My husband and I met in November of 2010, moved in together in February of 2011, and married July of 2011. He is student, holding that status. However, with me the only one working, we are living off his minut income from India, my small paychecks and that debt I have incurred from a OVERLY gracious boss (racked up 12,000$ to him in the past year alone; we have decided to file for a change in his visa status...but no clue where to begin...so I contacted a lawyer, then got a brainy idea that I could do this myself. Looked online and it seems VERY easy, however, I need to know what is the proper thing I am filing for. He resides in the USA not abroad, we have everything together in our name as this IS a valid marriage. Is this a K-3 or am I filing for an upgrade of the visa he has

I think you're going to want to aim for the CR-1/IR-1

K-3 is an old outdated visa. Good luck!

**** Moving from K3 to AOS from Student visa forum ****

He does't need a visa, because visas are used to enter countries. Your husband will need to Adjust Status: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

One thing you are going to have to consider is how you are going to handle the I-864 forms for financial support...

I am thinking by the sounds of it you may need a joint sponsor...you need to clear 125% of the poverty line. If you can't do that you will need to work on getting a joint sponsor lined up.

what is a joint sponser?

Download the I-864 and the I-864 instructions. Study them carefully. Joint Sponsor is explained there. Also, click on the word Guides at the top of any page here and study the guide for adjusting status from student and other visas.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
