US Immigration from Taiwan

My husband (USC) and I (immigrant) are preparing docs for marriage green card aos. My husband earns around $10000 in 2020. According to poverty guideline 125%, his annual income needs to be $21550 to meet i864 requirements. So we are planning to use assets to be qualified. I know that to use assets, the amount has to be three times the difference between the 125%of poverty guideline for two people and the sponsor's annual income if he's only sponsoring me (his spouse).

So based on this, below is my calculation:

We will need ($21550 - $10000)*3, which is $34650 worth of assets if we want to use assets to meet the i864 requirement.

Please let me know if my calculations and understanding are correct on this.

Thank you!

For people who applied for an EAD card with your green card aos application in 2020, what does the timeline look like? How long after you filed did you receive your EAD card?

Thanks!

I am currently on F1 first year OPT. I plan to send out my marriage-based green card AOS in the end of October 2020. I am wondering if my green card EAD card hasn't come before my current opt EAD card expires in May 2021, am I able to apply for OPT stem extension while I have a green card application in progress? How will USCIS find out if I file an OPT extension while having a pending gc application?

My main concern is my job. If my OPT expires before I can get the green card EAD then I may lose the job due to not having the right to work. And I am not sure how long green card EAD would take now due to the pandemic.

Let me know if anyone has applied for OPT stem extension while having a pending gc application!

Is it okay if I change jobs during the k1/green card process?

Hi,

My husband (USC) and I (F1 OPT) are preparing docs for marriage-based AOS. He is currently unemployed, but his 2019 tax return is above the poverty guideline. I am currently employed and my income is above the poverty guideline. We don't much asset. We aren't able to find a co-sponsor either.

I have had two consultations with two immigration lawyers to ask if it's too risky if we file i864 with only my income (we live in the same household). Their answers are both " it should be fine." I just want to know if anyone on this forum has had similar situation as we are and what was your experience when filing aos using only the intending immigrant's income?

Thank you!
