Wow OP is straight up lying...

Based on the OPs other posts it is clear that he didn't understand the disadvantages of a K1.  He is running out of money and can't navigate healthcare. 

 

Fortunately he now has an EAD and can take care of both of those issues.  It will be interesting to see what occurs at AOS.

So where is your wife in all of this? From your post history I can tell that you are struggling with a few things. You are desperate to get your EAD because you're running out of money. You were having a hard time trying to find health insurance because you couldn't be added to her Medicare or Medicaid. 

 

Your wife has a responsibility as your petitioner and sponsor. She should support you financially, and she should help you navigate the healthcare system. If you have a joint sponsor, they have that responsibility as well. 

 

You said you worked before you filed for AOS, so that would have been in November? Why would you go back there 5 months later to collect a check? That makes no sense. 

 

Your wife needs to step up and help you with this. And both of you have to do a lot of research on this immigration process. You seem pretty clueless, and it's very important to understand what is coming and what the rules are. 

 

Edited to add: I think there may be a language barrier here as well. It's hard to fully understand the laws and rules of a new country if you're not fluent in the language. Your wife has to help you with that, or find someone who can. You should not have to try to figure it all out by yourself.

I have also noticed the absence of the wife in all this. Even his posts come across as someone who is living alone, asking for help with US-specific terminology such as “healthcare exchange”, for example. Most people here on marriage-based visas ask their USC spouse what these things mean. I still ask my husband what certain words/phrases mean and I’ve been here over 3 years. He also says “I’m running out of money”. Where’s the wife in all this?

The wife is 21 - and probably has very limited resources and experience.

I saw that in a previous post as well. Which led me to believe that there probably is a joint sponsor who may need to step in and be helpful.

You knew you needed a work permit. You posted twice in January about it

 

 

You don't know that. You are jumping to conclusions. He asked those questions in january 2020, but he might have worked before that, already. It's beyond me how did he not know, but it is possible. You're just judging, which isnt helpful.

First of all not all employers have health insurance so she can add me to her health insurance... secondly she’s only 21 years old she’s not free to look up for immigration proceedings , she got school and work to do. And not all people are rich like you so you be out of money one day.. and I just wanted an advice. I don’t care if they deny me cuz of I worked. Can you tell me what is the difference between now and 5 months ago? Im still i am nothing changed. Before five months I cannot work and i have been waiting so now i can work.. this doesn’t make sense at all. 
 

and about my language... i got ielts certificate 7 out of 9 so ur not a teacher to rate my language.

No all people should know about immigration and my wife is not old enough have all these experiences and about the run out of money, just keep in mind not all people are rich so they can help.. have u seen people working all day just to afford their rent and their bills? 
and we’re in a situation that my wife got off from her job cuz of the covid19 how is she supposed to help me? 
I don’t accept that im man of my actions i have to help her... i love how u guys are convinced with the immigration rules. I dare u to give one reason about wat is the difference between now before i got eligible to work and 5 months ago when I was not eligible. What has changed?

Okay the joint sponsor is really helpful.. but it’s been more than 5 months.. should he come everyday and to give me money about everything and already spent a lot of money on my wedding and we’re from different cultures and our rituals are different as well so don’t judge please. I have a question for you. Would u accept that someone spend on u money? And ur old enough to go and fight for this hard life? Be fair be human

Taking care of my new spouse would be #1 on my priority list.

I'm certainly not 21 any more, but when I was, I worked full time and went to school and had at least a couple hours over the past several months to research something if needed.

If it is necessary, yes. That's the responsibility a joint sponsor agrees to do. Hence why being a joint sponsor is a considerable undertaking.

Different cultures and rituals has nothing to do with the current situation.

Do NOT make a misrepresentation. That is the worst thing to do here.

Reminder that advising illegal immigration activities is against the TOS.

I alway wonder, why people have computers, Internet, smartphones, bluetooth headphones, Video games, and all the other electronic toys. Yet they have no clue about immigration.  

The Google is confusing.

She should have helped you look into your options.

She obviously had time to do what needed to be done for you to move here.

My husband and I definitely aren't rich. But we researched and knew what to expect. So we had some savings before I moved here that would get us through the time I would be waiting for my EAD.

The difference is that you were not authorized to work 5 months ago, and you are now.

I did not mean to offend you, but it's clear from your posts here that you don't understand what people are telling you.

The joint sponsor has a responsibility to support you. This can be done in many ways. They are responsible for you for years. And no, I would not want to have someone else spend money on me. That's why my husband and I waited until we were financially able to go through the immigration process without needing a joint sponsor.

I'm pretty sure that's most of us in the US.

Well, at least that means that she now has more time to do some research on the immigration process she signed up for so she understands her responsibilities. 

 

Your wife and joint sponsor have responsibilities, and you need their help and support.
