Filing I-864 after a move (with no job)

[Alex+R 0]

I will be using a joint sponsor when I adjust status (my dad) but I will be moving to NY right before we get married, and I will probably not be working yet when we send in our AOS package.

Although I have a joint sponsor, I know USCIS can get picky about letting someone totally unemployed sponsor an immigrant, even with a joint sponsor, right?

If so, do you think it would be all right if after I secure employment (presumably soon after filing) I send in proof of employment? So as not to get rejected based on the I-864? Or will they send an RFE for that?

Hehehe am I getting ahead of myself?

My wife was unemployed and well below the poverty line when she sponsored me (she

was a full-time student at the time) but I had a very good co-sponsor (a friend -- $150k

annual income + property worth $500k + 401k and other assets) and it worked out just fine.

You can file the AOS with your non-working I-864 and your Joint Sponsor's.

When your AOS interview finally comes up, you may submit a NEW I-864 for yourself and withdraw the Joint Sponsor's if your new income is sufficient.

I was someone totally unemployed at the time, and they let me sponsor my husband in.

You can not add info into your case after filing, until you have yrru interview.

Wow I had no idea. But I still don't have 3 years of tax returns, only 1 (was in school making less than required to file, then out of the country) so I'll probably still need my dad. But I feel relieved. It also makes my filling out the I-864 pretty easy.

The current I-864 requriement is for the one, most recent tax return, not three.

I read that in the instructions but then there are these boxes for "I have attached my three most recent tax returns" or "I have attached one, but I filed three." There is no "nope, just one" box. But I'm not going to be doing this until March or April. I'm just a little ####### about getting everything done as soon as possible.
