Hello...

Getting a late start on the AOS, my wife and I married July 27, 2019, and are just now submitting her AOS.  

My question deals with finances.  I make well above the amount needed for what is considered my household, about 46,000, except in 2017 where it was under the 27000 mark.  I was told that because of the 2017 amount we might get denied.  I truly don't understand the reason behind that, it was three years ago!  

 

Also, I have a daughter, who has not lived with me in years, and she will be 18 next month, and the Aos papers have her as part of my household, which clearly she is not.  And her, being a third person is what messes us up for 2017.  

I am really nervous about this, any one have any thoughts on this?   Should we wait to file when she is 18, what would be the best thing to do in this situation?   Or does 2017 really matter?

Thank you

Thank you 

Your spouse has been illegal for the past year. You should file ASAP; why in earth people jeopardize the status of their “loved” one I have no idea. Who told you you she would be denied for what you made in 2017? USCIS doesn’t care if you made $0 in 2017, what matters  is what you make TODAY. Current income is what they are looking for. If you weren’t denied the k1 for what you made in 2017 what would be the logic she would be denied For AOS?

You're not even required to show 2017 income, why would she get denied for that?

 

For the household size, just follow what the instructions says: 

 

"Item Number 4. Type or print the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children. You may exclude any unmarried children under 21 years of age, if these children have reached majority under the law of their place of domicile and you do not claim them as dependents on your Federal income tax returns."
