Hi all! I need some advice or just clarification for AOS I-864.

 

Here's a brief history on our situation: My US citizen husband and I moved from Manila (we both resided there and also applied for K-1 from there) to NYC last October and got married in December 2017. Since then, he has gotten a part-time job (part-time because he is also currently studying theater) but unfortunately his earnings do not meet the poverty line requirement for I-864. However, I'm self-employed. My work is online, meaning I earn money from content I create on YouTube, my blog, social media and most of my clients are mostly from the Philippines, UK/Canada/Australia/US -- which means I'm not really breaking any laws by continuing my self-employment status (I made this clear during my K-1 application and during the embassy interview, the consul even brought it up making a joke that due to my line of work, I for sure wouldn't be on welfare lol) -- My question is: since my husband's income isn't meeting the requirements, can we use his + my assets combined when filing for AOS? We have a joint bank account that we applied for after getting married with assets that reach the I-864 requirement but I'm not sure if this would be considered because half of those assets are from me?

 

Has anyone else been in this situation or know someone who was able to apply this way? Any insight would be gladly appreciated!

 

Thank you!
