Getting ready to file

[Karma0 0]

My wife is the American and i'm Aussie. I have been living here in the USA married for 3 years. Due to financial issues it has been hard but now we have the means to get this done! We are just a little concerned about a few things and could use your advise please.

I more or less have all the paperwork ready to go including the new medical. (I-130 and I-485). Its the affidavit of support that im having trouble getting from someone other then my wife. She just got a great new job, we are just concerned that we need to wait before she can be counted as she starts the new job next wednesday 7th March 2012. Her previous job didn't meet the 125% poverty line however the new job is great. The Affidavit of Support is the only thing at this point stopping me from putting the package in the mail.

Any suggestions about what we can or should do at this point.

Do you have income or assets that can be counted? As her spouse, yours can be added to hers on the I-864 to meet the 125% requirement. If you do, you can do it that way, and also wait until after she starts her new job and show an employment letter from that one. With it being that new, I am not sure how the USCIS would deal with it, but supposedly current income is the most important thing.

You can try and find a co-sponsor. It can be any USC or LPR that resides in the US.

The aos comes alot later in the process. I did the I 130 and my, understanding is the nvc are the ones to ask for the aos. I had my case expedited u have to pay a fee even before u get the aos from nvc. I say start filing it usually takes 5 months just to get through the uscis

The OP is already in the US.
