Can we go to school?

[angelalahavok 8]

Hi all, I'm just wondering if I can go back to school while aos is pending and/or during this whole time until my husband gets his citizenship because I know one needs to be making a good amount of money during this time and I do have a co sponsor. But if there is another time where I need to prove my income after filing for aos I don't want it to be really low. And same question for my husband too if he can go to school also?

You need a status that allows you to attend school while AOS is pending.

Schools will require proof of your US citizenship or green card to attend school.

Both of you can go to school.

Yes, you can go to school. Your husband should check with the school to see exactly what documentation they require to attend there.

AOS is the last time you need to provide an I-864. That one I-864 will remain valid until he:

1. Becomes a U.S. citizen;
2. Has worked, or can be credited with, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act;
Your obligations under a Form I-864 will end if the person who becomes a permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that you signed:
4. Becomes subject to removal, but applies for and obtains in removal proceedings a new grant of adjustment of status, based on a
new affidavit of support, if one is required; or
5. Dies.

if you don't have documentation yet you can still go to school but would pay out of state tuition

It takes about 10 years to get 40 quarters, or 5, if counting quarters from both spouses together. You can search for more info, but here is one to explain from the SSA > https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10072.pdf
