who is receiving Financial Support from the U.S. government. He quit his job so that he can go to College to have better education and better future for our family. Can he petition me as his wife to the U.S.? Can joint affidavit of Support can help us? is being a Financial Support Beneficiary can affect our approval rate?

Hello, you might want to start off by reading this useful CR-1 guide on VJ: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1

If your husband cannot support you financially, you are correct in assuming that you will need a joint sponsor. You only need to show this at the time of the interview, though. When does he finish college?

OP, may want to change your profile to read F2A which is the visa spouses of LPRs get - they don't get IR/CR-1 visa.

Also moving this topic to Bringing family members of LPRs forum.
