Given the current state of the economy, the inevitable has finally arrived and my company has layoff everyone in our dept. I know this will affect the filing of the AOS for my soon-to-be-wife. Did anyone has similar unlucky experience?

I think what matters the most is the I-864. Can I substitute liquid assets for job salary and I suppose I should put down "0" under 'Current Annual Income'?

Other than the I-864, are there any potential problems on the AOS because of my adverse circumstance?

well, your annual income for this year won't be zero unless you were let go on January 1st. So you still have annual income.

You can submit your last 3 years tax returns. Note that you do not have to submit payment stubs or anything else. It's just a suggestion.

You can use assets and you can also line up a joint sponsor.

Nothing I say is legal advice. I recommend you consult a qualified immigration attorney for any questions you may have.

Is it true that you will only need to multiply by 3 if the sponsor is a US citizen?

Yes! X 3

"The total value of all assets must equal 5 times (3 times for spouses and children of USCs ) the difference between the poverty guidelines and the sponsor's household income"

Assests acceptable: savings, checkings, cd's, stocks...If you count your paid-off house, you need an appraisal for current value.
