I appreciate everyone's help with this. Going to go ahead and exclude my income from the I-864.

Does this emoji shaking it's head from left to right indicating "no" mean that I should not include my income?

The biggest issue will be whether you falsely claimed to be a USC in order to take up the employment. 

My employer did not make me fill out an i-9 it's a local small business. So I had no opportunity to do so and I would never do that as I'm well aware of the consequences.

I read this with the source below:

"To count the intending immigrant’s income, he or she must either be residing with the sponsor or be the sponsor’s spouse. But in all circumstances the intending immigrant’s income must be derived from “lawful employment in the United States or from some other lawful source that will continue to be available to the intending immigrant after he or she acquires permanent resident status.” 8 CFR § 213a.1. USCIS clarified that this means “authorized employment,” or that performed while the worker had an employment authorization document."

This is exactly what I saw as well. I live with my wife, but currently working without authorization. So I'm assuming I should not include this income?

Usually only the petitioner files the I-864.   I'll have to check the instructions when I'm not on the road.  

There is a section for the intending immigrant as well, but everything I read online says you cannot include income earned while working unauthorized

Tell the truth on everything.   One misrepresentation will kill the whole thing.  

I completely agree, but my question is specifically on the I-864 and my income. I have read that you cannot include income from work done without proper authorization. So this is my dilemma. 

Hello everyone,

Here is a quick little background on my issue:

I'm a visa overstay, I arrived into the country legally in 1996 with my parents and was inspected and have my i-94 record. Fast forward to today I'm 28 and have now been married to my US citizen wife for around 4 months. I'm doing a concurrent filling and have our i-130, i130a. i-485, and i-765 ready to go.

My issue arises with my i-864 im not sure if i should include my income here or not since im currently working without proper authorization. My wife makes enough to cover the poverty line requirements, but I'm not sure what to do as far as my income because i told the truth on my other forms and listed my current employer and answered yes to if i have worked without proper authorization and included and explanation. Can someone please advise me? Thank you.

Good Morning everyone,

I'm a overstay and adjusting my status through marriage to my US citizen spouse. I'm currently working on my i-485 application and I'm stuck on question 23.c. "Status on form I-94" my visa on my passport says R B1/B2. Should I just type B1/B2 for that question?

Also question 22.a. "Was inspected at a port of entry and admitted as (for example, exchange visitor; visitor, waived through; temp worker; student):" Since my visa type is R  B1/B2 and I overstayed this would go under "visitor"?

Thank you.
