Hi Everyone,

I am new in here as a member, but i have been around reading most helpful topics, but i still have some urgent questions i really wanna get answers to. Pls help!!!

I'm an F-1 student in the US, And i met my wife 7months ago, and we got Married last month (january 7th).

Based on the topics i read on this site, i understand now that we married, my status will change, so i wanna adjust my status, but my wife doesn't meet the poverty line. I also understand that in that case we have to get a co-sponsor.

My wife applied for a PELL GRANT and got approved. And now she wanna start a CNA Class.

But the Question is, is this GRANT is gonna affect us in any way? Please beautiful VJ members, i need your advice urgently as i dont wanna get if my wife's way unless i really have to.

Thanks in advace for your help.

My understanding is that Pell Grants are only used to help with college expenses and is not considered income. The money goes from the government straight to the school.

Yes i understand that too, Am sorry Maybe my question didnt come out right. What i meant was, Is, my wife applying for a Pell Grant for her studies gonna Disqualify her from being able to file for me, if we ready to file for adjustment of my status from F1 to Permanent Residence?

I am asking this because i had, if A Fiance depends on the government, he/she cannot petition anyone, even if he/she have a co-sponsor.

I'm really confused with this. Pls help!!!
