Hi everyone,  This is the situation 

 

My Wife (Us Citizen) , my  child 2 years old (Us Citizen) and I (Mexican Citizen)   live in mexico, we want to move to the US but my wife can´t be my sponsor because she never work in the US and here in mexico she rise our child  and also we dont have a joint sponsor.

 

We want to do a DCF but whiout sponsor is not a option.

 

i think the only option we have is that my wife need to move to de US work some time and then ask for me.

 

But i want to know if there some options? or if you have some tip or anything would help.

Thanks in advice.

 

PS: Srry for the bda english, i hope you can understand

In your situation,  USC establishing income and domicile beforr the visa is about it

YMMV

That is the only solution that I see other than finding a joint sponsor already in the US.

Not a viable option for much longer.  Mexico City will close by the end of the  year, maybe sooner.

Then they only option is for her to move back and get a job that make enough to cover your sponsorship.

 

This will also make DCF less likely, timewise.

No she doesnt , we have savings.

 

My plan is that she arrive in the US with money and a place, then she get a Job. My son and i would stay in mexico , i already have a work and a bachelor degree in computer science, when my wife can ask for me and i can work legally in the us would be time to move. 

 

Its kind a difficult because idk how much time need to work to can afford de Household size.

Well there’s your answer. She comes to the US, she gets a job, once she starts earning she files for you, once your visa is approved you come to the US.

Are your children over the age of 21? If no then your household size would be 4 which (Assuming she would be moving to the 48 contiguous states) would be $32,187.00. 

Is it really that hard to find a job that pays over that?

Sorry misread I thought you had two children. So the amount for a household of 3 is $26,662.

 

You haven't stated a reason why you want to move to the US or where in the US you would move. According to the VJ timelines its taking about 423 days to from the date of the NOA1 to the interview so you will be separated from your wife as she will need to work and establish a US domicile. Keep in mind $26,662 is going to be nowhere near a comfortable life for a family of 3 in most of the US

Savings can be used to offset the income requirement.  With assets of about $80k (actually 3x the income requirement) she can sponsor you on assets alone.

But absent a joint sponsor/assets your assumption is correct.  She has to return, establish residency and income, and petition for you.

Is your child a USC?
