help with i864

[laurak29 19]

Hi, my husband and I are getting ready to file for my aos. For the i864 as one of the supporting documents we have my husbands letter of employment, it is dated from february of this year, would that be ok? Also he his a teacher and in the letter it says something along the lines of "his salary for the 2014-2015 school year is $....." In my interview at the embassy they said to keep it for aos, so I did. Im just worrying that they won't accept it now because it says the 2014-2015 school year not 2015-2016 school year.

Obviously he is on vacation at the moment so he can't get an updated letter from his employer until late august/early september. My i94 expires on august 9th but I have read that it doesn't really matter if you don't file for aos within the 90 days, it just matter that you get married within the 90 days, which we have! I appreciate any input.

Your husband should have a contract for the 2015-16 school year. He should send a copy of that in. He can go to the HR or central office and get a letter that says he is employed for the upcoming school year. Lots of people need letters like that for home loans.

His campus may be closed, but normally school district administration is open year round. Somebody is interviewing teachers for positions that have opened up to fill in the gaps before school starts. Contact them for an employment/salary verification letter.

Ok thank you. So it won't matter than we don't file by August 9th when my i94 expires? Obviously we will do it as soon as we can

No, it does not matter. The terms of your visa are to marry within 90 days. You did that. The law does not state you must apply for AOS within the same 90 days, even though that is desirable. Get on with the rest ASAP. Once you have filed, you are in a protected status while you await a decision on your application, even with an expired I-94.
