No, She don't work here yet.

If she has assets you can use those. Did she sell a property to move here? Had an inheritance?

Hi guys, i need help. I hardly can't keep a job. We haven't file the AOS yet due to my job issues and financial.

Can she file for self petition to get a green card?

No she is your responsibility. This is the purpose of a sponsor so you wont be dependent on the US government.

 

K1 visas are more expensive because the adjustment of status form is 1200US. 

 

Consular processing is nearly 500US in IV and AoS fees.

More planning should have been done in advance. I personally am tired of seeing people going through this process only to realize later that at every stage it costs, one - money, two, they have to be able to sponsor and prove financially they can support someone. If someone can't even afford the AOS fees and prove sponsorship, how are they honestly bothering to keep up a foreign relationship and international travel? Plan a head!!

OR file the I551 and come here and work instead of waiting to Adjust status and then work.

Furthermore, it's unknown how much unlawful presence OP's wife has (if any). That could complicate the IR-1/CR-1 path I assume you are referring to.

seeing that she and you have to prove married and commingling finances ,  How could she sponsor if you 2 can't afford it ?

that means "if you can't afford to do this?  where is the money to come from?   she can not work yet?"

Well how would she then self sponsor. If you don't make enough you need to get a joint sponsor.

Did you sponsor her for K-1? Did you use a cosponsor? 

If you used a cosponsor, you can just them as a joint sponsor, but I heavily recommend getting things together and figuring it out. AOS is 1225$, you have to make enough to sponsor her (21,137$ for a household of 2 (you and your wife), 26,662$ for a household of 3 (you, your wife and a dependant) etc More Info Found here , and in 2 years she will have to remove conditions on her Green Card and that will be another 680$.

I had a joint sponsor for my husbands AOS, but I was working at a grocery store and took whatever hours they could give me to make sure we were financially fit. I jumped jobs once a better job was offered to me, but I was willing to stay at a job I -hated- because having money is kind of important.

How did you do that "more info found here" trick?? that's cool
