CR1 - using assets while both living abroad?

[jeff27 2]

A few questions about if we marry abroad and live abroad together while applying/waiting for the CR1 (and I stop working in the US):

- Since I would leave the job in the US to marry her and live with her abroad, would that mean my income is 0 (or would they examine my previous 3 years of taxes)?

- If I'm just petitioning for her, would that mean I would have to show 3x the poverty guidelines in assets?  or is it 5x the poverty guidelines? 

 

My intent is to marry her abroad and live with her afterwards until her CR1 gets approved. And I will have no problems working again in the US afterwards

Thanks.

Your salary would be zero.

 

Assets would be three times. You must show that you have had said assets for at least a year, it usually cannot be the value of your primary home and any asset must be easily liquidated within a year.
