Dallas filer here. It has been a year yesterday since priority date for me.  Hoping  there will be a new update any day from now. 

Also a Dallas filer with PD 02/2017 and still waiting.

We are still waiting in Dallas. It seems this year Texas has been incredibly slow.

Am I the only March filer who still has ZERO news of interview?

No. We were March 1st and still nothing. Also in Texas.

To clarify, did you not complete the Affidavit of Support when you submitted your original AOS?  We did (it was submitted with our AOS application in March of 2017), but since the interview notice also stated that we should bring in paystubs from last 2 months, most recent tax return, and letters confirming employment we did that too and I volunteered it but the interviewer said our Affidavit of Support had long been approved anyway so he didn't need it.  So if you already submitted it when you were working at your salaried job I would assume you're good to go.

 

If not, for a household of 2 people you just need to show you make $20,300. 

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-864p.pdf?download=1 If you have a tax return from last year with your salaried job income and ample savings such that you can live on them (at least temporarily while your business gets up and running) then you should be in the clear.  I would bring all I have regarding the business plan/ investors/ analysis of projected profit/ anything to show the business is legit, in case they ask. 

 

If you are not close to having enough, then you have two options:

 

1) If your husband works his income can also be used in the calculation via a contract (he would fill out this form and supply all the supporting documentation as per the instructions):  https://www.uscis.gov/i-864a

2) Another person can also file an Affidavit of Support as long as they (and you) agree to assume financial liability--they have to be citizens or permament residents, 18 and live in the states and would also need to fill out the regular Affidavit of Support (along with yours) and supply all the supporting documentation as per the instructions.

Hello! Thank you for your response. We have looked at our assets and see that it is enough for the x5 rule, meanwhile, I am going to look for new work. Thank you for your input! We hope to hear back on our interview date soon.

Hello, all! I hope this message finds you well. I am petitioning for my husband and was our sponsor on our Affadavit of Support. We are currently waiting for a notice on our interview date (hopefully, soon! We filed on 03/01/2017, waiting for interview since 04/17/2017) and I know many people are asked to bring in a letter from their current employer confirming employment and salary. However, I was recently let go from my salaried work (also the employer I submitted on our paperwork). I also started a business in June 2017 but have not yet been able to turn a profit from it and we are mostly living on our savings & the money I am earning from the business. I am concerned that since I am no longer employed and cannot show reasonable financial support anymore, his adjustment of status will not be approved. Does anyone have an idea of what I should do? All help is appreciated. Thank you.
