ok guys...here's my question. how bad will it look on the paperwork for my husbands greencard if *I* the main sponsor is not working, AT ALL. before you ask, yes i have a co-sponsor, my father, and he fortunately makes pleeeeeeeeeeeeenty of money to cover the poverty line plus alot. the reason why i would NOT be working is because i am a full time student. will the uscis understand this and not deny over my unemployment? i have to go to school, not going is not an option. let me know if anyone has any experience of this or any opinions! thanks!

I was unemployed when I filed and I didn't even have a noble excuse like going to school!

Remember:

1- YOU are the Sponsor, regardless of income. If you are asking regarding AOS, you'll be using form I-864 and YOU must complete one as the primary Sponsor.

2- Your father can be a JOINT Sponsor on I-864.

3-As noted, other unemployed people have had cases approved.

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?
