thanks to all of you for the reply. After checking many options, we decided that doing online freelance, time to time, plus assets is the way to go for us. In the worst case scenario, if freelance wouldn't work at all (like literally zero), some low-pay part-time work would be ok. But we think that online freelance wont be zero, because she already tried it out, and it was ok. We decided that she stays like up until January-February on her current high salary job, just to make a bulk of what she can earn for the next year, so she would make like 10-15g in Jan-Feb 2023, and then she quit, and start her freelance account. Then she is just basically self-employed for the rest of 2023 and nobody cares when and how much in reality you work per day. So even if she earns like 1-2g for the whole 2023 on freelance, her assets and the bulk earned in Jan-Feb 2023 will cover the difference. How do you feel about it? Technically she will show that the current income combined with the assets is sufficient, and she just made a transition for the freelance. Just to be super specific what I mean. Jan-Feb 2023 she earned 12g on her main job, then she quits and starts freelance immediately, and make like 500dollars per month doing freelance, so we can extrapolate $500x10month=$5000 she will make in 2023 on freelance. So she has to cover with the assets the following: 5 * ( "125%HHS of 3" - current income) = 5 * ( $28787 - $12000-$5000) = $58935. So she has those assets. Sounds good? What do you think about it? -

Thank you for reply. Then the assets formula for our case is 5* ( "125%HHS of 3" - current income) In the case of zero current income it equals: 5 * ( "125%HHS of 3" - current income) = 5 * ( $28787 - 0) = $143935 1) In instructions for i-864, it is stated that "... have enough income and/or assets". As I understand this "OR", it means that the sponsor can use the assets as the only means of the affidavit if they are sufficient. Am I correct ? 2) If the first it true, this means that the sponsor can be unemployed, and the affidavit is successful as long as sufficient assets are shown. Am I correct? I haven't found any explicit statement in the instructions that the sponsor has to be currently employed in any circumstance.

Quote from instructions for i-864. "Item Number 10. Total Value of Assets. In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size. However, if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or child age 18 years of age or older, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference " Am I correct in the following? 1) Am I correct, that the above means, for LPR petitioner, the difference has to be 5 times? 2) Am I correct, that the above considers 100% of HHS Poverty Guidelines, not 125% of HHS Poverty Guidelines? Because 125% is not mentioned in this rule. 3) If both 1) and 2) are correct, then for LPR petitioner case, with zero current income, with HHS of 3 the following is true: According to https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p, for HHS of 3, 100% of HHS: $23,030 So, the Total Value of Assets must be more than $23,030*5 = $115,150

She's been working during her whole pregnancy, and only got 3 month for fmla leave after the birth. Now she is forced to work 17 months more, just because of those insane processing time. Well, that's unfair. Yes, she hates her job, and just wants to leave for whatever reason. Both baby siting and doing her moonlighting business IT project are great things to do and can be combined as far as she enjoys it. I blame only myself, because I am a looser who didn't managed to find a sponsor, or earn enough money to make satisfying assets, and yes, I also did not foreseen that she had to work during the whole processing time. We thought somehow, once we've done with the application, that's it. I can blame only myself.

Thank you so much. You are the first person, who understands the problem in it's emotional nature. Moms want to sit with the babies! It's an animal instinct. I support my wife's decision and will do my best. About EAD expedite. I've been recently approached by US HR recruiter, who saw my linkedin page, and we had short phone interview. At the end he asked me about my work permit situation. I replied that maybe I will get EAD in a month or so (although in reality it can be much longer, it is 8months waiting time according to USCIS @80% of cases). So the HR replied like, please contact me ASAP as you get EAD and then we are talking (no further interview, no job offer), even-though I was told my CV is a perfect match for the position. So, can I use the private mailing with HR as a ground for the expedite request for EAD? If not, could you suggest me, how can I get the job offer, or make HRs admit me for the technical interviews at least? Thank you. So, is it allowed at all, to look for the job in US, while EAD is pending? Cause It implies that I have to answer the question about EAD (and I guess, lying about EAD to HRs is a bad practice). How would you deal with this loop?

If only those sponsors were growing on the trees))) I have no clue how people get them. My wife is LPR we do not have relatives in the US. Just a few friends, I think I will just confuse them if ask them about sponsorship. It's a mystery to me, how people get sponsors, or at least always suggest it as the easiest option. Also my wife wants to start her IT company (that's one of the reason she wants to quit). We were thinking, if she can pay herself a salary from her savings (self-funding), as being the owner and the employee at the same time at her own company? Is this fine if she would demonstrate this as the income. Another option, we do not know, if she can just use her savings account and the investment account as the proof that she has sufficient amount of money, at least for the year of not working elsewhere.

Regarding the question of LPR and I-485 feasibility, I highly encourage you to read this thread. azblk was correct, which was proofed by 2 cases there. None examples of the disproof.

Thank you for the reply. Am I correct, that once I get work permit and a well paid job (well above the guideline), it would be no problem if my sponsoring wife quits her job? So I just present my pay stabs on the interview, if they ask about the current financial situation?

yes, if the bulletin is current for the beneficiary (I am not a lawyer, they have different opinions about this)

Our case is I-485(AOS) family-based, was submitted in June 2022 together with I-864 affidavit of support. The questions: my wife (the petitioner and the sponsor) wants to quit her job, and do not work for a about 6-12months while we are waiting for the interview invitation. Can this negatively affect our interview and our case? Do they ask for any documents regarding the current income and active job on interview? All was fine for the moment of our application, but is the sponsor expected to maintain her sufficient income during the whole processing time (which is around 20months for our field office)? Details: My wife, LPR, is the only sponsor. She has been working in USA for more than 2 years, having a decent annual salary that is several times higher than the poverty guideline. For the form I-864 she showed with her tax report this decent situation for the year 2021. We estimated, that even if she quits right now in September, her income for this year 2022 is far above the guideline. She wants to quit and do not plan to work for about a 6-12months, because she wants to sit with our 6m old baby. Our family can live on her savings for about the same amount of time. I am ready to start the work as soon as I got the work permit (but still waiting). I am highly grateful for any answers and suggestions.
