What visa will the beneficiary apply for (i.e. what is their relation to the petitioner)? This will determine how long it takes for the PD to become current.

My wife applied for greencard. I would like to know if she can get work permit once her I130 is approved?

subsection “If You Can’t Meet the Minimum Income Requirements”

Actually this says it’s only 3 times if the person being sponsored  is a spouse or son/daughter of a citizen.  As you are a LPR, nightingalejules was originally correct and the 5x rule applies:

You may add the cash value of your assets. This includes money in savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and property. To determine the amount of assets required to qualify, subtract your household income from the minimum income requirement (125% of the poverty level for your family size). You must prove the cash value of your assets is worth five times this difference (the amount left over).

 

 

Thank you. Thanks guys

You'll probably hear back on the I-130 in a few more months.

That said, your PD likely won't be current until around Sept. 2019. The petition won't proceed past NVC until the PD is current.

That has the minimum income level. There is no maximum level or a minimum level to guarantee that it will satisfy the IO.

The CO looks at the totality of the circumstances. That said, current income is king, and you must at least meet the minimum level with current income.

If you change jobs to one that makes less - or reduce hours - then your current income will be affected accordingly. Current income for an employee is how much they make in a 12 year period (which can differ from what they are expected to make at the end of the tax year).

 

Assets can be used in lieu of, or in conjunction with, income.

It's a minimum of 3x for a spouse.

Thanks. Could you please provide a link for where it says I need to have 3 times the difference in savings?

Hello everybody,

I am a permanent resident and my wife is on F1 visa status. We got married and filed I-130 on September 2017. When should we expect to hear anything from immigration regarding my wife's AOS? Also, how much money should I be making for me to be able to show I can support her and for what year will I need to show my income? Will it be just one year or will they look at multiple years? I am asking this because I am planning to go to school starting next month, December 2018 and wont be making as much money. If I do not make a lot of money starting next month, what can I do to make up for it? Will bank savings work?

Thanks

how is she working if she is on a student visa? plus the petition takes over 2 years, so no need to worry now about financial situation, until next year

My PD is March 7, 2017... still waiting. I am assuming it should be expected this month... thoughts?

mine is Sept, 2017

She has work permit through TPS. I have another question she is going to graduate on 2019 and she will have OPT till mid 2020. Does she have to join college as soon as she finishes her education.

Hello everybody,

I have a green card and I married my girlfriend on Sept 2017. She is on F1 Visa and we applied for her green card on the same month. She works full time and I am starting college soon so will not be working most of the times.

I have been told that I should make at least $24000 and above so as to show I can support her which I will not be able to do. What other alternatives do I have for this? I read somewhere that we could use her earnings as financial support and can also show our bank accounts with some amount in it. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
