The alien's income can be included on your I-864 if (i) he is working legally, and (ii) his income would continue from the same source after the green card was approved.

Well, as when he gets his green card the employer he is working through for his school will be where he works, permanetly...then it would continue.

I thank you, graciously.

We plan on filing next year for his green card (AoS from Student)--however, NOW he is a student enrolled in a CPT program that allows him to work, can his income be counted as part of mine when I file the Affadavit of Support for him?

My husband received, from his bank today, a copy form W-8BEN.

What is this forms purpose?

they are not asking from my parents, they are asking from HIS parents, whom do not reside in the country

Yes. I know this but what should it say. How long. Etc.

Both are 33. We are seeking from student to I would assume husband, as he and I are married.

he and i married. filing for aos. lawyer adviced to get approval letter from his parents in india.

i am lost. what should this entail. they have asked for my advice on this and i have nothing to tell because i dont know.

Easy look at the guide section, and the example forms, follow the instructions. See what others have done in the AOS section.

It is not as easy to look in the guide section. I can and have already done that.

When do you file what? All together? One thing at a time? If you can not answer a question, fair enough...but don't give the oblivious and obvious answer.

Filing for Green Card--Adjustment of Status...

What the heck do I need to do?

I am so lost it is not even funny. It is all so overwhelming and consuming.

The issue lies in it being India. My father in law has gone to court 3 times now, to secure this birth certificate. However, the judge pushes back the date, time after time and has now instructed the families attorney to a personal meeting at his home (the judges) where a bribery fee was discussed! To get a birth certificate? We had the original but we were going on vacation and me being me, required my husband bring all his documents with him, as to not have any issues while we take a flight and ended up in a horrible car accident and the original birth certificate was ruined. Epic fail move!!!

My husband and I are filing for a change of status, however he does not possess a copy of his birth certificate and it is looking near impossible to get. ( He is from India.) Thus, is it possible to file the paperwork and go through the process if there is not a birth certificate in the picture?

My husband does not have a physical birth certificate. We do not know if one exists. We know for a fact that his birth is registered and where it is registered in India. How would we go about getting a physical copy of this from India, while we are in the USA?

STOP doing that. Visas CAN and HAVE been denied for that. It is NOT like calling someone "Mommy or Daddy".

There are soecific and important differences in visas for fiancees and spouses. Many people have gotten married and when they find out the soouse visa takes longer to process they decide to misrepresent themselves as engaged. This is fraud and can result in visa denial and a lifetime ban for future visas.

You can call him "honey", "poopsie", "darling", "sweetheart" "snuggle bunny" whatever, but NOT "hubby" or any other term related to marriage.

You cannot "prove" you are NOT married. That is the problem. A CENOMAR only states that there is no record of a marriage in PIs, nothing else.

Lets be realistic. She can call him what ever she wants, REGARDLESS. How people take it in any situation, is on them.

How dare you chastise this person, when she is coming for help. You should be ashamed of yourself.

husband is here on student visa. we just noticed that his passport expired last month. how do we replace it. home country is india and we live in chicago

I have a hard time with as well, I can't figure out the equation.

Oh yes, let me add...I'm the citizen, he is the status holder...as well, I'm 2 months in to a political science degree to become an immigration attorney!

I am Jenn and happily married to the love of my life, about to hit the roller coaster of immigration! Granted, it is a process that scares me to the last bone in my body! All the paperwork, getting a co-sponser! Literally day one, all I have done is purged this website and printed off all the documents needed yet I've thrown up 4 times! The anxiety is that of exhilaration and a subtle amount of detriment! You will see me whine, you will see me cry but right now I honestly need people as a support system!!!!!

what is a joint sponser?

My husband and I met in November of 2010, moved in together in February of 2011, and married July of 2011. He is student, holding that status. However, with me the only one working, we are living off his minut income from India, my small paychecks and that debt I have incurred from a OVERLY gracious boss (racked up 12,000$ to him in the past year alone; we have decided to file for a change in his visa status...but no clue where to begin...so I contacted a lawyer, then got a brainy idea that I could do this myself. Looked online and it seems VERY easy, however, I need to know what is the proper thing I am filing for. He resides in the USA not abroad, we have everything together in our name as this IS a valid marriage. Is this a K-3 or am I filing for an upgrade of the visa he has
