Hello everyone! First I want to say that I've thoroughly read through this forum and found answers to some of my questions, but I haven't seen a case exactly like my wife's, so I felt it would be more comforting to ask the experts about our specific problem.
My wife entered the states ten years ago with her family when she was 13 on a Tourist visa. The visa has obviously since expired. She has graduated high school and even earned an associates degree! We met over a year and a half ago, and we got married and moved in together in January of 2010.
My main question is: How necessary is it to file an i-130 and i-485 at the same time? Our income is tight and we really can only afford to send in the i-130 right now. Will this cause an issue due to her overstay status?
Also, I am a college student and work only part time and am supported by my parents. They will have no problem filing as a joint sponsor of my wife. Do I need to send in an I-846 with the rest of the paperwork? I read on an FAQ from this site that they request this information after the initial paperwork process. Is that true?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Overstayed wife, will there be issues?
